Even with a multiswitch you still need a dual LNB; the MS won't function with a single LNB. Bottom line -- rainman and William Eng are right -- go with a dual LNB for two receivers and run separate coaxes to each receiver. The VTV4 transponder is pretty weak and the fewer db-hogging devices in the line the better.
