Motorised 1m dish

Hi all
Currently I have a motorised 1.2m dia. dish that I had installed a few years ago when I first got into satellite tv.
It has 1 cable running out of it going into a HD freesat and a HD satellite receiver, I have to swap over the cable when my wife wants to watch something on Hotbird. Now that Formula 1 is going to Sky I feel I have no option but get Sky to watch all the races live. Im not happy about this but what can I do. Anyway I've spoken to the Sky people and they say the installer will come out and survey the dish. I know I'll have to get someone to install additional LNB's and cables so ideally I have 2 cables for the Sky box and 1 for the HD Satellite receiver, not so bothered about the Freesat as Sky should have most of the same programs available. Whats the likely cost and options to install additional LNBs, cables etc. Any help would be much appreciated. I'm in Banchory, Aberdeenshire if anyone knows a reliable installer.
many thanks
