yes, we did not have one of those but I remember folks who did (or one like it). The antenna on the roof or chimney could be rotated to get better reception depending on what TV channel you wanted to watch. The controller dial was rotated to align the antenna with the compass direction noted on the dial.

Cheers,
Bob
