3 receiver - what should I get? - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

I've got 2 receivers and planning to buy another one.
ATM I've got 1 dish with single LNB pointing at Hotbird. Another dish is minidish from Sly with quad LNB (Astra 28.2).

First receiver is connected to both LNBs via cheap DiseqC switch (tenner from Wizard).
Second receiver is connected to Sly minidish only.

What is the best way (read - the cheapest) to have all 3 receivers to be able to receibe both satellites?
I am thinking of buying 2 more DiseqC switches and Quad LNB - this will cost me roughly 35 quid (+ cables, fixings, etc).

Is there better solution?
