Mmm.. the next version of this may truly be deserved of the title Frankenswitch!

I'm thinking of making up a new platform with two motors/switches, controlled from a single USB converter. The second switch would give us more flexibility before next February. That's when the antennas will need to be rearranged, as the analog PBS transmitter goes off-air permanently then.

There's a newer, digital HD, PBS station we can receive in place of that, but only with a different antenna configuration that conflicts somewhat with the existing setup of splitters and combiners.

Mmm.. I wonder if four switches might be even better.. ?
