Digital signal booster

I am new to camping and recently bought a new camper. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about boosting the signal of the digital antenna to try to pick up more channels.

Thanks in advance

    It is very hard to beat one of these WINEGARD BATWING antennas. This has a booster amp built-in that gets activated when you push in the button on the ANTENNA WALL PANEL...

    Some of the newer trailers are coming out now with inferior round and low profile omni-directional antennas...

    If you have this Batwing crankup antenna on your trailer it is one of best ones you can find... NOTE the added dipoles





    Don't forget this is just like your HDTV setup in the house as you have to select ANTENNA and then scan in the digital stations from the HDTV menu setup... When you are hooked up to CABLE TV at the camp grounds yo have to select CABLE from the HDTV menu and do the scan again...

  • OK thanks. I picked up 3 channels this weekend, but all local public broadcasting channels. I didn't know there was a power button for it. I will have to check it out some more.
  • It is already boosted by the amplifier in the head of the antenna, PROVIDING that you have the power button to it ON, with the red light shining. For the correct answer to your question, yes, there is the Winegard Sensar Pro meter and amplifier that replaces you regular antenna power supply and switch. In my case, it seems to work very well. Just remember that too much boost can overload the TV input, with worse results and what appears to be signal loss.
