From the receiver to the TVs, you can do whatever you want. The signals from and to a satellitedish and from an OTA antenna or park cable are completely different animals. Now let the fight begin!
The only fight would be that all of those signals are actually the same. They all need to get from point A to "the correct" point B. Whether I send an OTA signal a Cable signal or a Satellite signal over the same coax they all work exactly the same as long as the the thing on the other end is capable of decoding the signal being sent. Using a good quality, high isolation, A/B switch will have no degradation of signal whether you connect cable or satellite and the OTA situation doesn't change as it is a separate circuit (which goes through that wall plate a/b switch by default).
