I have the following connector:

My UHF antenna is connected where it is labeled U/V ANT. My HD tuner is connected where it is labeled IN/OUT. I have nothing connected where it is labeled SAT and have no other ins our outs.

I want to connected a second tuners though and thus need a splitter. Wondering if I could simply flip the unit around and have the antenna connect where it is labeled IN/OUT and then use the U/V ANT and SAT connections for my two tuners. This does not work completely however. The tuner connected to U/V ANT worked (and thus answering the question that direction is irrelevant through the connector) but the tuner connected to SAT did not.

I am not terribly surprised as the connector is most likely labeled for a reason. I am curious however what this reason is. Does anyone know what DCPASS means? What is the difference between a UHF signal and one that comes from a Satellite broadcast?
