You will need 1 LNB with dual feed (erplacing your existing LNB).  Then
you
run another wire to node 0 where you then need to install another Sky
box,
who will need a viewing card.  Free to view cards are no longer
required,
but if you want the subscription channels you'll have to ask Sky nicely
and
they can give (you pay for it though) you a 2nd card.

HTH,

Q.
