How do I connect a new Direct TV DVR receiver? Can I use a splitter or connect it...

...directly to the dish? I purchased another DVR receiver from ebay for a bedroom in my house that was not set up for Direct TV when we first had in installed. It does not have any balances and I am free to use it except I can't find any clear answers on how exactly to set it up. Someone told me I could get a splitter but they weren't sure. Someone also told me I might be able to hook it up directly from the dish since I only have one receiver connected. The guy at home Depot said I could not connect it because my dish was only "programmed" for one TV. I'm so confused and I need help. Thanks to anyone that might be able to help or point me in the right direction.
