Antennae power booster

We are new members of the Jayco family- We are new owners of an 07 Eagle 341RLQS- I can't find the power booster button for the antennae booster- I'm sure it's in plain site but this unit is very different than our old Montana- There doesn't seem to be a power booster in the bedroom close to the bedroom tv area- The only outlet I see does not have a power booster button or light- PLEASE help me make the other half happy! Your assistance appreciated- Don

Mine does not have one either Don... IF memory serves me right the one for the main TV does not affect the tv in the bedroom.... but I never use the roof top antenna.. I have a Yagi that goes up beside the RV when I am at one place for more than a few days..

They sure hid mine well also, I found it under the stereo way in the back. Have to get down on the floor and reach way back to push the button. If I an using the antenna, I usually leave it on till we pack up to leave.

Look for the 12V outlet and it has to be there.

Mine is inside the fireplace and behind the tv. On our Montana it was in the bedroom.

OK- I guess I'll just keep looking in unusual places- We use the Wineguard over the air antennae a lot when I choose not to set up the Dish- I'll post again when and if I solve the mystery- THANX for the replies- Don

Just to get off subject a tad, but I have a analog TV and added a digital box which works great for the number of limited channels we get in Yuma AZ. I have also bought a LCD Vizio TV for the master bedroom but for some reason it does not work and says No Signal. Is there a trick I am missing? I tried it both with the booster button on and off but no luck and I don't think I need to add another digital box as this TV is digital. I probably should have posted this on the tech forum and if a Mod wishes to move it, well.............

Are you doing a "re-scan" when you get to your new location? The digital channels are different that what you are used to on analog. Channel 13 in one city may be on a different frequency in another city so the TV has to go through the motions of finding them.

I can't seem to find how to re-scan. I do know that I am getting a signal as I see a fuzzy Mexican program on channel 3.

Another user selected option is whether you have cable or antenna.

You need to get the manual or figure out how to set it up on the tv menu.

Usually the booster is on when using the antenna and off for cable.

Thanks everyone. I was able to download the manual and found that the TV was on cable rather than antenna and once I figured it out I was able to scan and now I can watch TV in bed.

That's the kind of problem that will not return.
