Using Quad LNB with three receivers?

Any tips for this type of setup would be appreciated?

Do you need to feed each LNB with power?

The main receiver will drive the dish motor.
If no to above, is it better to power the LNBs from the receiver not driving the motor.

Also is it possible to drive the dish with more than one receiver?

A Quad LNb will have 4 separate outputs requiring a supply feed from the receivers. If DiSEqC motor is being used, connect one to the motor and the other three outputs direct to other receivers. All feeds will be receiving the same satellites as the dish moves.

Only one receiver will be able to power the motor. The Quad LNB will derive its power from each receiver that is connected.

Is there any reduction in signal level due to the fact there are four outputs

Think of it as 4 LNb's in one housing
