Has this antenna worked well in this location in the past and is not working properly now or is this a new location? If you can go up on the roof with a multi-meter you want to disconnect the coax from the Batwing head and check the coax. You should find that the center conductor is showing at least 12VDC. If not you will want to verify that you have the power to the antenna turned on inside the coach (wall plate with a tiny (usually green) light. If that's all good you will want to bring in another recent digital TV and connect directly to ensure it's not something having to do with the TV or other cabling issues.
We were camping so this was a new location. Our symptoms do not seem to be location specific. It occurs sporadically at various locations. I will check the voltage on the coax at the batwing but suspect it is Ok since we receive other channels Ok. The power is on inside the MH (the light is On). Our 2nd TV in MH has the same "LOST SIGNAL" symptoms specific to one channel so doubt it is the TV itself.
