You have a satellite on your roof???:E
Sorry, sometimes I just can't help my self.
Ok, maybe this will help. I had Safari Simba, much like (if not almost identical) to your La Palma and it was equipped with a switching unit located in the electronics cabinet above the driver. I assume you also have one. It's been a while and I hope I can remember the connections and labels, but yes, to make your flat screen work off of the sat antenna, look on the front of the switch box under/over the label for Front TV, for the rg6 cable that is attached to the SAT 1 output. It should run through the cabinet wall over to your front tv. That cable should be connected to your flat screen's SAT In connector. Of course you will need 120v power too!
The switch box will allow switching between several inputs (OTA antenna, DVR, SAT Antenna) and will provide outputs to each of the two tv's.
It can be confusing. Just make sure the button on the switch unit is labeled SAT for the front tv.
Hope this helps..
