Splitting signal from 1 LNB to two receivers?

Hi all,

I'm trying to find something which someone advised me I need for doing the above...
Basically, I have a USB satellite box (connects to PC to play channels) and an old sky digibox (for freesat). I only have the one old sky dish and cable.
I tried a splitter but when I just connected the box to that it didn't get any signal, without even connecting the usb device as well, just the one cable from the splitter.
I was told I would need to find an 'lnb switch' as I want to be able to switch between the two devices as I've been told only one can work off the lnb at a time.
I'm having trouble finding one on ebay, can anyone point me in the right direction for what I'm searching for?
Many thanks
