Receiving feeds from two dishes and showing both independently on two TVs

I have two dishes in France, each pointing at a separate satellite cluster,ie one for English FTA TV and the other for French FTA. Each dish is connected to it's own tv decoder/receiver. (ie currently we have to use a different TV depending on what language channel we want to watch!!).
I need to combine signals from both dishes so that they can be shown on both TVs.
From reading various info on-line, I'm guessing that I will need to replace the single output LNB in each dish for a twin output LNB;
and I will need to use a 4 x 2 Diseqc switch?
Can someone knowledgeable confirm that this is the case, or is there a simpler/cheaper method of connection where I don't need to replace the LNBs?

This diagram can help. You can use Diseqcs 1/4 in case if you decide add more LNBs later

Many Thanks RimaNTSS,
The Diagram is really helpful.
Your solution of using two 1/2 Diseqc switches should save me some money, as these seem to cost much less.
Very Best Regards.
 
If I where you I would buy 1/4 diseqcs, they are really not expensive (cheapest models coast less than 1 EUR).
 
OK, Thanks.
The solution I was looking at would have cost around 40 EUR for a '4 in 2 out twin Diseqc switch'.
Many Thanks for your help.
