Default 2 dishes two monoblocks one receiver?

Hi, my mate has the above setup with one dish receiving 4.8E & 0.8W
and the other one 13E & 19E. Two cables going down to receiver (tm6900 super) at which point he has to swap the cables to watch one or the other. Asked for help but personally I could not think of anything other than getting a manual switch
like the one on fleabay (item no: 250263430856 ) Is there any other way of getting the dishes hooked up to one receiver? Sugested motorising but he`s not very kin on the idea. (one of the blokes that likes to have a farm of dishes to **** off his neighbour
Regards,
Roadrunner

He needs an uncommitted or Diseqc1.1 switch, eg the Spaun sur 211.

Does it then switch between monoblocks automatically? What about switching between the sides of each monoblock? currently he`s got 1of4 and 2of4 on both dishes (1of4 and 2of4 being either 0.8w&4.8e or 13e&19e depending of which cable he uses) If he bought that thing would he be able to set them
for example 1,2,3,4 with 1and2 one monoblock and 3and4 the other with the new switch working automatically between the two cables? Sorry if I am asking stupid questions but at the moment I think setting up my motorised dish was piece of cake yet am stuck on simple task like this

Yes, it will switch between the monoblocks, using Diseqc 1.1.
