Default Two motors one receiver

Hi all.

here's a question is it possible to have two motorised dishes connected to one receiver.
The reason i ask is that i live in an end terrace house which is orientated / lies more or less bang on north south. so step in my back garden i face east, step in my front i face west.
My current dish is in my back garden and catches most everything from 1.0 w (just) to 28e. but cant go any further west as the house gets in the way.
I was going to move the dish so it could see above the ridge of the roof (some of you may remember me asking about it last year) but i have decided that its a long way up and to be honest i dont fancy being blown off a ladder and killed whilst clutching a great big dish (besides people might think i died trying to play extreme frizbee).
so my new plan is to fit one motorised dish to each side of the house, this way i only have to go up about ten feet rather than about 25 which i feel much more comfortable doing plus the house will look quite cute resembling mickey mouse . But can it be done has anybody done anything similar.

Any advice would be most appreciated.

Cheers, Red

P.S i think ive just managed to post this in the wrong section (sorry) if a mod wants to move it please do. please accept my apologies for the extra work caused.

Yes, it is possible, yorks has done it. I'm not sure if he has posted the details on here or not. Have a look around the forum. I will check later to see if I can find the post.
