"Sat ready" quite often just means the cabling is in place for a roof mounted dish. The outside cable connection can be used by disconnecting it from the antenna booster power supply switch panel and connecting it directly to the coax going to the sat receiver, but running a separate outside coax is a more convenient option once installed.
This is the answer I was going to give, almost word for word.
The difference, I would have said disconnect the incoming coax from the booster, and put a splitter on it. Run one side of the splitter back to the booster. Run the other side of the splitter to the satellite receiver, then to the distribution box or television set. That is what I did. Works fine.
I only have one coax connection outside. If I have camp cable, I hook it up and press "CABLE" on the distribution box. If I am using my satellite antenna, I hook it up and press "SATELLITE" on the distribution box.
Here is a schematic (PP means Power Pass):
