    Yes. You need either a Diseqc switch or a Multiswitch. If you use next size up dish, you can combine onto one dish

    If separate dishes, yes they do face different directions. That dish is pointed at 16E. As you move an LNB off the arm to left/west the focused reflection on the LNB will be for a satellite further east, of lower elevation, hence the reflection is higher. Note tilt of arm!

    So the LNBs receive from four directions. It could have single output LNBFs and feed a four way Diseqc switch for one receiver.
    Or quad output LNBFs and feed two four way Diseqc switches for one PVR and have spare outlets.

    It feeds a 16 way Multiswitch. 28E is on "port1" so a Sky box or Freesat box sees Sky/Freesat with no need to setup Diseqc.

    A "vu plus box" or PC card or anything with Diseqc can automatically select any of the four satellites when you change channel. The edge of dish in photo is a larger Triax 110cm dish on a Motek SG2100 Motor for 42E to 45W, slow to change channel if a satellite position change is needed. It directly feeds a dedicated cheap "blind scan" FTA box. PC cards can't usually drive a motor reliably.

    I have no pay TV. Only FTA channels. One FTA sky box (used to have 3 sky boxes with only one on Sub, the other two FTA). There are 3 x PCs with sat cards. One is Dual DVB-S2 card with USB Dual DTT stick as PVR with HDMI out. http://www.techtir.ie/reviews/mobidtv-dual-usb-dtt
