At first blush it looks possible if you have an isolator somewhere in
the tx lines of each device you're willing/able to suffer some
performance degradation.
A lot depends on the actual frequencies power involved.
How the node is configured for antenna ports would also play in.

My bet is that RF ingress will continue to cause CATV problems only now it

That's a good question, after all of us got use to the channel 2

Agreed :)
The larger culprit locally, at least in my part of SW Idaho, is leakage from
commercial power transmission...
Ingress on an analog carrier from digital OTA tends to have a very
intermittent C/NR reading... Our standard JDSU DSAM3600 meter has a
difficult time detecting it as it's

As a Sony, LG, Samsung Dealer I can tell you none of these have a current
high End' Model HDTV tuner box. Was a different story a couple of years ago
when no one was really looking for a tuner, and we still sold a ton of them.
Have not been any replacements for a while. YMMV.
