Steve, I figured the HVR-3000 card would drive the DC power and clash with
the Sky box. Maybe this is not he case?
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.

My electronics background tells me this is not a good idea. If you tried it
and the smoke didn't come out, then lucky you.
I would not recommend this to the list. Someone is bound to have a
configuration one day that generates smoke!
