I would say YES!. The cable from the antenna goes to the Splitter first. Connect the left hand output port of the splitter (I think it has a red circle above it) to the power inserter cable, Then connect one of the other outputs from the splitter (if you have more than two) to the cable for the other receiver.

I have my LR receiver and power inserter inside the RV next to the TV. The inserter output cable goes to the cable which ends in the convenience center labeled LV Satellite. My splitter lives in the convenience center. I connect the antenna to it there and it sends the signal to the other receiver inputs.

Here is a picture of how mine is connected.
