Antenna and cable are not on the same wire. The on/off button simply works as an A/B switch allowing the signal in each coax cable to be selected.
If you are going to take the wall plate out of the loop and install the VCC you disconnect the coax labeled Antenna and connect it to From Antenna and Disconnect the coax labeled Cable and connect it to From Cable (or just Cable) and you disconnect the coax labeled TV connect this to the To TV 1 or TV 2. You can make the necessary satellite connections and then connect the satellite receivers Out to TV to the From Satellite connection on the VCC.
Now, you may still have a problem as the output to TV from the wall plate is likely sent to all TV's via a splitter somewhere else in the circuit. When you remove the existing wall plate see if you can follow the coax that is connected to the TV port and see if there happens to be a splitter in nearby. If so those feed the other TV's. If not, you would need to see if there is any connection between the other wall plates you mention that send signals to any other TV's. If so then you have your other connections that you can make with the Out to TV2 option from the VCC.
