Depends on how your installer connected the satellite dish outputs and where/how he installed the receiver(s), as to how to get it on the bedroom TV.

He "should not" (not typically anyway) have connected it to the cable or antenna inputs. As such, you will not use the antenna wall plate with that red button and light. That is solely for antenna/cable*. Pressing that button on activates a selector switch in the wall plate to switch to antenna from cable.

Did you have the installer install a second receiver for the bedroom TV or did you tell him you want to share the living room receiver with the bedroom TV?

Once we know (this community - not me :)), we can take the next step in helping you.

Also, is it Dish or Direct TV and is the receiver a DVR (recorder) or not?

Footnote:
* Unless he in fact did use that wire.
