There should be some diagrams on Dish web-site, did you check them?
Dual LNB has two outputs: run separate cables from them to each receiver, that's it.
Are you sure LNB is Pro Dual and not PRo twin? With Dual, you are getting one satellite only, when with Twin you can get channels from two sats, and for the same money

Using the same LNB's would be very difficult. First you need to run 4 lines from the lnbf to two dp21 switches then run both lines to the receiver dish1 and dish2 port. Connect the other TV to the TV2 port on the receiver.

Best thing to do is to replace the lnb. Use DPP Twin LNB (DP plus). Take one line from the left side of the lnb and run it to the receiver. Inside the house use a separator (comes with 322) to split the line to dish1 and dish2 port of the receiver. Now you can connect the other TV to the TV2 port (yellow)of the receiver. The second TV should work on channel 21-125. To set that up you would need to go to Menu #6, #1, #5 and press select. Now choose what channel to view Dish on TV #2. Make sure you connect the remote antenna(green port) for remote #2 to work.

Good luck.

I have two room setup, and I don't have 4 lines from LNBF, just two.
And I don't need any "DP21" switches for two room setup, unless I want to get a signal from third (wing) satellite.
Just two cables needed, not 4, and no switches.
However, O.P. must specify what LNBF he has, dual, twin or quad.
