So I'm coming to the conclusion that "whatever" TV aerials I have are quite possibly directly connected to the tuner.
What's more I've already measured a 10V output on the tuners aerial sockets so they "may" be powered/amplified.
All of which leads me to wonder if I can actually use the diversity box to feed my new DVB-T tuner. It will need some power to run it though, maybe I can put that in through the radio aerial lead that I don't need?
I feel some bench-testing coming on. 
Unless someone here knows the answer?
