If you're NEVER going to be using the two boxes together, or recording on one box and watching on the other, then two of these http://www.freetv.ie/manual-satellite-switch.html (presumably also available from other companies) should work.

Plug a cable from the wall into the middle socket on each switch. Plug a cable from the left socket on each switch into the sky box. Plug a cable from the right socket on each switch into the zgemma box. When the switches are in position A, you can use the sky box. When the switches are in position B, you can use the zgemma box.

If you're going to need both boxes to receive a signal at once, this won't work. You'll need two more cables from the dish. Satellite feeds cannot be split, there are four groups of channels, and the box tells the dish which group it wants. That's why boxes that can record need two cables.
