Answer 1

How many LNBs are there on the two dishes?

Answer 2

You need a switch that can be bought from Dish Network.  The switch goes between the receiver and the two antennas.  During setup, the receiver will detect the switch and figure out how to work it.  Once you set it up, it works without you having to do anything, and you will have access to the channels received by both dishes.
