It's usually where the cable from the TV plugs into the receptacle on the wall. Should be a small button and LED on the receptacle face plate.

I see you have an "entertainment center." You may have to pull the TV out (i.e., access behind the TV) to find it.

Lol. We stayed at an RV Resort last week and for the first time had access to cable. I couldn't get it to work though the resort said it was fine to the post. I disassembled the whole mess under the TV before I realized that there was a little button on the wall jack under the TV that is the booster for the antenna. (832IKBS) It was really hard to see as it is tucked in the cubby under the TV above the fireplace.

Looking at pics I've found on your floorplan, I see a little cubby just to the right of the fireplace. I can see some black faceplates in there. They maybe hook ups for various electronic devices. One of them may be the antenna booster?

Capsfloyd...the button on our 832ikbs is so small that when there's a coax attached you can't see it. It's behind the coax connection. Just a small button, smaller than a pencil lead.

The push on push off button is about the size of a pencil eraser.
The little LED that says whether it's on or not is the size of a pencil lead.
