I have a dish with two lnb's one being used on Hotbird 13 and the other one I want to use for 28E.Do I just put the the cables from the lnb's to a diseqc switch then run one cable from the switch to my receiver and config my receiver to suit?Is it that straight forward?

At its simplest level, yes.

But what dish are you using for this? The shape and size will partly determine whether that 15 degree spread can be achieved effectively and efficiently.

Is it the 90cm mentioned in your profile? If so, that should be ok (I have a 24 deg spread on an old Sky "Analogue" dish).

Yes, 90cm should be fine.
