We have an antenna tower with a antenna rotor.
How do I auto program the channels with the rotor in use ?
Every time you start the programming, it wipes the previous channels.

It's going to be the same set of answers you got when you asked this
question a few weeks ago.

Disconnect and optionally remove the rotor. Add a second (or more) antenna
and use a combiner so that your tuner app thinks it's all a single antenna.

I remembered the previous question but didn't realize it was the same
poster. And I remembered the multiple antennal idea, which I thought
was a good one, but I didn't suggest it here because he has a tower. I
figured antennas in his attic couldn't compete with a tower, unless
maybe he pointed the attic antenna to the nearest city and saved the
tower for distant ones. He could do that but I don't think he'll want
to.


He likely could add more antennas to a tower, all attacked on the single
top pole pointed appropriately. Then he would not have to make sure the
antenna is pointed right for every program he wants to record. It sure
worked fine with my attic antennas.

A related issue, with a rotor out there in the weather, how long does a
rotor actually last? Plus it would seem to be a PIA to have to rotate
the antenna and wait when you want to go from channel to channel.
