Front/Bedroom TV

After channel scanning/programing the front TV in our 3010DS, we receive
22 local channels (over the air not cable). When scanning the TV in the bedroom we only get 2 channels. The two TV's are connected to the same roof antenna. Both are Jensen TV's. Only the size is different. Any guess's what might be wrong/where to look. BTY, both worked perfectly last season. Thanks for any help.

I hope one of the smart members on here has an answer, because I have the same issue.

Make sure the amplifier button is on. You will find the little red pushbutton right below your primary TV (probably front. Push it in and rescan.

Also make sure that you are scanning "air" channels and not "cable" channels. Usually on the scan menu you can select one or the other. If its set to cable, you won't find but a couple of channels.

Try all those things...then check for loose connections.

Did it ever work before?
Make sure the air selection switch is depressed on the switcher if you have one installed.
Loose wiring?

I'm headed out on a trip on Saturday and will try again. I don't think I have an amplifier button on my Forester 3151. I do have a switcher and always depress air before I scan the bedroom TV. If someone has a Sunseeker 3050 or Forester 3151 and have an antennae amplifier button then please tell me where it is.

No button on my 2013 3051, at least that I've found. Occasionally my bedroom TV will find 1 or 2 less channels than my front TV, but I can rescan and it usually finds them.

This has been discussed somewhere on here before...but if you have the switch box, the booster is built in. No button on a wall plate. If you do not have the switch box, where the TV plugs in there should be a tiny black button with a green LED light.
