a multi lnb bracket m8 and an lnb for each sat you want and a diseqec switch,,you could have one for 19e also ,think you might need alps lnbs for that as they are very slim

Normal lnb's are ok for 13e and 19e and 28e. This used to be a very common setup over here in better days when Astra 19e and Hotbird had much more to offer! You will only need Alps slim lnb's if sats are closer than 5 or 4 degrees. Like if you would like to squeeze 16e as well for example.;)

depending on your location and sat footprint and your interests these would be possible: 13°E 19.2° 23.5° 28.2°. If you would require 16°E in combination with 13°E & 19.2°E you would need very small finger size LNB's (3 ALPS could already be problematic) there base is to thick to fit nicely.
You would need a Diseqc switch to switch between LNB's
if you have 1 receiver with 1 tuner: single LNB would do / satlocation
if you have 1 receiver with 2 tuners: twin LNB needed (2 x cable, 2 x diseqc switch)
next step would be Quad Universal LNB
if you plan bigger installations you would require 1 Quattro LNB / sat location and special switches that output these signals to different receivers.
A quattro LNB is suitable for a shared installation, using one or more multiswitches to deliver signals to any number of decoders.

the switch depends on your LNB's (Twin or Quattro)
if you have Twin LNB(s) = 2 switches
if you have Quttro LNB(s) = 1 multiswitch (2 or more out)
take professional advice from your supplier and compare prices and keep in mind if you want to expand in near future.
