Easy just split the output of one of your receivers and use existing cable or run a new cable if needed. You will also want to order another remote from DISH or eBay.

For that - you would need an additional receiver. Plus any additional switch needed.

Note that Dish will only lease receivers enough to run 4 TVs; any additional receivers must be bought outright and the customer will be responsible for all installation costs, including any dishes or switches needed to hook up the owned receiver.
Most likely, the OP has a Dish 500 with a DP Plus Twin LNB, which will only run 2 receivers. At minimum, a DPP33 switch would need to be added to get a 3rd connection. A used, owned 301 or 311 should be fairly cheap on eBay or Craigslist, but you need to get the Receiver ID number and call Dish to be sure that the receiver is owned, is no longer active on another account, and doesn't carry any balance, meaning Dish will let you activate that receiver on another account.
