Simple switch question

[chevyN8]

What model of switch will I need with the following situation....
I believe it's a dish 300(I know it's Echostar) and I'm sure it's only hitting one bird (I've had to get the reciever going a few times for trainings). Right now, the maintenance guy has it set-up so when the sat. dish is needed in the board room, he gets on the roof and unhooks the library coax and hooks up the board room coax. I'm the computer/network tech so I don't deal with the sat. stuff much. However, I think it would be easier if he used a switch up on the roof that will run both rooms at the same time. These are old recievers. So, my question...what model of switch and where can he get one?
thanks,

all you would need is a Dual LNB
run one line to a receiver
run the other line to the other receiver

OK thanks. I'll do some looking around. I guessing it will need to be a legacy dual lnb that will fit our dish. Need to get on the roof and see exactly what it is.

yes

It must be an old setup if it has a single output LNB
