Antenna booster

My 2004 fleetwood Terry has 2 tv hook ups in same cabinet. one for living room and one for bedroom . I see no button on either for a booster. Each has a 12 volt (cigarette Lighter size)I have had older campers that did have the booster button. Any Ideas. Its a 320 BH

What brand of roof top antenna do you have? Are you sure of the function of the two "TV hook ups?" One could be a hook up for campground cable TV.

Not all antennas have an amplifier.

If the OP was looking for an antenna booster, the make and model of the antenna could help identify if the booster was built into the antenna base, head, or hidden in a void somewhere between the antenna and the TV hook up.

I am really embarrassed now. I went out and looked again. Moved the tv in living room side and there it was a push button and a green light. In the picture from the bedroom side it is hidden by the cable. Sorry for my confusion. and for your replies.

When there is a simple solution, or no problem to start with, it's always a good thing! Everyone reading the forums learn.

Muitiple thoughts
1: as someone said, Not all antennas have amplifiers
2: Some the switch is "Remote" on a wall plate somewhere OTHER than an antenna connection point
3: Box of many buttons, it's on that box (matrix switch)
4: Some other switch system
5: Prior owner modification.

And that's just the short list. You may need to contact the house builder to figure it out by VIN.
