two receivers, one RG6 Can't Post

Just had an HD upgrade. He installed the new 5 LNB dish and the H20 receiver. I still want to use my original (non HD) receiver on another TV. I told direct TV this so they left it active. The installer left in a hurry after he got my HD setup running and said just connect your old receiver to the other RG6 cable (there are 2 cables from the dish). Well the problem is after he left I discovered that one of the RG6 cables is dead. It is buried in the ground and I determined that it goes dead somewhere under my driveway.
Is there a way to run both receivers on the one good RG6??? In the spring I plan to run 2 new cables, but because they run under my driveway this is a major job that I would rather not get into now with winter coming. Is there an alternative in the meantime?
Thanks

Are you sure the wire is dead ? Could it just be a bad connector on the rg-6 ?
Are you sure it is connected to the lnb in the new dish ?

Did the rg-6 work before the new installation?
Call Directv and tell them the installation was not done to your satisfaction and needs to be corrected.
