Best set up for Multi LNB dish and Vu+ Duo

Hiya folks,
I'm looking for some advice on a dish setup.
I'm thinking of getting a wave frontier T90 set up for 7w,1w 13e',19e' and astra 2 on a quad LNB while keeping Astra/Sky PVR functionality(on a Vu + Duo) on the downstairs TV and a freeview box active in a bedroom.

In my head the Set up works out as the toroidal dish with maybe 5 LNBs, 1 of which is a quad for Astra 2 and a 8way diseqc switch.

Now I see the wiring as running like this,7w,1w, 13' 19' and 1 feed off Astra 2 to diseqc switch(I have no experience with Diseqc but would this be the way to cable up to allow Astra PVR and keep other sat feeds too?

One feed of Astra 2 direct to box(will definitly be most used/recorded sat)and one direct to freeview box. Would that be the best way to do it?
I ideally want the ability to keep as close a recording ability to Sly + as possible, or would it make more sense to go with duo LNBs on 7w,1w 13e and 19e along with 2 8way diseqc switch's into each of the Vu+ inputs?

If anyone could point out the holes/mistakes in my thinking I'd appreciate it as like I said I have absolutely zero experience of Diseqc and multi LNB set ups
 
Are you in the UK?

If so, you stand no chance whatsoever getting 7W with a Wave Frontier.

It already requires something like 1.2m dish carefully aligned even to get a handful of the Vertical Transponders.

For Horizontals, you're looking at 1.8m or more, depending upon location.

I'm in Ireland, I'm actually not too bothered about 7w to be honest, My main intereste would be on 13e', 19e' and astra but the set up I'm looking at comes with 5 LNBs so I figure I may aswell point them somwhere :-) Like I said this multisat thing is all new to me so any advice is appreciated
