Default Antenna rotator question

Customer wants a complete TV antenna with a rotor installed. I used
to do a lot of these so that's no problem. However the catch is that
depending on where they feel like hanging out he wants to control the
rotor from two different levels of the house.


Many rotators now have IR remote controls. For example:

Put and IR repeater between floors, buy a few spare remote controls,
and you're done.

If you want quality, you'll probably end up with a ham radio type of
rotator, for plenty more dollars.
