Cable power booster
Morning! We are at. KOA that has cable TV and we don't know where to turn the power booster off in our 2014 class C Sunseeker? HELP! I'm watching only 2 channels!

Look at the cable wall plate to see if there is a little red light, a little button. Push the button and the light should go off. Next, train your TV programmer to find all the channels. Go to menu, set it to cable, scan channels, about 2-3 minutes and that should do it. Also when your on the antenna you need to scan this at every location.

Do you have a switch box? If so, it may be built into that.

i thought RV's had an antenna booster switch, but not a CABLE booster switch?
why would you need to boost the cable signal?

If you have the TV in the cabover area, there are two boosters, one is deep on the right hand side of the TV the other is a the base of the antenna, you can barely see it as the button is hidden by the cable wire.

Learned that off a friends 3050 when they could not get good cable at the park on our vacation trip to FL together.

In my 2014 2900 the cabinet up top directly behind the drivers seat, inside is where the tv plugs in, I had a little button that when pushed would turn the green light off so that I could watch cable.
