Could it be possible that our 2005 36ft Limited would have been manufactured without an antenna booster? I have the generic manual from the website (it shows a switch on the deiling in the area of the antenna), but I don't see any switch anywhere to turn on a booster. I barely get one channel but the units around me get 3 or 4 pretty well. I have the black box in the cabinet above the TV, but that seems to be a distribution system for sending the TV signal to various places in the camper or playing a DVD player (which is missing of course). Any guidelines you could offer as to where to look for a switch to turn on a booster would be appreciated. Thanks.

The distribution box in your entertainment center has the booster built into it. If the red light is on, and you have the button pushed for "antenna" you should be getting a boosted signal.

Any questions, call our Customer Service Dept. and ask for Ed. He is an expert on satellite/antenna/entertainment center wiring. 800-368-3759.

Thanks
Bryan

Thank you VERY much. I'll have to go try to get the antenna IN wire fed into the black box and an OUT wire going to the TV. I haven't figured out how to get the surround sound wired also. Does that get it's power from the black distribution box also? Farminatr
