Sky Q on non Sky dish?

I have an 80cm penta dish at 19.2E and have Sky Q fed from the dish provided by Sky at 28.2E.

I wan't to have 13E, 19.2E and 28.2E via fixed LNBs and a motorised dish to move about for other sats (30W, 5W, 0.8W, 9E and others as needed). I don't think adding a 3rd dish for the motorised set-up is a starter. The Sky dish is probably too small to capture all 3 satellites (Glasgow area) so I'd likely need a bigger dish for that and motorise the 80cm penta dish.

Can anyone tell me if a Sky Q LNB would work on another dish. I know a regular LNB would but I'm not sure if there is anything special about the shape of the satellite and the Sky Q LNB. I have purchased a hybrid LNB so that I can access the freesat channels on 28.2 should I ditch my Sky subscription. Any help appreciated.

I've been planning additional sats for a few months but each time I think I'm settled on them a new option/obstacle comes up.
 
A Sky Q LNB will work on any dish as long as you get a good signal, you could use the 80cm penta dish for the multi lnb setup, as you're planning to go motorized you could just add the Sky Q LNB & use it for 28e & 19e. At least a 1m dish is normally recommended for a motorized setup, especially if you're looking to get sports feeds, (most are encoded in Biss).
As for ditching Sky, that's up to you, maybe wait until you get motorized first.

As mike says skyq will work on any
Satellite dish that has the proper legacy
Clip and adaptor to fit it If your installing the dish yourself remember
Sky q is on a different transponder to
Normal sky so a good sat meter with
The transponder instaled is required
 
Many thanks guys. That’s some good news - gives me a solid option.

Cactikid - what I’m looking for would need 3 sats if I leave Sky Q on its own sat, which is probably too much to have on the house. Gardens mounts would be too low down to get the signals due to trees.
 
Monblock would be one method

Have you got a link to them?

Is this the same thing?
 
Monblock has a built in disqec switch
Which combines the satellites
With multi l.n.b bracket and the black rocket l.n.b s you will need 4×1 disqec switch for each twin tunner reciever The
Switch will combined all three satellites
For one cable I use company called
Kam sat they are selling on eBay You
Can also purchase various multi l.n.b
Holders to suit your satellite dish
