The dish cable is compatible with OTA TV signals... But you would be safe to presume the rest of the satellite system parts will need to be disconnected completly to let the OTA signals pass.

I'd suggest the Winegard HD7694P or Antennacraft HBU-33 pointed at about 220° per a compass.

If driving only one or two TVs, no amplifier should be needed.
