Here in British West Oxfordshire, I'm currently receiving Freeview from Oxford. My UHF RF daisy chain to the kitchen TV is:
Ch 22 - Sky
Ch 28 - VCR
Ch 40 - DVR
There doesn't seem to be any mutual interference at present; however, although plans for Ch 29 (currently Mux D) are uncertain after 14 Sep 2011, I will perhaps have to retune the DVR to Ch 25 to keep it well out of the Freeview band from Oxford.
But with harmonics, intermodulation and other effects, there are bound to be some unexpected surprises lurking....
