Has anyone tried a clip on antenna to dish?

Has anyone tried an antenna that clips onto existing satellite dish? I found one online at Radio Shack.
Looks like it simply clips onto the dish, then the satellite cables run through this clip on antenna, and then output through the clip-on to my reciever. At the reciever, you have to use a diplexer to split the signal. Anyone know if this works?

Sure it works...
only the OTA broadcast towers are in the same direction that your dish is aimed.

A "traditional" antenna will provide better performance and can connect in the same fashion.
