The next trip out I will hook up direct from CG cable to outside tv and see if the results are the same as through the rv. I have tried to get reception in our driveway through the antenna with bad results also. We are 30 miles from Sacramento so I would think we should be able to pick up a channel or two.

On my 23TR, the antenna reception button doesn't seem to be coloured (it is in the cupboard above the fridge and mounted to the left) so I don't see it head on. When the button is pushed into "on" a small light on the plug panel turns GREEN and when pushed to "off" its just dark. Nancy

"We are 30 miles from Sacramento so I would think we should be able to pick up a channel or two."

Actually, that's the rap against the Jack. It sits too low as compared to the Sensar. I find the domes, covers and airconditioners actually interfere with TV OTA reception. Throw in a hill or trees or mountain, and you're hard pressed to get anything line of sight or curve of the earth.

It does work well for me in Indiana....where I go, I can see Ohio and Illinois it's so flat.

Nancy, thank you. Exactly as you described.

Actually you are correct, I only imagine it red because it was on our 5th wheel. I can not see ours either.
