3 boxes through one LNB lead?

i have a multifocus dish with 4 lnb's, which are led thru a 4/1 disecq switch into one lead, which is then fed into 2 digital satellite receivers through a smart priority switch. this works fine when i switch on the box i want to watch and switch off the other one.

the question is, is there a way of feeding THREE boxes to this lead? i'm loooking for a fairly cheap solution so don't want to start changing lnb's or anything like that.

bit surprised i haven't found a priority switch for 3 boxes, do they not exist? one idea i had was using two 2/1 priority switches so that the lnb lead goes into the first switch, this feeds into one box and to the other switch, which then feeds into to the other 2 boxes. would this work, and would the signal be siginifcantly weakened?

grateful for any help on this!
