Diplex switch would be your friend.

There are plenty of instructions on multiple lnb setups on this self help forum but you have to look and read them, nobody is going to write you a tailor made tutorial

@foxtail a diplexor is not going to help at all, that is used for mixing terrestrial and sat signals

Diseqc was what I wanted to say. A little too many brown pops. Diseqc switch is easy. If you can...scan each sat. first without the switch...save all the channels. Shutdown all your stb stuff, hook up diseqc switch to the lnb remembering which sat is which. Turn on your equipment...go to satellite setup....pick diseqc under setting and change each port to the lnb that you put them on. You should be able to view tv after that. That is from memory so your setup may be different but it should be about the same with each stb box.

i used Microbox Diseqc 2.0 switch with my SS2 using Progdvb and DVBDREAM but its not satisfactory at all. It doesnt works with two satellites using KU universal Lnb's like Hotbird and Eurobird 9. It works good only when one of the satellites is in universal ku band and other one is C band
