I have this setup at my home.  TV #1 is in my den, TV2 is in my workshop.

You will need two (2) additional cables, long enough to go from your receiver to the two TVs.  You will also need a two-way signal splitter - about $5 at Home Depot.

Look for the "out to TV" connection on the satellite receiver (a cable should be connected from the receiver to your Television).

Unhook this cable from the TV, and plug it into the "Input" jack on the signal splitter.  Then connect the two new cables to the output jacks on the splitter and run them to the two televisions.

Both TVs will get the same programming.
