If you have a dual LNB then all you need to do is run a second line. But you really need to provide more information about what you have in order to help you.

You cannot use splitters. What type of LNB are you using? DishPro Twin???

Gabe that does not help. Is there only one line coming from the dish directly into the box without any switches in between? If that's the case then you have a DishPro and all you need to do is run a second line for your second receiver.

an easy yet limited viewing way is to daisy chain the stb's. use the IF OUTPUT from the first box and connect to IF INPUT on second box

that way has limits because if the first box is on the second box will only be able to view channels on same sat and same transponder plus acouple other transponders.

if the first box is off then all channels available.
