NIMIQ2 and T5 on 30" dish?

Hi,
I was wondering whether it is possible to install 2 LNBFs on a 30" dish in order to receive both Telstar5 (97 W) and Nimiq 2 (82 W) .
I already have a 30" dish installed for T5 reception and I wanted to avoid installing a second dish for expressvu.

If anyone has any pointers, that would be great.

thanks

I doubt it would work; those two sats are too far apart. Might work with Nimiq 1 as its at 91 degrees -- only 6 degrees apart from T5. Nimiq 1 has all the core channels anyway; Nimiq 2 is only high def and foreign languages.
