I had a friend here, who installed a largish antenna + rotor on a tall tower for television reception. In his location, half the channels where one way, and the other half were about 90 degrees rotation from there.

His rotor master box used a hand-held IR remote control to directly dial in degree settings.. so we wired up an IR blaster (IR LED connected to a serial port) on his Myth box so that Myth could automatically rotate the antenna as needed.

Very cool.
