Has anyone added DISH OR DIRECT TV to this setup? If so do you have a schematic. Thanks to RoyB for the image. Marvin

Many have.. I will give you multiple ways.. I'm saving the best for last
Most will disconnect the PARK CABLE lead from that wall plate, Feed the "TO TV" if your Sat receiver offers one, back to that jack and extend the park cable to the Sat Receiver's LNB jack..
Issues I have with this is often that cable is lowest bidder R-59 Which has many times the loss of quality RG-6 (on the average 4x but it can be much higher if you go low-bi on teh 59 and high bid on th 6)
Second, you no longer can get Park cable without re-wiring
Of course not all Sat Receivers have RF out (TO TV antenna type connection) Many today just have A/V and HDMI IN cases like this you will have to HDMI to the TV
Finally the best
Install a brand new RG-6 (Quality) lead for the LNB feed, HDMI to the TV, Best of all worlds that way.
NOTE: IF the Sat receiver has TO TV and also ANT (not just LNB) you can fe3ed the park cable to the ANT and TO TV back to teh wall plate. Use a new RG-6 Line for the LNB
Now
Wall Switch off Sat off = Park cable
Wall Switch Off Sat on = Sat
Wall Switch ON = OTA Antenna.
To improve OTA performance (One way to get locals) Repalce wall plate with Winegard Sensar Pro and add Wingman to the antenna if not already there.
