Directv over the air input

I have a 2015 Winnebago Sightseer. Use Directv with Winnegard Traveler. Have a DVR with OTA input. Anyone know where I find a cable to connect the Jack antenna directly to the DVR?. The DVR and satellite connections are in the compartment above the driver seat.

    Is it a DirecTV DVR? If so Direct has a device, AM-21, that feeds OTA signals into the DVR where they are integrated with the Guide. Thus you have satellite AND OTA channels on your guide and record to-do list. Works well. Hope this helps.
    What he said. You need the An-21N. I have one in the RV and home. Great for recording junk from METV and Retro TV.

    As he said "Wal*Mart" the OTA input is standard Coxial Cable RG-59 or RG-6 standard F-Connector.

    If you have a matrix switch (Box of many Buttons) take the AUX out on the matrix switch to the OTA in on the DVR/Receiver, (Or you can use the VCR lead as well)

    Thanks. I meant a cable connection from the Jack.
