Normally these are not far apart enough 2.2° (28.2°E - 26°E), unless you would have strong reception like on hotbird on your location. Maybe with miss aligning them on 26°E to the East for 0.4° would work?

I live in northen Denmark but there is 2 degree between thes two satelittes why 3° not work maybe 4° woud work . I have searched but coudnt find an lnb whith 4° .

you misunderstood: 3° angled duo LNB opening is 0.8° to great. By slightly moving the LNB away from 26°E to West (said East, was wrong)
25.5°E for 1st lnb would set 2nd lnb at 28.5°, problem should not be 28.2°E except for Astra 2D that might require a bigger dish if not aligned correctly on 28.2°E?
Best result would be either separate dish or motor and only use 1 LNB on current dish. 3° separated duo LNB is smallest you can find. (13°E - 16°E)
