No, don't think so, as most monobloc LNBs have a 6 degree separation and you would need to make a dummy satellite to enable the Sky side to be in the correct position and the Digibox does not have a DiseqC facility. You would be better to have a separate dish for Sky.

It would work with a just a TWIN LNB though. I had this once and it did work. The sky box kept having hiccups though, so as rolf says a separate dish is much better.
