Yes, it is likely possible.  The issue that that when the rotation
(can) take > 1 minute one needs to adjust a lot of timeouts
in order to make things work, and no one has located and
documented all the places one needs to adjust.  And it is
possible (although, again, undocumented) that some of the
timeouts may simply not be currently exposed (i.e. code
enhancements required).  As an aside, I would be surprised
if "Live TV" worked (well) with such a setup (and channel
surfing would be interesting at a possible over a minute
between channels).
