Personally I use linux reciever which gives me all the FTA SKY and FREESAT channels all from one LNB (mind you I do have another LNB on a home made bracket pointing towards hotbird 13E and a DISEQC switch to switch between the two.

A diseqc switch allows the sat reciever to switch between multiple lnb's and uses a signal on the co-ax to activate the switch...

What you need is an auto switch (not sure what you;d call them) that just detects which receiver is on (by the lnb feed voltage) and switches to that reciever automatically.
