Well the best solution might be an LNB with 2 or more outputs.
If you don't have that, you can use a simple coaxial relay. Those are 
special relays controlled by 12 Volts. You can get those 12 Volts from the 
SCART connector of your analog reciever. So when the analog reciever is 
turned on, your DVB-card will not get a signal, but when it's turned off, 
the signal is sent to the DVB-card. Using both at the same time is 
impossible then.
