With one dish for three birds...

Your situation would seem to be the normal transaction...

given that when you switch between satellites you must wait for the signal to come from a few degrees different either by elevation or azimuth change...

How long are you searching for signal? under a min. would seem to be normal switch over time...

Unless you had independent dishes, A,B,C switches set-up, your set-up would seem the most logical, if your not waiting for long periods of time...just my thoughts

I'm pretty sure it won't work.

FWIW
