No, it hasn't been that way for a long time.  For both diseqc and old,
analog cards, a separate, parent input needs to be setup for each,
distinct, use case (satellite for diseqc and physical input for
analog).  Special, "device", input groups are automatically setup for
each case to prevent them from being used at the same time.
