Are you sure that these actually broadcast at the same time?
Usually transponders are kept apart a few MHz, even if they use different
polarization. Anyway, it should be sufficient to use two different
frequencies with a 1MHz offset in such cases. At a later point VDR will
probably use the NID and TID values, which have to be unique.
