Eliminating the distribution center making in un-useful. Then I have to start switching cables for off air or cable.
No, you cannot use any kind of splitter (like the dist. center) for the satellite TV input. You can take the OUTPUT from a receiver to the dist. center but all satellite coax lines either need to run directly to a receiver or to a SWM specific splitter and then to the receiver(s).
Emailed Winegard and the said basicly the same thing without as much detail.
antenna->power inserter->receiver->distribution center->TV's.
But with HDMI connections on the receivers I am kinda screwed for the second TV anyway. Looks like I am going to have to loose the distribution center and put in some A-B boxes or change cables around for my usage. Problem is the dist. center has the amplifier for the off air antenna.
I have an hdmi 1-in-2-out. It's a small powered box that lets me take the hdmi output from the receiver, split it, and then I run separate hdmi cables to each tv. It eliminates all the overhead of trying to put something else on the coax.
