Multiple Lnb to Multiple Receivers

[Theseeker]

Hello Guys

I need your help figuring this out. So I have 6ft Dish bracketed with 3 C-Band Lnb and 2 Ku band Lnb. It is currently only connected to one receiver but I want to know how I can go about connecting it to 4 receivers. All the Lnb's are single Lnbs, and I know for it to work I might possibly need to get dual and quad Lnbs.

Here is the real question. If get 4 Dual C-band lnbs can I connect each of the 3 lnb to a Zinwell 3×4 multi-switch for H/V then connect a 8x1 diseqc switch. The the 4 receiver out on the multi-switch will go the Lnb in of each of the diseqc switch and the ku quad lnb will be connected also to the diseqc switches which will then go to each receiver.

Will this setup work or is there another way to go about this?
Thanks

Yes (simple answer)
Or get 4X4 multi switches and then it's less parts
There is an old thread about switches
Switch setups simplified
Here is a pic that would visualize it easier (yes it's wrong lnbs but concept is there)

Thanks I appreciate the quick response. Cheers

Adding to the excellent advice provided by Mr Tony, powered multiswitches will make the setup more reliable.

Also if you can get quad LNBFs, then all you need are the diseqc switches. I just don't know a reliable source for quad C-Band LNBFs. But for the Ku LNBFs that should not be too difficult

Also note that if using multiswitches that also use 22 kHz, the Ku LNBFs should be standard 10750 Mhz LNBFs, rather than Universal LNBF - which these days are not easy to find

Thank you. I will definitely keep this is mind.

Another option is to use "One Cable" solution LNBFs and switches if your receivers support the LO / polarity "one cable" (band stacking setting.

I am going to look into that when I am buying receivers for the other rooms
