Greetings! Thank you for your question. Yes, you sure can use this antenna with a satellite dish. Below is a bit of information. You will use these tips depending on whether you have an older dish or a newer one. Hope this helps! 1. Newer cable and satellite systems require a "set-top box" to be used on each TV in your home. Those boxes should be connected to the TV via an HDMI cable, unless it's a really old setup (see #2 below). If your cable/satellite is set up with an HDMI cable, then the coax input (“ANT IN”) on the back of your TV is available for use to connect an antenna directly to the TV. You will need to run a channel scan on the antenna signal. Then you simply switch between inputs, antenna and cable/satellite. 2. When using an older cable/satellite equipment without a set-top box, the antenna will require a direct coaxial cable connection. The set up becomes more complicated since the antenna will have to share the single input with another source. The easiest and most effective way to set up an antenna alongside your paid service will be for you to use an A-B switch (available on Amazon) to change the signal from cable/satellite to the antenna. A second option would be to manually swap the cables when you need to use the antenna, and you will need to scan for channels when you connect the antenna.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Unfortunately, I don’t have a dish tv. I have a Roku 55 inch tv with no cable service and my Mohu antenna which gets me over 130 channels.
