My mother-in-law would like to share her neighbor's satellite
dish antenna, but doesn't want to be restricted to watching
the same program as her neighbor.  Is it necessary to purchase another
receiver (both of which would then be hooked up to the same LNA), or do these
receivers tune a whole "bank" of channels, which are then selected using
something low-cost, like a cable TV channel selector?  Assuming a cooperative
neighbor, how inexpensively can I accomplish what she wants?  (She already
knows that she's going to be limited to channels carried on the same satellite
her neighbor is tuning, of course.)
