Hello all - I am currently wanting to add another receiver to my living room for Picture in a Picture. I have Dish Network installed with a dual LNB and one line goes into my home office and another to my living room. What type of switch or splitter do I need so I can use another reciever in my living room so I can watch another station for picture in picture? So basically the one output in the living room I want to split to two receivers for my picture in picture. I need help! I am so confused on what switch I need for this to happen. Thanks in advance for the help.

Now being you said you have a dual lnbf (only 1 lnbf on dish) I`m assuming you have the old dish 300.This gives you only 2 choices.You can buy a 2x4 switch for dishnetwork or you can upgrade your dish to a dish 500 with a quad lnbf. This would allow you to have up to 4 receivers with either choice.
