two sky + boxs plus 0ne normal box , only 4 LNBs can this be done Help?

is there any way to operate two sky + boxs and 1 normal sky box from 1 sat.

not normally. certainly not if you want the two sky+ boxes to have full sky+ functionality. The sky+ boxes use two feeds from the lnb, so 2 boxes will use 4 feeds leaving no feed for the single sky box. only option would be two dishes or to feed the sky box in the same way as a tv link fed from the main box. Means you would ahve to watch the same programmes.
Im sure however there may be a commercial alternative to the standard quad lnb as in a block of flats you maybe have 10 flats working off one dish but each able to view thier own programmes. Try calling sky in home services. think its 0845 95 95 95.

No.You need five LNB outputs. Swap your current one for one with eight outputs
