My dish has a multiplexor built-in, so that it could feed two receivers independently if it needs to. It has four plugs on it, two for each receiver.

You could just replacce the dish with one that has four plugs on it, and run the second set of wires to another receiver in the upstairs room. That's the easiest since it allows full independent control of both receivers with the factory remote.
