When I was doing this I did the ame as above except I used a TWO port HEAD. This allowed me to run a RG cable to both of the TV locations and watch separate channels. This requires two SAT RCVRs brought along with you.
I would also run the VIDEO OUTPUT of the SAT RCVR to the video input of each TV set. Once setup you can select SAT TV or CABLE/OTA TV by using your remote control.
Worked great for us but after the NATL BROADCAST came out with there digital HDTV we stopped bringing along the SAT RCVR stuff with. Using the OTA BATWING Antenna picked up 6-36 digital High Def TV from the local towns just about everywhere we went here on the east side of the USA. Using the OTA BATWING Antenna keeps us from worrying about someone running off with our SAT DISH.
HIGH DEF HDTV for free is much better viewing than the SAt TV was giving us. We mostly like to watch the national broadcast local channels anyway. Occasionally we will downstream a cable TV station on the internet if we really want to watch something on it.
OTA BATWING antenna works great for us watching NCIS and HAWAII 5-O and local town RADAR weather conditions when camping off the power grid... What more do you want to watch haha...
