On DirecTV there are 3 different types of antennas (Dishes)
Single: One antenna, one receiver
Dual: One antenna, As many receivers as you want using the proper switch (Well up to 8 as far as I know if you need more than that in an RV you are strange or a TV producer).
NOTE: DUAL means one Lens, 2 outputs.
SWM or other HD antenns: See Dual.
That simple.
Dishnetwork it is a bit more complex
Domes: One per receiver
DISH: (The antenna matching your service, should be a "Triple" with dual out) see "DUAL" above.
