Where’s the antenna booster switch in a 2019 Dutch Star

My third day of ownership and trying to watch cable tv but I can’t find the antenna booster switch. Looked “almost “ everywhere lol. 3736 model.

It's all included in the antenna aiming control.

When you turn on the Winegard OTA antenna that is all you do. Press search on the antenna controller. After the search is completed you go to your TV and go to the “broadcast” menu; select auto search and wait. When completed you can watch TV

Antenna booster does not amplify cable TV signals.

We're assuming you're looking for the booster in order to make sure it is turned off.

That is correct. Trying to turn antenna booster off so cable can come through.

There is no separate booster. If that antenna is turned OFF, the booster is off. You may have a cable issue. If you're hooking the park cable into the small box in the power cord reel bay, Newmar often mis-marked/mis-wired the two coax connections (sat and cable). Hook up to the SAT connection and see if it works.

That is what I needed, just turn off winegard. Thanks for the help. I’m use to the small push button and green light indicating the booster is on.
