I wonder if it would be possible to fit, say, three LNBs *vertically* on
one dish, to get full coverage of an inclined-orbit satellite which was
sometimes above the plane, sometimes on it and sometimes below?

Has anyone ever heard of that being done?


It might, but since any useful DVBS sat is in equatorial orbit, there
would not be much practical application would there?



You'd be off the "focus" of the dish...
