Can vary dramatically.

Easiest option is a triple LNB which gives you B1+D1/B3/C1.

C1 - Almost all encrypted
B3 - One transponder of religious channels, plus one transponder of all
kinds

The interesting sat at present is NSS5 which a local outfit called
Orcsat are leasing a transponder on, but you would need an additional
dish for that.

I'm currently trialling a Toroidal dish (http://www.toroidal.co.nz/)
which can do upto 7 satellites, but I only have 4 loaded at the moment.
