Unicable LNBs and motorised dishes

A Unicable LNB is a technology which allows multiple users (or multiple tuners) to access satellite broadcasts over a single coaxial cable and eliminates the need for the numerous cables required by a conventional system. In order to satisfy all users of the system the dish must remain permanently orientated to the one satellite that all the users wish to receive programing from. If the dish were to move from its permanent orientation this would disturb the viewing of all users of the system.

A motorised dish, on the other hand, allows a single user to orientate the dish at will and access broadcasts from many satellites right across the geostationary arc. Because he is the sole user of the system the continual reorientation of the dish as he moves from one satellite to another will not disturb the viewing of other users as there aren't any.

Trying to mix these two technologies will only end up producing unsatisfactory results. When multiple users (or multiple tuners) need to access more than one satellite the correct hardware to use is a permanently orientated dish with multiple LNBs or multiple dishes. This will ensure the viewing of one user does not disturb the viewing of other users of the system and also zapping will be instantaneous. This multi-sat system may use specially programmed Unicable LNBs and can still be delivered to multiple users over a single coaxial cable.

Thanks.

I have a 80cm motorised dish, although 99% of the time it stays on 28.2, I'm trying to learn German (at beginning stage) and having access to 19.2 to practise with, would be a bonus.

I have 3 cables coming from the lnb to the TV at present. Would I be better off bypassing my motor altogether and using two Unicable lnbs on one of those multi lnbs brackets, and buying an extra tuner for my new box?
Edit: I see this isn't possible as only the Ultimo can have extra FBC tuners, so going this route I could simply use my existing lnb on the bracket pointing to 19.2 and plug that cable into my TV set, that saves me a bit of cash too


Or can I make do with leaving the motor in, just the one unicable lnb and moving the dish on the few occasions I want to access 19.2, it wont be when anyone else is in the house.

In other words, presuming I'm a single user, I can still use the motor with Unicable? I think it says I can, just want to double check.
