I've just checked the aerial sockets on the tuner and as soon as the RNS is turned on there is +10V on the central connector of each socket.
Most systems use 5V though so not sure of the implications of this.

While delving around I totally removed the tuner and will have a look inside - maybe I can remove the sockets from there (they're useless in situ) and use them for a DIY adapter?
Edit: Not in any practical way, they're rather too integrated into a metal-caged unit that has no obvious way of removal or entry.
