Question REV Satellite Cable

I just recently purchased a 2016 REV (enjoying immensely!). And, I have a DISH Tailgater satellite system for watching TV where the on air antenna doesn't work. My question is: where does the exterior "Cable/Satellite" termination end up in the cabin? I need to terminate that cable in the receiver for the DISH system, then route that output to at least one of the two TV's installed in the coach...

So is there a single exterior cable connector, or two exterior connectors with one marked "cable" and one marked "satellite"?

Just one cable, termination marked "cable/satellite"... weird since cable normally goes straight to TV ans satellite needs to go to a receiver then to TV.

I'm not familiar with the cable wiring of the Rev, but have worked on Sunseeker models. In the Sunseeker there is a satellite jack inside one of the cabinets, and that cable terminates on the roof (not much help for a Tailgater). The cable input on the side of the coach likely goes to an antenna booster with an on/off button switch and a single connection jack, with off being cable and on being OTA antenna. If this is your setup, then the current wiring on the side of the coach will not support satellite without modification. See this discussion thread:
