Need some help

I'd like to add satellite service to the moho. I want to use a portable dish (Dish 300 or 500 or what other dish leaning toward Dish Network service). So here's what I have.

1. A single RG-6 running from cable input at rear of coach to front cabinet where distribution box is located.

2. A single RG-6 runiing from the off-air antenna (batwing) in the roof to the same cabinet where the distribution box is located.

3. Two seperate RG-6 cables one going to front tv and second cable going to rear tv.

I would like to remove the distribution box if at all possible so what will I need to make both tv's work on both satellite and off-air antenna. I guess what is confusing me the most is the dish itself has a dual lnb and all the wirirng diagrams show two (2) cables coming off of the dish but if I only have an input that has a single hook-up what do I need to do there? Can I run both tv's off of one side of the lnb and use two (2) receivers? I see there are diplexers offered and multiswitches but again most wiring diagrams are showing two incoming lines from the dish. If anyone can post a wiring diagram that would be great. Thanks!!!

HD is not important.
