Hi You really wouldn't need to power down the receiver if you wanted to use signals off of the air. You could hit the tv/sat button.

One of the jacks is the mane output which goes in to your TV. The other cable jack is the antenna input jack. This jack will let a signal pass directly to your TV, but you have to power down your dish receiver in order for the signal to pass through to your TV. Where the cable line is, this is where you will put the converter. Between the cable line and the dish receiver. My best regards.
