They have not changed the polarisation of transmitters, mains are horizontal and repeaters are usually vertical. The aerial you say is a X is probably a cross beam single polarised aerial and in the attached picture is mounted with horizontal polarization.
I have never seen a TV aerial that is both horizontal and vertical because non of the TV transmitters are. Satellite is polarised and the transponders tend to swap polarity at each frequency increment to reduce interference.
