Well, the only way to get Dish to work on the bedroom TV would be to have the same Dish channel as the lounge TV. Getting two different Dish channels is technically possible but not feasible on your equipment. You would need a larger satellite dish like the Travl’r with multiple LNBs. The small Winegard dishes have only one LNB. Dish puts alternating channels on different satellites - 110 and 119. When you move sequentially through the channels the dish physically moves between satellites.
The larger, folding rooftop dishes are equipped to lock on to both channels at the same time so multiple receivers can be utilized to display different programming on different TVs at the same time.
Many small dome dishes advertise “two outputs” but in reality this works terribly. If the primary tv is watching content on satellite 110 then the second tv can only watch content on that satellite, too. And if the primary tv changes channels this also affects the second TV.
Now, watching OTA channels on one TV while watching satellite tv on the other depends on the connection you are using on the main TV. If you connect the main TV via HDMI then you should be able to watch OTA tv on the bedroom. But, of course, you need to press the cable/ant switch on the cable input to select antenna and power the amplifier for the antenna, select Antenna as the tv source in the tv menu and the search for available channels in the menu as well.
Hope this helps.
