I'm no RF guy by any stretch of the imagination but my understanding is
that you'd need one of these options:
1) a rotor to re-point the antenna
2) two antennas and use a cable switch to select one or the other
3) two antennas and a few notch filters to pick out the channels on one
antenna and then a mixer to blend them into the signal of the other
antenna. If you just mix them, you'll end up introducing alot of multipath
noise and you tuner might not reliably find the channel instead of the noise.
