It can be an issue if one device wants horizontal and one wants vertical -
horizontal will be the polarity chosen. That's what happens now with Sky on
V and Freeview on H (though it seems to me that it's still better have
Freeview with the potential to screw up a simultaneous Sky recording than to
not have Freeview). But once Sky switch to H on Tuesday morning both will be
the same anyway so it would only be an issue if you were using some vertical
polarity DVB channel (i.e. non-Freeview). AFAIK it shouldn't be a problem to
have two devices both driving the voltage that selects horizontal through a
multi-power-pass splitter. I was wondering if you'd heard something
different.
