to an upstream exclusive access device (which means it can only be tuned to
one channel or a subset of channels which is excluded from the other inputs
connected to the device). I mentioned antenna because I seem to recall one
user used input groups to solve the "antenna on a rotator" problem where
only certain channels could be received in a particular direction.
