HDTV antenna signal

I have a question about the HDTV antenna signal. Our unit came with the Winegard 360 plus. (Omni directional/4g LTE/WiFi). From my understanding, the unit will send antenna signal to TV when power button on plate is on. When off, cable signal (if present) will be sent. My question is there are cable outlets in the bunkhouse and the outdoor kitchen of the trailer. If TV is connected to the outlets in those locations, will they receive the OTA antenna signal (when power turned on) and cable signal?

If in fact they will not receive OTA signal, if I purchased an aftermarket HDTV powered antenna and connected it to the cable input for trailer - then theoretically they would then get the OTA signal from that antenna?

I do not have a cable tester and wanted to make sure the setup would work before I purchased additional TVs. Thanks in advance.

My bedroom tv would get OTA signals as long as the booster button was on.
BUT it would not receive cable signal, only the main tv.
I had to pull the wall plates off and check each cable out.
There was only one coax cable from the outside cable connection. I had to add a splitter so I could connect main tv and bedroom tv to the outside cable feed.
By the way, there is no such thing as a HDTV antenna, it's a marketing scam. Even Rabbit ear antennas can get an HD tv signal. It's the tv that has to be HD, to have a HD pic, not the antenna.
