I will be using the Model 311 receiver for my RV as part of my subscription to DishNetwork.

I have a Dish 500 for my RV, the LNB has 2 ports but has no switches internally. Can anyone tell me what kind of switch to buy so that I can get both birds. My reciever has only 1 input from the satellite.

I will have 2 cables from the LNB which should go to a switch then to the outside plug on my RV...
 
Take what you have now and try tracking in the satellite to see if you can do it. When you get it set up run a check switch to see what you have for LNBs. You probably have a Twin with an internal switch. But from your question I wonder if you can really use the dish. It is not a TV antenna that you can just crank up and get a picture.
