Yes, this is what I found when MythTV scanned. I guess it doesn't matter if
you've got a box which can only tune one channel. But it's a problem for
anyone using a splitter with a single LNB.

It's probably not final though - those are definitely Sky transponders, and
at least in the case of 12519 the same signal is on both V and H.

Btw, does anyone know who was supposed to get the V transponders Sky are
currently using?

Cheers,
Steve
