Hi Tadams2,
The only real option that I know of would be to attach a two way splitter to the end of the cable that attaches to the back of your TV from the satellite box. From there attach two additional cables to the other end of the splitter and to each TV respectively. The only catch here, is that you will have to view the same channel on both televisions. I am doubtful that if you put the splitter before the box that you would be able to properly tune the one TV connected directly from the wall, but it's always worth a try, I suppose. Just be careful in this latter case, as the systems are generally somehow monitored, and this may be detected as an attempt to illegally obtain service, therefore possibly temporarily shutting down your service. They do like you to pay for an additional box in such cases.
Good luck. Take care.

Thomas is almost 100% correct except for the fact that they can monitor your through-put. You will be able to hook both of them up the way he stated with the splitter.

the only down fall is both tvs have to watch the same channel.
