Patent ID: 8704711

Claim:
A method comprising: identifying, using an antenna associated with a wireless cable device, a remote wireless cable signal source within an environment; performing a coarse tuning process to identify one or more antenna positions in which a wireless cable signal is received from the remote wireless cable signal source by the antenna associated with the wireless cable device, wherein the coarse tuning process comprises rotating a motor at a first speed from a first position to a second position and recording a signal parameter at a plurality of intermediary positions between the first position and the second position, and wherein the coarse tuning process comprises identifying one or more candidate angles at which a signal is received from a remote wireless cable device; and performing a fine tuning process to identify an optimal antenna position for communication with the remote wireless cable signal source, wherein the fine tuning process comprises rotating the motor at a second speed through a plurality of angles from a position corresponding to a candidate angle of the one or more candidate angles identified by the coarse tuning, and wherein the plurality of angles provide an aggregate equal to one step of the rotating the motor between the plurality of intermediary positions at the first speed in the coarse tuning process.
