TV antenna power?

[EJM4]

We're in a wooded area and no sat signal. Went to flip on the booster for the over air antenna and no lights.

Does anyone know where the fuse may be or I'd it even has a fuse.

Did you turn in the switch in the entertainment center?

2013 Columbus - not sure if this is the same issue but we had a problem with the TV losing signal when we turned on lights. Our service provider advised that he had heard of this and the solution was to replace the LED lights with halogen. After 2 1/2 - 3 months of back and forth with Forest River they agreed to replace the lights. No loss of signal issues since. The Halogen however have dramatically shorter life than the LEDs so stock up on bulbs.

Not a expert on lighting but that is strange. Not doubting you because it worked and glad it did. I hope someone chimes in to explain why the LED would interfere.

Guys, I think the OP is saying that the light did turn on on the booster plate when he pushes in the button. Nothing to do with his RV lighting.

It looks as though the light does not come on and asking where the source of DC is. If thats the case it comes from the elec dist panel, 12volt fuses marked maybe CS forward or entertainment. If no fuses out could be the amp is bad.

The other thread about LED lights can cause EFI and ruin radio signals. The answer to that is better quality LED fixtures with noise cancelling.

EJM4 we all have those moments.....the older I get the more often they happen. Glad it was an easy fix.

[Phil57]

Wonder how I new to look there. Glad it worked.

Happened to me last week. I started looking for fuses when it dawned on me that the switch in the entertainment center was off.

We have a 2012 390BH-60 ... not sure if your unit is the same but here is how ours works

1)Turn on the entertainment centre and TV

2)Inside the cabinet below TV, you will see a tan face plate with a coax cable coming out of it. Right next to it will be a very small black button. A small red light should come on.

3) Go to antenna dial on ceiling behind driver seat .... turn on switch at side. A blue light should come on

4) Turn antenna to maximize signal

5) Turn small white knob to get max blue lights.

6)Scroll through TV inputs until you get to antenna

7) You may initially need to go through TV setup to program for stations (I however did not)

Good luck
