Background; new camper, has worthless omni disk antenna picks up nothing. Already have Directv but want locals at camp site. Seasonal site, camper will not be moved.
I had asked previously how to get better signal. Best answers were to get residential antenna.
I'm ready to get an antenna now, but what to I do about the OEM powered switch by the tv? Do I leave it off? Or will that prevent signal from passing through? Or do I have it on, but where does the power go then? I don't think I want to send power to an aluminum antenna with no booster on it?
Thanks for any help.
if all you want are the locals just call DirecTV and change your service address. that should do it. that's what we do with DISH Network and i'll bet it works for DTV as well.
