Your are powering off the satellite receiver when attempting to
receive local channels, right?

Can I ask a tv antenna question here?

My satellite service does not include local channels. I have an indoor
antenna that if connected through the satellite receiver gives me very
poor
reception. (Why?) If I connect the antenna directly to the TV, and not
through the receiver, the reception improves dramatically. However, this
requires having to manually connect and disconnect cables all the time.

Can you help?

Thanks.
