There are three solution:

1) You can take a twin/quad LNB (cheap, two/four cables to the two/four
receivers/DVB-cards) - about 80 EUR, no terrestrian signals available

2) Quadro-LNB with Multiswitch (four cables from each LNB to Multiswitch,
one cable between each receiver and Multiswitch) - about 40 EUR per LNB and
up from 100 EUR (depending on the numbers of LNBs and receivers), can also
transport terrestrian signals from antenna or cable)

3) Frequency-shifting-solution (only one cable through the complete house) -
about 170 EUR (TECHNISAT Disicon), only digital sat-signals, no analogue
sat, no terrestrian
