Rotors mean no DVRs can be used. Puts a little bit of a hitch in your giddyup.

What does a rotor have to do with a DVR, the rotor only orients the antenna unles you have found some new use for one!

It would be far easier to follow what you were getting at if you actualy
quoted what you were replying to. google isn't Usenet, the rest of us see
it differently.

And if you need the antenna pointed in this direction for one channel, and
in that direction for another channel, then when you program the DVR to
record something on this channel and then that channel, the antenna
doesn't follow along. One of the channels won't be received, because the
antenna is not pointing the right way.

I have a similar problem with my DTV set. When I use my home made
multi-bowtie antenna, it's directional enough that when aimed for the US
channels, I miss some of the local channels. No problem, I can just shift
the antenna a bit, it's indoors. But, since the tv set doesn't let me
program in the "local channels", I have to do a scan. And it won't get
all the channels because the antenna is too directional. I did solve
that, put a loop on a longer piece of coax, hang the loop from a long
piece of bamboo pole, and stick that out the window. It gets enough
signal in all directions for the scan to get all the channels I'll get,
though some don't actually present a picture with that loop. Then I can
use the bowtie array, aiming it as needed.

You're really asking such a silly question? I have computers recording TV 6 nights a week. You go turning the antenna and the reception goes bye bye. I don't know of any recording software that could re-aim the antenna first. If it were mine, I'd forgo the rotator and use multiple antennas and then jointenna diplexers to make one clean RF feed where all channels are available all the time. A private MATV system.
