Can I replace a DTV dish with one coax at the dish, and run a two-room Glorystar set up with two STBs, using the one coax and a switch, or will each Glorystar box need it's own coax directly from the dish?

If I can, will each of the two rooms be able to watch independently, or would they be a mirror, if only one supply coax from dish to a switch?

Basically trying to avoid running second line if possible?
 
You will need a dual output Zlnbbf and a coax run for each receiver. If you use one coax and split for two receivers, only one polarity can be watched by both receivers at the same time.

Example: if receiver A was watching a channel on a vertical polarity and receiver B tuned a channel on the horizontal polarity, receiver A would loose signal. Receiver A would be unable to watch the vertical polarity channel until receiver B was switched to a channel on a vertical polarity. Be very confusing for anyone trying to watch!
