Well I will strongly disagree as to a booster working. I can sit with booster off no or a couple channels on scan, turn on and have 30 or more. I have two newer TV's and they work the same. Turn off boost when on cable as this can interfere with signal. As to where the switch is some are on the BOMB, Box Of Many Buttons.

If you are referring to pushing the button inside that switches you from Cable to OTA, that is NOT a booster. This is called a power supply and A/B switch. When it is on it sends 12V power to the antenna turning on the amplifier (booster) in the head of the antenna but the wall plate itself is not a booster. There are boosters that can be added to most any signal which may or may not be of any value.
