They (Dish or DirectTV) installers have a special splitter that allows you to do this. We have one of those at our house, but we had our system installed ‘professionally’ so, I don’t know where the installers got their splitter.
You could look up Dish installers on Google/Yellow Pages and ask them, or (I’m guessing) Radio Shack might have one of them.

If u have a satellite box..u can run the regular cable coax to the same satellite box. and hook it into the back the satellite box that says cable in..u can turn off the satellite box and have your regular cable stations. Turn your satellite box on and you’ll have satellite service. there’s no splitter that allows you to combine both in one line…hope this helps

u can get what we call a diplexer, u will need 2. it looks like a 2 way splitter, put ur satellite in the one that says dc pass (might have a line on it) and cable or ant on the other end, the single end of the diplexer will be the line running towards ur tv. ..then at the tv remove the satellite line from box and put in single end of another diplexer. the dc pass end will go to sat in on satellite box and the other end will go to ant in on sat box. just turn off sat box and it will switch to cable/antenna. u can get these at best buy/ circut city
