Now there is one more thing you need to know....
Domes can be "Single LNB" or "Dual LNB" (NOTE: A dual lnb is still one lens one satellite, Two lenses (And thus two sats) is called a TWIN
A single LNB can not only see just one satellite at a time.. It also can only see either ODD or EVEN transponders.
A dual can see both odd and even, it will also (usually) have two output ports, one for each tuner. Or it will be "Stacked" (Mine is "Stacked" which is another name for "Frequency domain multiplxing"
ODD is translated to one set of frequencies.. EVEN to another and a box called a "DeStacker" in the motor home translates ONE of those frequencies back to the other on request. Very simple to hook up, Very hard to describe Works great
Nothin adds excitment like something that is none of your business

Yep, dual LNB with dual outputs and two cables run to the receivers, if you want to use both of them. KingDome offers no stacking options to allow a single cable, I already asked them that.

Thats weird - we have a 9762 as well and we have a single cable running from the dome into the RV and then the de-stacker inside the MH and that then feeds the 2 receiver DVR - works fine on recording 2 channels concurrently.
I know that's right because I installed it.

I'd like to hear more about this. Can you give any more details? What destacker are you using? How exactly is it all cabled up? What receiver? Dish or Direct?
So many questions... 
I helped you figure out your electical questions yesterday, now it's your chance to help me!

WE have DirecTv DVR. I ran the Main and Aux. cables from the King Dome 9762 to our Sat. Rec. Had to set the DVR for a Duel LMB. So we can record 2 differnt programs at one time, or watch one and record the other.
No destacker required.

Correct, because you ran two cables. stevelv is apparently driving two tuners with only one cable. That requires some extra work.
At home, I'm driving both tuners of my two Dish Network DVRs with one cable each. That's because the dish has Dish Pro Plus LNBs that have the stacker built in, and the receivers have the corresponding destacker built in. The folks at KingDome say they do not have a Dish Pro Plus compatible LNB that would allow me to use the receiver's built in destacker.
So I'm curious how stevelv did it with just one cable.

OK, the dome has 2 connectors labelled Aux and Main and a single coax goes from the AUX connector (no idea why it doesn't go from Main) and enters the coach. The single coax then enters a black tuner box that connects to the LCD control panel and a single coax leaves this and enters the destacker (NAS SCD 1UT2) and this has 2 coaxes that run through to the 2 inputs on the DVR.
We have DirecTV and we get programming from 101 and 119 which includes the original HD channel lineup on 119 - any 2 channels from the same satellite can be watched/recorded. We also have the DNS service.
When I received the DVR, DirecTV also sent me 2 small inline boxes called "B Band Converter for Ka band upconversion" - never used them and no idea what they are for (certainly they are NOT for the new Ku band satellites).
