Not exactly true - the low noise block downconverter (LNB) on the antenna needs 16-21 volts DC current to power the LNB. Both dish and DirecTV have splitters that are green label that have a red terminal that passes DC current. Just be sure any switch or splitter is labeled to work with a satellite receiver and antenna.
