Clueless and looking for help with Shaw satellite

We just received our Shaw dish, tripod, etc. It came with a "triple satellite quad output switchable xKu LNBF". The instructions say to run one coax cable from the dish to the receiver. If our receiver is in the trailer, do we just run the coax to the satellite input on the panel outside? If we have 2 receivers, do we run 2 cables?

Can you tell I am clueless about this stuff?

On our new Motorhome we have 2 tv sets: Our Shaw dish came exactly
like you say. We ran the cable to the outside TV plug. But we could not get the signal to come through to the tv sets. We tried everything etc. etc. Finally I got P Off and ran 2 cables from the dish. One direct to the receiver to the TV in front of the RV and one cable direct to the receiver to the bedroom TV.
I pushed the cable through an opening where the propane tank is and
through the bottom of a slide for the front TV. Added some fittings to the outside ends for easy hook and unhook ups.

Works like a charm for us. RV is a 2013 Coachman 38 ft.

When I took the RV in for service, they also tried hooking up their Shaw system to the main outside plug, they couldn't get a signal either. They tried everything they could think of. Therefore I am comfortable knowing my system works and if I had a problem I would know were to look.
