Unicable setup query

At the moment i have a satellite dish with lnbs pointed at 28e, 19e and 13e which connects to switch which then has single cables routed to 5 rooms.

I want to upgrade my setup to work like below. For the the fbc tuner i want to basically have an enigma2 receiver with fbc tuner act as server and through xteve act as a server for plex clients around the house. For everwhere else i just want the option of connecting twin tuners if needed. I probably dont really need 2 connections on each wall but have 2 cables routed to each socket from the the attic so i have can provide signal to both i may aswell. Outside of the one room using the fbc tuner receiver the rest would use unicable comptabilble receivers, again all walls are unlikely going to have a receiver connected to them but if i can provide the signal to these sockets then i may aswell to future proof.

Can i have unicable 2 lnb's on 28e, 19e and 13e that connect to a switch that would then route cables to the walls below and be setup like below? If so what sort of switch would be needed?

Room 1 Wall 1: 2 satellite connections that can support fbc tuner with 8 signals from 28e (if 8 signals can be received from 19e and 13e too then great but not necessary).
Room 1 Wall 2: 2 satellite connections that can receive signal from 28e, 19e and 13e

Room 2 Wall 1: 2 satellite connections that can receive signal from 28e, 19e and 13e
Room 2 Wall 2: 2 satellite connections that can receive signal from 28e, 19e and 13e

Room 3 Wall 1: 2 satellite connections that can receive signal from 28e, 19e and 13e
Room 3 Wall 2: 2 satellite connections that can receive signal from 28e, 19e and 13e

Room 4 Wall 1: 2 satellite connections that can receive signal from 28e, 19e and 13e
Room 4 Wall 2: 2 satellite connections that can receive signal from 28e, 19e and 13e

Room 5 Wall 1: 2 satellite connections that can receive signal from 28e, 19e and 13e
Room 5 Wall 2: 2 satellite connections that can receive signal from 28e, 19e and 13e
 
Have a look at the inverto site, it has diagrams that could explain options better. Best you treat unicable and FBC as separate entities that they are to avoid complications.

Option 1.
You can have unicable switches fed with multiple LNBs. These can pipe around to different rooms as required. These are not cheap.

Option 2. You can have programmable LNBs/switches. These connect to the combiner and converge to the cable you want and then split as required. The programmers are not cheap.

You are going to struggle to get a switch with 3 satellite inputs and so many physical outlets. All 3 satellites will be sent out on one cable. Better to run cables and connect when needed instead of having 'live' ports.

Option 3. You can have receiver with two FBC cards. Feed it with 3 separate unicable LNBs. All other receivers/devices stream over the network from this receiver. There are Android plugins for Kodi that will connect to the Enigma receiver.
 
For Option 3, Sparkle App on Android is a great choice. It connects to your Enigma 2 receiver and downloads the channel list with a full EPG. It can also use the same channel numbers as on your Enigma 2 receiver.
