Mirroring a main tv output for satellite viewing might work for some, but many of us want each to have it's own selection, especially when two 'tv watchers' don't always agree on 'what to watch' at any given time. I think that's why most of us 'men' want a 'man cave', of sorts. : )
If a single receiver could provide an output to multiple TVs, each with their own remote, and each able to select their own channels, no matter 'which' satellite they reside on, then all of this would probably be a moot discussion. Since each tv needs that 'processor' to give it the channels, this will always be a 'pain' for many, as you have to craft that design the way it fits you the best - and even then, that plan may change 'down the road', especially if you park under those beautiful spacious and shady oak trees, but still want 'satellite tv' from your portable or fixed antenna mounted PERMANENTLY on your roof!

All current ATT genie receivers are RVU servers and many TV sets are RVU capable. RVU technology has been around since 2016.
RVU (pronounced R View) is a software protocol that permits a source, such as a satellite DVR, to send television network programming to your HDTV without a cable. The only wire you’ll need to see your favorite programs on a RVU compatible HDTV is the power cord. The genie 2 (HS-17) manages 15 data streams on the SWM RG-6 cable, seven channels are used to feed the receivers 7 HD channels, 4 are HD channels feeds to individual TVs (via RG-6, wireless or RVU) and two are 4K feeds (2 channels each in the reverse band).
