    On different satellite clusters, yes. You could use that to get Astra 1 and Astra 2 or Astra 1/Hotbird or similar.

    you'd need a multilnb holder...

    Or extremely accurate duct taping skillz. Its entirely possible, believe me, to do a dual LNB setup with some stiff cardboard and LOTS of waterproof duct tape.... just don't expect it to last much Irish wind.

    No. As I said, any offset LNB will be on a different satellite cluster. Sky only transmit on Astra 2/Euobird 1 at 28E.
