What are the "modifications" have you done?
To receive a signal from a satellite dish, you must have a receiver for the particular satellite service (DirectTV or DISH) and the two much be connected via an RG6 coax. Then you will need to take the coax (or hdmi) cable that is run from your electronics cabinet to the TV in the living room and connect it to the output of your satellite antenna receiver.
Typically, you will then have to go into the "info" or "mode" selection on your TV and choose which input you want. If you connect to park cable, you should be able to select this on your TV. If you connect to a portable satellite dish outside, you again should be able to select this on your TV. The same holds true for the OTA antenna.
Can you get to the back of your TV? If yes, how many inputs are currently connected to it and what type of cabling?
I hope this isn't confusing more...
