417 Fuzion TV Question
Hello all,
My wife and I just purchased a 2018 417 Fuzion. We are out this weekend on our first trip. Loving it so far. Truley an amazing TH.
I can’t figure out for the life of me how to get the “over the air” antenna to work on the TV’s.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Look for a electric plate where the cable connects. It will have a small button on it. That turns s the TV booster on and off. Will look like this.

Welcome to the forum
Congrats on your new purchase. Let's see if we can get you watching the Sat morning news:
If you have a crank up antenna, make sure it's up and pointed in the right direction. The "right" direction is so that the arms are 90 degrees from the transmission tower like facing it with your arms out, or looking the other way.
Now find the antenna booster switch, it is the little button on the plate that has the coax coming out to a TV. If you have multiple TV's or places for TV's check them all. Most likely NOT aim the garage. It need to be ON (light on).
Turn on TV. Find settings or menu. Scroll to "Channel" choose "air" and then scan. It will tell you how many channels it found when done. Exit and enjoy!

Thanks for the response. Yes I found that and it’s on. All TV’s are hooked up to wall outlets via coax, but no matter what I choose for a source, I get nothing....

From what I can tell, it’s a stationary antenna.

In your second pic the "SOURCE" needs to be TV.

On TV, scrolling through channels, nothing. Guessing my stationary antenna is the issue.

If you have a crank inside where the TV antenna is located on the roof, then make sure it is cranked to the up position. Crank usually is located on the bedroom ceiling. As Chuckster57 stated make sure input source for each TV is set TV which is the coax terminal on the TV. Ensure there is a coax cable connected from that TV coax terminal to the correct Coax terminal on the wall near the TV. Remember if its the main TV you may have at least two coax terminals on the wall, one connected to the the satellite noted terminal in the convenience center and the other going to that booster switch (which is the one you want to connect to for the outside TV antenna. Booster switch on for Over the air TV,off for cable

The antenna isn't a crank up, but it is directional. You should have a dial on the ceiling under the antenna where you can turn it for the best reception

If it is the same is my 2016 414, it is a fixed Omni directional antenna. There is no adustment and you just turn the power booster on. Mine is in the cabinet over the headboard of the bed on the street side. The red light should be on for over air and off if you use campground cable hook ups. It gets a reasonable signal including digital over air HD channels. It looks like you found the TV’s over air channel search function.

Same as mine, no adjustment or turning capabilities, just on or off.

We have a 2018 369 and it has a fixed antenna, so yes yours would be as well. As far as the connections, yes, the cables connectors were terrible. I ended up replacing every connection throughout with ideal compression style connectors for antenna and sat. Including at the splitter located in the wall behind the amplifier button. Every trailer I have owned I have done this. I know it's right now.

For got to metion when checking the connections take out the wall plates and check the connectors attached to the back side of them as they are either loose or bad crimps as well.

Are you sure you attached to the TV plug? There are 2, one is tv and the other is Satilite so confirm tv one with booster switch on. My booster switch is in the overhead cabinets in the master bedroom as an FYI.
Also I found my tv splitter had come disconnected in the wall where the tv plugs in, F420. Had to remove plug, reach in wall and grab splitter to reattach tv cable.
