We have one feed to a socket that has 2 sat outputs on the front of it,
so I'll have to look at that later.

Unlike television and radio signals, satellite feeds cannot be
split. Well, they can be split physically but they will then not
work properly. Splitting them upsets the control signals which are
sent to the dish (or the multiswitch in a larger system). At best
one of the receivers will only be able to get roughly a quarter of
the available stations. Hopefully if you take the socket apart you
will find that the cable just goes to one of the outputs.

The way to connect two receivers is to connect the socket to the
first receiver and then use the output connector from that to
connect to the input of the second receiver. Only one will work at
one time, but both will get all the channels.
