It depends a lot on the separation between the satellites you are trying to receive, whether the satelllites can be received on the size of dish used (remember offset lnbs will have a significantly lower signal) and the lnbs you use.
Which satellites are you looking to receive i.e. what part of the satellite arc?
What is your location?

If your trying for more then 3 satellites it would be better to use an elliptical** dish, you would have better signal strength on the outside LNB's.

**An elliptical dish is a bit wider side to side then a normal parabolic dish, this way you can use a multi LNB bracket to add LNB's.

Look at a Dish 1000 setup (used in the US) it can receive 3 satellites at a 19 degree spread, I don't know if you can find one outside of the US or Canada, but there are other makes out there.

At one time i had 10 narrow invertos on a TD88, there was some juggling to work out the best position for pointing the dish in the first instance. Have Turksat satellite at 42 on the far end of a line of LNBs was fine for me at the time as the signals were incredibly strong here in the mdlands.....

On a 1m dish the minimum seperation you can get is about 4 degrees. It will be a bit less for bigger dishes, & a bit more for smaller dishes.
