Anybody using MP with a roof based antenna that has a rotor on it? Basically from my location I can pick up three major cities with my roof top antenna, but I need to change the aim of the antenna when I change stations. The Rotor controls now have a Infrared remote interface on them that you can either enter a channel number (that is then programmed within the unit to a direction) or a direction in degrees. I would like to automatic the movement of the antenna with the change of a channel within the tv server,
so that the antenna is always pointing to the station that I am watching or recording (Lets assume single tuner for now, with dual there would need to be some sort of prioritizing). Is there a way to get the TV server to use a MCE blaster to blast out a number for each channel? Ex if I select channel 9, I would need it to blast 120, whereas channel 4 would be 144, and channel 7 would be 210 (just making numbers up)
Also how do I dead with the no signal timeout. the rotor would at worst case take 60 seconds to move to the correct location.
Any Ideas?
