Are you also installing the dishes? Do you know how to run the lines from the dishes if are you installing them? Since you said you are without a cable box, does this mean that you also have basic cable with your satellite service? What kind of TVs are these? What kind of boxes are these? Did you want to record with the VCR?

Are you hooking up 2 dishes for yourself and a rental or separate billing? Because you do not need 2 dishes if it is for 1 residents you just need 1 dish w/a dual LNB (little receiver at end of arm on dish)

This is true, but it depends on the provider and the type of service which you desire. In some cases 2 dishes may be necessary and more than a dual LNB may also be required.
