Also the back of the Directv box also has the RCA plugs as does the Winegard unit.
If that's any help.

Cable from Sat Ant to receiver input, cable from receiver output to switch bot Sat. Set channel out on receiver set same channel on TV. Press Sat on switch box to TV in use. Plug in receiver, turn on receiver, turn on TV. Got to setup screen on Sat receiver and key your type of ant. You will need a service provider and sometimes this takes a call even with a new program card. If you just using a receiver from in the house that is already working then just go through the setup and you should be good to go.

First you need a direct cable from Sat antenna to Sat receiver box, no splitters or any other device. Satellite receiver output( either coax or rca cables) to Winegard box Sat IN, Main TV cable from to TV1 from Winegard box to your TV. Press the Sat Button (main TV) on Winegard box. TV set to Channel 3, Sat Receiver set to output to channel 3. Power up Satellite receiver box, power up TV on Channel 3. Wait for Sat box to boot up, go to menu and setup on Sat Box and choose the proper antenna. complete setup on Satellite receiver box and wait for Satelliter receiver to acquire signals and update. Without knowing what kind of antenna you have and the model number of yur Satellite receiver that is all I can provide. Good luck.
