I used our 'satellite prep' for the first time this weekend. I don't think I'll completely answer your question, but to get it to work we did the following.

1) hooked up our coax to the 'satellite' box on the camp site.
2) hooked up our coax to the 'satellite prep' connection on the camper
3) TV set to input = TV
4) Scan channels... TV had to know that the 'satellite' signal coming in on channel 3 was analog and not digital. Before scanning I just tuned to channel 3 and had very noisey video with static audio. After channel scan when the TV understood channel 3 was analog it all worked properly.

To possibly address your question, it seems to me that the 'satellite prep' would also work for cable, but the signal has to be stronger than over the air reception (so definitely need booster off).
