Short answer... NO. but there is a longer answer.
Insider your rig is one of two switches.. One is a box of many buttons, it has buttons for "SAT/DVR (or Vcr)? DVD (or Blue Ray) ANT, CABLE and AUX and these are grouped for TV-1, TV-2, TV-3 and VCR/DVR more than likely.
OR you have a wall plate, Switch, Light, 12 volt outlet and antenna connection.
Now the issues.
On the park-cable-TV jack you are asking about odds are the cable is low cost RG-59 Very high loss at sat frequencies but.. If it's short enough it might not degrade things too much. It runs to the BACK of the switch described above (Center on the wall plate, if it has 3, left center if it's 4)
You must disconnect it from the switch and route it (or extend it) to the Sat receiver.
What I recommend is putting in a dedicated brand new RG-6 line for the sat receiver and leave the park cable .... for when you have park cable.
