Push the button and turn the green light off and you disable the terrestrial antenna power supply and this allows the external coax to supply cable signals to the TVs. Remember you must also program each TV each time you connect to a different cable system.



Many Thor class As also have a BOMB (a box of many buttons). This is a video switch box. It is a a place to connect a DVD player and distribute the signal to the individual TVs. The BOMB uses the HDMI cable system in the coach and not the coax. Again each TV must be configured to display HDMI signals. If your coach has an inverter, there will be a inverter powered 120 volt receptacle in the BOMB cabinet. Mine is above the frig.

hmmmm....my 'BOMB' is 12v, just like the bedroom 12v Jensen TV, and the 12v OTA local antenna.... this is to allow you to watch TV when only on 12v power from the batteries.
Yes, I have 4 other TVs that are 120v, but the typical 'BOMB' itself doesn't need 120v power to work - it is really just a overly complicated signal 'booster' for the OTA antenna, with other 'directional' selections for the coax signal, when you want to watch other devices that don't need boosting - satellite, dvd, etc,.
Yes, I do also have a 120v outlet in the same cabinet as the 'BOMB', but that is only for DVD players, or other type of devices that are only 120v.
