IMO this worked very well, we never had a problem with any of it.

I recently roof-mounted a Winegard G3 & added DISH Wally in my RV.
Now, although the Winegard supports two Wally’s, I chose to have just the 1 Wally & connect the main HDMI to a 3-way HDMI splitter.
Then those 6’, 12’ & 25’ HDMI cables were routed thru walls and cabinets to the 3 Seiki TVs.
So, in this set-up...all three TVs see the same DISH satellite channel.
But, like you said...you can use one or more TVs on the antenna for local channels (or wired for a separate DVR at each TV location).
By the way...in my home I just switched from ATT Uverse to DISH. And I just love the DISH features, makes ATT look vintage old-school.
Plus, I save about $40/mo with more programming.
The Winegard G3 works great, and has a 20% larger dish than previous models.
And, if the channel I change to is on a different satellite...the delay is less than 2-3 seconds for a perfectly clear HD image.
