Unfortunately it is not as easy as just adding a splitter.  Most likely 
you will want a multiswitch.  But in order to watch two separate programs 
you will also need a dual-LNB or more.  You will need to know if your dish 
has a single, dual, or some other configuration LNB.

Hope this helps.  I have done much research on this as my triple LNB dish 
(Directv w/HDTV) has a built-in 4-way multiswitch.
