Since most cheap satellite TV setups use a downconverter which
is "tuned" by the receiver, you would probably end up needing
two receiver/downconverter sets.  You would also have to make
sure you got enough power out of the LNA to feed both units,
and you would be restricted to simultaneously watching channels
not only on the same satellite, but on the same POLARIZATION
as well (half the transponders are vertical, half are horizontal).
To get around this, you'd need a dual-polarity feedhorn and
another LNA as well.
