another digital tv question

We have two digital converter boxes, one in lr one in br.

We need to use a splitter so we can use both boxes. My problem is, on the splitter package it says do not hook it up before a cable box or satellite tv receiver it is supposed to be after. Does anyone know why? Right now it is hooked up like this, antenna into converter box, then to dvd, then to the satellite receiver, splitter, then to the tv. It comes in great, but then when you try the br tv, you are getting the same station as the lr. You cannot change channels, the converter does not respond to the remote. You have to watch the same thing. Would I dare to put the splitter right after the converter box? I don't know why it says to put it after the satellite receiver. I wish I didn't have to do all this, since we do have a dish but they do not offer local channels. Hope someone can help.
