How to combine two dishes into one cable ?

I do it this way ( from 28°E to 7°E )

4 in to 1 cable
8 in to 1 cable
10 in to 1 cable

Somewhere in England (possibly?)!
I think that some of the responses so far are rather overkill to the @moonraker question ! :)

Depending on how many LNBs there are on each of his dishes, then a much simpler (and cheaper!) 2-1 or 4-1 DiSEqC may be all that is required.

OTOH, an EMP-Centauri 16-1 switch (albeit with a couple of unused inputs) works fine here for the dish farm at the bottom of the garden:)

Just to check - are you wishing to combine the cables from two dishes pointing at the same satellite in order to increase the signal? That won't work.

65cm dish should be okay, if it's a Sky dish then it might be a little more difficult due some Sky LNBs being slightly smaller diameter (38mm vs 40mm) but nothing some creative bodging can't fix.
