Manual TV Antenna

Question

I have a 2006 Jayco Desiner 5th wheel that Iam getting ready to sale.
Iam ashamed to admit that I don't know how to use the manual antenna that came with the RV. I have always stayed at campgrounds that had cable hook-ups. I checked under the TV looking for a switch to move between cable and Antenna and found none. Anyone have this older model to help on the location of the switch or will it automatic switch or would you control by TV remote? I know how to operate the antenna up and down. Thanks for any and all help-out of touch. Bill

Behind the TV there will be a plate with a coax out, a small slide switch and a red LED.  LED on power to the antenna.  LED off no power.  The coax connection connects to ANT in on the back of the TV.

Ours is a 2008 Designer with the optional 42 inch TV mounted above a Jenson DVD/tuner/surround sound unit, with the fireplace below.  In our set up, the plate with the coax out that donn0128 refers to is behind the Jenson, and has a button instead of a slide switch.  When using the antenna, the button needs to be pressed, and a small green LED light will come on.  This is for the signal booster.  When connected to cable, it needs to be off.  Hope this helps.

You'll also need to do a channel search on the TV for over the air channels (just as you do for cable).

Using the remote, go to the TV's "setup" menu.Set for "AIR" input and then run the channel search.That assumes that the antenna is up, pointed toward one or more transmitters, and the booster is on.
