Best type of antenna for using with a DVR like a TIVO

I am in the process of moving to a new location. The new location already has an antenna on the side of the home that is about 25 feet tall.

The issue I am having is that one of the main channels doesn't seem to come in but should. I am worried that I will have to put a rotor on the antenna to get that channel. That messes up the ability to use a DVR of some sort. I have a Tivo but I want to build a HTPC with a steaming feed device like the Silicondust HD Homerun device or maybe a dual internal ATSC tuner with XBMC.

If I have to use an antenna rotor, then I won't be able to reliably record using the DVR functions.

Are there any solutions? Can you use 2 antennas for the same feed? The main one for all the channels except for the one that doesn't come in and the other for the problem channel?
