Satellite Receiver Hookup

[what1not]

Hi Everyone,

I have a '87 PT40 and I am looking at adding a portable satellite
dish to my setup.

A couple of questions:

1. Can you bring the satellite signal through the cable input switch
to the satellite receiver?

2. I understand that there is power going to the dish from the
satellite receiver and that there is an issue with the amplifier for
the regular antenna which somehow do not allow the satellite and
reciever to properly communicate. If I can't go through the A C
switch in the coach can I split the cable input to the switch and
then go directly to the satellite receiver when not using a cable
setup?

Any other info is greatly appreciated!
