Question Is there a 1 dish setup for dish network and IA5

Is there a simple 1 dish setup for 2 receivers on DN regular and Internationals and IA5? (No HD required)

I saw someone's setup and they had 3 dishes!! 1 dish 500 hitting 110/119 1 dish 300 hitting 61.5 and a winegard 76cm for IA5. DN receiver and FTA receiver sitting on top of each other at TV. Not sure how it was wired though.
Here is the problem, 3 dishes look terrible, is there a better way? Don't want to go motorized cause want a 2 TV setup.

The options I have heard are:
Super dish + additional 30 inch for IA5 (however 2 big dishes still)
T90 torrodial
36 inch dish with some sorta multibracket
Ariza multistar oval dish with built in bracket for multi-lnbs.

These solutions however raise some new questions:
Can any of these dishes get dish internationals at 61.5?
Or do you go after 121 for internationals like the superdish?
Will internationals continue to be carried on 121? I thought i read they will kill them by year end off of 121? Is that true?
If internationals will stick around on 121, do you need an invacom quad to pickup 119 and 121 at the same time because they are so close together? How can that work on a T90? Is there a reverse polarity quad invacom?

This is all pretty confusing to me. Anyone have suggestions for a 1 dish solution?

PS: I also read that a new linear sat will show up at 118.5, not sure what will be on it. Would that screw up using an invacom quad for getting 119 and 121 simultaneously?

Just looking for a simple solution for 1 dish.

I've been trying to set up a dish for 91, 97, 119 and it's not working on a 76cm dish. I have a 100cm dish that I am going to try this with but I might just use a spare DirecPC elliptical instead. Your best bet for multi-satellite dish with both FSS and DBS is either going to be 100cm parabolic or 36" elliptical. The 22-degree spread between 97 in the center and 119 on the edge is turning out to be difficult on my parabolic dish.
