OTA signals via multiswitch

When a DirecTV multiswitch passes an OTA (over-the-air) signal
from an outdoor broadcast TV antenna, does the signal go through
the "sat box" unchanged to the TV receiver? Or does the OTA
signal get down-converted to ch. 3 like the LNB signals?

Does the OTA signal come through the odd or even-channel cable
to the "sat box"?
