Over the air TV and cable switch?

Still learning about my new Alpine. I have been trying to figure out if there is some type of switching apparatus for the over the air or cable tv. Our RV park offers free cable, and the only way I can switch is unscrew the free cable and then I'm able to watch over the air tv. The Furrion manual which seems like it was wrote by some third world person doesn't give much info. When wanting cable I have to hook the cable back up. To bad Keystone didn't offer a sliding switch to allow this.

Possibly near your bedroom TV, possibly in a cabinet or closet, there will be an antenna booster. It looks similar to a switch cover with a cable fitting on it & possibly a cigarette lighter plug. There's a very small button with a very small led, possibly green, light next to it, if that light is "on" the antenna booster is "on", it must be "off" to receive cable signal & "on" to receive antenna signal. Once the booster is set to your choice of input go the the tv setup menu, switch to appropriate input the do the "auto scan". The scan must be done every time you relocate or switch inputs.

If you have the new KeyTV system then disregard this message & wait for someone else to help.

Thank you Sir, I do have the new keytv system and finally figured out you have to physically remove the cable in from your outside connector to switch.

They do make an A/B switch that should make life a little easier, but you may still have to scan each time for channels. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Commerci...itch/203717826

Thanks Bob, think I can actually unscrew the cable faster outside than doing a channel scan for each time it would take. You would think with the technology they have today a simple slide switch by the tv would make sense. Guess not.
