Budman -- not all booster control switches are on a white wall plate with the coax connection. I included a picture of the one on my 2015 Vegas 24.1. The black plate to the rear is for the booster. All it has is the booster button and LED light. No coax connections.

Mine is located on the side wall of the upper most shelf in the kitchen cabinet above my sink. It cannot be seen (or reached) without standing on a stool. RV manufacturers are notorious for "hiding" this little jewel.

The booster switch, as its name implies, does more than turn on (or off) your TV antenna. It is also an amplifier that "boosts" the antenna signal (hence its name). It is wired between the antenna and all the splitters going to each TV so that a boosted on air signal goes to each location.

Also, in almost all applications, if this booster switch is on (indicated by the small LED light near the booster switch button), your cable system will be disabled. You cannot use the cable system if the booster is on. So be sure the LED is out before you try to scan the TVs for cable operation.

I read the instructions on your video box. It sounds like you power the box and if hooked to cable, press the 'Cable TV" button for the TV you are watching. If you are in a park or boondocking with no external cable, to use the antenna you turn on the box and press the "TV Ant" button for the relevant TV. Looking at the rear, there are only coax connections for 3 TVs.
