No! You need a dual output LNB (2 outputs). You can run a cable from the RF output of one skybox to the other tv and watch the same channels on both TV's.

If you're using a Sky Minidish, you'd need a Quad LNB, as there are no dual LNB's made for the Minidish. However, these are quite cheap nowadays anyway.

what is this thing (I'm not saying it works) - Is this the thing that would split the satellite signal but leave you with only the horizontal or vertical channels but not both?
