Say if you live somewhere on the Channel Islands region, and you buy either an IDTV, a box or recoder with DVB-T2 Freeview HD, is it possible and practical to diplex two aerials into one so that you can recieve all 18 channels from Fremont transmitter + all the unencrypted French TV channels?

Furthermore, would a DVB-T2 reciever be backwards compatible with French terrestrial HDTV (which uses the older DVB-T MPEG-4 standard rather than our newer DVB-T2)?
