Gd Day all. I hope someone can supply an answer to my question. After setting up a new 24 Furrion tv, turned on 240 power, I ended up with no anolog channels and 13 HD channels. These were all too pixelated to watch even after raising and rotate aerial. ..I gave up, pulled out the 240 power lowered aerial. At this point I attached the 12v lead to the tv the other end to cigarette wall inlet and the tv then worked beautifully with no pixe jittears.....even with the aerail wound fully down.!
Check area ? Some signal is horizontal or vertical. Its digital now . May need a booster . Or booster turned on .. There are areas even in cities that have low signal . Outside our house is one of them .we had similar prob . We found plastic covering over outer cable . Once removed .. The reception improved big time !

Ah, those were the days. I recall back in the day over 50 years ago my old man bought our first TV. Didn't know it had to be connected to an antenna, he got a mate come over looked at the problem and stuck two large screwdrivers into a loaf of stale bread & connected the antenna wires to the two screwdrivers. That worked until the bread went mouldy so my old man kept on using stale bread for 6 months until he could afford to get a big antenna on the roof of the house. It was either that or I had to stand in the corner of the room holding the wires up in the air at different angles depending on the channel.

Thanks for your replys people. I must have had too much info overload when I collected my 2006 sterling Jayco recently. I hadnt even noticed the little booster button or the fact that a booster was installed. I read on the internet that the Furrion 24 will use up 40w, per hour I would guess. Would that figure be doubled by using the booster ?

Yes those were the day.
Back when I was 14 and my younger brother was 12 our parents went on a holiday to WA, not enough room in the car 1968, left the two of use at home for 2 weeks with a pantry full of food. This was OK with us because the old man was a bit of a tyrant.
Lo and behold the TV was working fine the day before they left and then stopped working.
After 2 weeks they arrive back and suddenly the TV is working again.
That mongrel dad of ours disconnected the wires in the plug just so we wouldn't be watching TV all the time using his power, what a mongrel.
Leaving us kids to fend for ourselves for 2 weeks was criminal, we didn't know that and life goes on.
We thought we were well of living in a god fearing church going household that lived by the rule spare the rod spoil the child. I left home at 15.
