cheapest way to add 3rd receiver

hi,

i've got a twin monoblock lnb feeding two receivers. i would now like to add a third receiver.

what would be a cheap way to do this? e.g. get a quad monoblock lnb, multiswitch, etc.?

i'm really looking for the cheapest solution. any comments are welcome.

cheers, marty

Looks like a quad monobloc will do what you require.

i've just read about "a+b" switches. sharing the lnb would be sufficient. would this work? where can i get one/how much are they?

The only problem with an A+B switch, is that you will only be able to use one receiver at a time on the shared line.
