Residential tv antenna with powered amp?

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.

Just curious how far are you at your seasonal site that you can't get locals?

I was planning to take my DTV box from Madison and bring it to Mauston, 70 miles away seasonal site. Was hoping to get local automatically up there
