Stop in for a cup of coffee

My dad had a rotator on our tv antenna where we had a box with a dial and we marked what position each channel came in the clearest... Then when we watched that channel, we rotated the dial to that position and there was an electric motor on the antennae that would rotate it to that position...

I have an antennae on the roof and get 26 channels. No cable or dish for me

Funny you mentioned rotor my antenna is on a rotor and it is not working right just picked up a omni directional antenna plan on putting it up this weekend.
I have a big rooftop antenna. Last I checked, my rotator still works. We have basic Dish and Netflix. Plus my daughter put Hulu and Amazon on...
I do occasionally flip it on antenna. Usually to watch news if a storm knocks out the Dish signal. Been quite a while since I ran the rotator though...
