Surely if Sky stay on V and FreeView is on H, dual LNB (or a dual ported
LNB) is the only workable solution?
1. Splitter with all ports power pass - can't record both FreeView and Sky
at the same time, presumably.
2. Splitter with Sky controlling polarization - can't record FreeView at
all.
3. 2 dishes - expense and hassle of installing a second dish.
