Can I use two receivers on one dish, I started to think that I might some day like to add another receiver so that I can watch TV in another room. So Aim thinking if I set this up now I won't have to go back and reset thing up later. I have a Single LNBF DGL-668 will I need to get a different lnb ...if so what would you recommend!
thank for your time guys.
 
Two approaches come to mind.

You can use the "loop out" of the first receiver into the second, but then the #2 receiver is restricted to the same Vertical or Horizontal transponders of the first.
If it satisfies your needs, it's cheap 'n simple.

The better way, with more potential for expansion, is to use a two-output LNBF.
For now, you hook one output to each receiver.
In the future, you could easily connect both LNBF outputs to a multiswitch, and then to 4 or 8 receivers.
(See our Switches Simplified FAQ for more info)

All of our Gold Sponsors (top of the page) have suitable dual output LNBFs.
SatelliteAV has the GeoSatPro SL2 Bullet.
WSI has several choices, with their DMX-522 being the most recent.
Sadoun has several models including Invacom.
