Then you are a lottory winner....kidding. Now things are easy. Get a switch as I suggested. I recommend to get a Diseqc 4x1 since most of the FTA receiver support Diseqc. Connect both lnbfs to port 1 and 2. Once you set up your receiver correctly, it will switch the 2 satellites automatically. The reason I recommend the Diseqc 4x1 even you only need 2 ports for now is that if you plan to add more dishes in future, the switch is ready. Diseqc 4x1 can be used to switch up to 4 dishes (or 4 lnbfs).
Remeber the LO for circular lnbf is 11250.
What brand is your receiver?

The dish 500 system I have comes with two LNBF and a Y shaped addapter that hook these two together. But they did not connect the second LNBF when they first installed dishnetwork for me.

Do you need things like model number?
