Dual LNB Question

The tech only ran one cable to the house from the dish. Is there any way to hook up a second receiver off of the one cable or do i need a second from the dish?

Dual LNB (1 eye) only receives 1 satellite signal, NOT 2! Twin LNB (2 eyes) receives 2 satellite signals with 2 outputs..
