Yes. Multiple channels on the same transponder share the same frequency, 
so that's perfectly OK.

Or watch 1 and record another or 2 or 3. But only if channels are FTA.
So watch/record BBC1 and BBC2 at the same time is no problem. 10773000
Or BBC HD / BBC 1 also works. 10847000

Crypted channels though is a problem, there it doesn't work because of 
access to the CAM is limited to 1 channel
