Did you go to the TV menu to set it up for the antenna and then scan for new channels?

You do have a converter for each TV?

I spliced the signal from my antenna and ran a line back to the bedroom. The signal is just barely enough to power both TV's so I am adding an amplified splitter to mine. I put one in the house and it works great. Sadly, FR doesn't include the coax back to the second TV in the bedroom from the main TV. I sure wish they would.

You may need to install the TV Antenna amplifier between the antenna cable and the two TV's

Correct.

I don't have a converter for either tv and yes I tried the scanning for new channels

The tv jacks are factory installed where would the amplifier go ?

I would start at the TV following the coaxial cable back to the amp switch. Sounds like a connection is loose or not connected. This is often a tedious task but it should yield positive results. And, don't rule out a bad cable, the use of a jumper coaxial is handy. Attached dia. it the amp switch, normally located below the TV. All on mine were loose. It happens....

I took my camper out over the weekend with the amp installed and still no signal. You can't clear up nothing I guess. When I got home on Sunday, I removed the plug and found that all three of the connections behind the plug (as shown above) were loose. I tightened those up and the picture did come in better. I also observed that they used quality connectors this time where in my last camper they used the cheapest thing they could find. I'm still not convinced that the antenna on my camper is junk but I will try it again next trip out (works find at home).

When I unplug the amp the picture does pixel-ate now. Maybe the combination of tightening the connectors and the amp did the trick. Time will tell.

As a backup I bought a MOHU leaf antenna so will try that too if I need to. I have a whole house MOHU installed and that thing is awesome.

Have you turned on the roof antenna?

Your selector wallplate may still be on cable.

Toggle (press) the black button until the green power light comes on.

The roof antenna needs power to run the amplifier that is located in the antenna itself.


Light ON -> ROOF
Light OFF -> CABLE
