If above LNBs are twin LNBs then it should work w/o problems. I haven't 
tested with vdr, but normal receivers whould "eat" such a setup. (Doing 
the same with three LNBs on a 4input diseqc switch.) I just hope that 
those diseqc switches are of good quality.

@Klaus

What is a "real DisEqC multiswitch"? You mean a "real switch" using 
quadro LNBs (giving out LoH, HiH, LoV, HiV as seperate lines) as input? 
Of course this solution is better (esp in terms of signal quality) but 
apart from that it is a bit more costly as well...
