Television Channel Scan, etc.

TV question.. I bought a 2017 Salem Hemisphere 23rbhl... there is a television in the camper. I set the channel function to air (not cable), raised the antenna and did a channel scan. It says it picked up a bunch of stations.. but, after the scan is finished I'm getting a message that says RUN CHANNEL SCAN. And im getting no TV stations to view.
Also.. is there a tv signal booster in this camper? If so.. I can't find it. Lol.

Look for the wall plate where the ant cable to the tv connects. There should be a small button that when pushed turns on a red or green led. The amp is in the antenna that is the power source.

My wall plate that Flybob mentioned is at the TV mount in our bedroom, not behind the main TV. I helped a guy in a camp once and found his behind a cabinet door in his entertainment center.

Thanks for responses.. I actually found the power booster button. It is on the "cable/antenna" plate behind the TV. Very small.

Also solved the channel scan issue. Discovered the booster button was broken.. would not stay engaged. Ince replaced.. the reception is fine.
