Once I put the TV into the equation, it just leaves the rear section which is generally easier for me just as closing is generally easier than opening.

Guess being an ME first and EE second I tend to look to mechanical answers rather than jumping right to electrics..
I am confident that there has to be an ME solution for raising all our TMs. Patent it first then let us know !!
