Need satellite help !

Sorry guys if I have caused confusion. Maybe I can make it a little clearer.

I use Direct TV service and will use one of the receivers out of my house. It is a HD 24.

I only want standard definition in the motorhome. Do not want HD.
I will use only one receiver. I understand that I will only be able to watch the same programming on both TVs when using satellite. Thats fine.

This is a brand new rig so I have never attempted to do one thing as far as for as changing from cable to over/air. Simply switched TVs on one time just to see if they would turn on. Thats it.

Will not be using the roof satellite wiring so am not interested in that.

As I attempted to state above my goal is to be able to pull into a campground and hook up their cable service and also set up the satellite and hook it up also so that I can use either of them or the over/air without going out and connecting and disconnecting. The connection for the cable is already there. I will need to install one for the coax from the Carryout to hook to and the wiring to get it up to the receiver in the entertainment center.

Once I have done that I know I can change back and forth from Cable to over the air by turning th amplifier of and on. Just need to know how i can incorporate the satellite receiver into the mix so that I can switch to it if I desire---again with out connecting and disconnecting coax cables each time. Is it possible or am I dreaming?

Thank you guys very much for your responses and I apologize for the confusion.

Once you get a new cable run (no diplexer if you want to be able to hook up to both cable and satellite at the same time) then you need to work on the H24 output (assume not an HR24 DVR). You need a coax output to send the signal to both TV's and use the existing wiring. That is not an option with the H24 as it assumes you want HD. So, you just need to buy an RF Modulator and connect the Red/White/Yellow RCA connectors to the receiver and a short coax jumper from the RF Modulator to the Winegard wall plate that has the OTA power button. This plate not only provides power to the OTA antenna, but it works as a switch between OTA and cable (on is OTA, off you get cable) AND it is the device that sends either of those signals to both TV's. So, if you remove the wall plate you will find a coax connection labeled antenna (coax to/from OTA antenna), a connection labeled cable (the existing coax from your outside cable connection) and a third connection labeled TV. This is the coax that sends those signals to the TV's. Now, buy a good A/B switch and get another short coax jumper cable and you can have either the existing OTA/Cable sent to both TV's or hit the A/B switch and send the satellite signal to both TV's. The wiring is pretty simple and if this sounds like the solution you are looking for let me know and I will describe it for you. I think someone did a drawing for it on this site in the past but I don't know how you would do a search to find it. I prefer, and recommend the Radio Shack High-Isolation A/B switch but not sure if they are still available these days.
