What you probably have is a multiswitch and a dish with at least two LNBs. Some multi-LNB dishes have a built-in multiswith so you might not be aware of it.

kc2Ki is absolutely correct. Your best bet is to get a dual LNB and a separate coax for the second TV with and additional receiver

After the receiver you can split to as many TV's as you want,your just limited to the channel the receiver is watching.

Use no splitters in down lead. (SL-3 is 99,101,103 birds only)
Slimline 5-SWM and slimline-3-SWM uses ONE downfeed and requires a power inserter (brick-type power supply), and may be split with PROPER splitter.
IMHO , one line for each tuner is more sutable for RV tripod use.

That is the accurate and correct answer.

DirecTV does not play well with splitters, However there is a device called a Switch (Digital Equipment Switch) which might do the job.
Dish is splittable.. but DirecTV a lot depends on what you want. Has to do with how they select even and odd transponders
it can be done, but it may be costly

Here is the link I used to educate myself on satellite systems and multi-switches. There are links at the top of the page to multi-switch FAQs.
