Three sats, one dish?

Guys, presumably 28.2, 19 and 13 are possible using a monoblock LNB for 19 & 13 and a seperate LNB for 28.2. I'm seriously considering doing this myself as I've been quoted £400+ for a professional installation which renders the cost way beyond my budget.

I'd avoid the Monoblock.

Just get an LNB rail that can take up to 4 LNB's (quad's in your case, and of course they'll all need to be fed into a DiSEqC switch).

If you need to connect 4 different boxes/feeds to all the 3 LNB's then you'd need 4 of the DiSEqC switches too - each switch connected to 1 port of each LNB.
