Would that allow to use a single LNB (with one wire) 
with two or more cards on 1.3?

That would require "dynamic Source Caps":
If both cards needs the same polarisation and the same of Lo/Hi Band,
both cards can work. If one card needs the "other" polarisation
it must be prohibited to switch it, as long as the other card 
is locking it. (See LNB sharing patch)

The same problems occurs with motor dishes too.
