The CC-7870 is essentially just a 2-way splitter. It will not discriminate between either antenna input. So, if one antenna receives a clean signal and the other antenna receives a reflected version via a multi-path route, you can expect the 'combiner' to mix undesired signal with the desired. Often, you can have more raw power, while actually getting a lower quality signal. Sort of like adding dirty water to clean water... Yes, you have more liquid, but you may not want to drink it.

Your tuner won't be 'poisoned' by low quality signals so feel free to try a reversed splitter. If it works, great. If it doesn't work well, don't be too surprised.
