...I imagine he is referring to 'splitting' the signal output of the receiver to several TVs, not that the receiver itself is capable of providing multiple signals, as they are not. But, the caveat is also that every TV will also be watching exactly the same thing at the same time... only the primary TV/receiver will be able to change channels.

...if you want each TV to have the option of watching 'what they want' individually, you would have to either a separate portable antenna for each, and each would have to have it's own receiver, or you would have to use a 'home style' manual open-faced antenna, on a tripod or such, to drive up to three separate receivers/TVs individually.
Some portable antennas can also give two outputs, to two receivers, but the second receiver is limited to only different channels on a single Satellite, not all three satellites like the primary receiver has access to, but it can work for some folks.

some coaches have the 'bomb'(box of many buttons) to provide TV signal outputs to each TV separately, and may have a 'Satellite' input, and that may push the signal to each TV, but it would be in SD, even if the receiver was receiving an HD channel signal, as the coax connection can not provide that.

These setups can get a little complicated, depending on what you want to 'do' when watching TV. Because there are really several choices when it comes to the type of tv watching many RVrs want to do, the manufacturers have to find a 'middle ground' and give each 'some' type of reasonable outcome, though it's often something you have to make modifications or changes to, in order to satisfy your RVing style.
