Do you have the antenna amp on? It's usually located in a cabinet over the dash.

To pick up OTA channels you have to turn on the antenna booster. It is in the upper (left side on mine) part of the AV cabinet in the bedroom. Little button, and a green light should come on when it's on.

Aiming the antenna can help too if you know where you would expect the broadcast to come from. On the antenna box, 4 points to the front of the coach, 8 left side, 12 rear, 16 right side.

I've done the channel scan 3 ways, booster on, booster off and can't remember which one is usually better across all channels (I think "on" is). I've also done booster on during the OTA scan then quickly turn it off when the scan moves to cable...... On/Off is kind of a pain to do since you have to do it for all the TVs but it ensures you get all the channels.

In any case, to watch OTA th booster has to be on, for cable off, and of course you have to set the TV input appropriately.

Hope that helps

If I understand correctly, the new Tiffins use an omnidirectional antenna and there's no way to aim it. The power booster does need to be turned on. I think 2015 was the last year for the HD360 (Lucky Us), which I have changed out for a Rayzar.
