Use diplexers to piggy back OTA signal on the satellite coax to TV. OTA signal can connect to TV coax input.
Diplexers are no longer usable since both DISH's and DIRECTV 's modern whole home systems as they now use OTA frequencies for their own use. You will need to run a separate coax for the OTA signals unless you have a much older DISH system.

Stations close to me 8.1-2 (VHF), 19.1-4 and 39.1-2 (UHF) reception drops out frequently.
You'd probably be better off in the long run if you install a small, dedicated U/High-VHF antenna (or re-purpose the existing 8-bay in that direction while adding the large combo for Memphis) aimed off to the southwest and then order a custom signal combiner that will insert those three channels to the main signal with minimal insertion loss and potential for interference.
