You may need an antenna
rotor if the DTV
stations are in different directions. In its simplest form the control unit for these has a knob on a box by the TV that you turn manually to the direction of each station to give the best reception. More sophisticated rotators have a remote-control that is linked to the channel
selector for the TV or set-top box, so when you select a given channel
, the rotator turns the antenna
to the direction that you have previously set it to. Some DTV
sets in the future will be able to control the antenna
rotator automatically using a new control system. Also, a new type of steerable antenna
without any moving parts, referred to as a “Smart Antenna
” can be able controlled by the DTV
set. These are just coming into the marketplace.
