Antenna wiring

Does anyone have the schematics for the wiring of the TV antenna? We disconnected our TV and replaced it with a flat panel HDTV. We are unable to get it to reception with the antenna. What are we missing?

If all you did was disconnect the coax from the old TV and connect it to the new TV and it worked before then it should not be the wiring.
First is the amplifier on?
If yes, then are you certain you have selected the correct input on the TV source menu?

Are you sure you completed all the programming steps for the new TV?

In the "Forum Information and Help" portion of the MOC is aposting entitled "TV and Cable TV Wiring Diagram" http://www.montanaowners.com/forums/...ad.php?t=37324

Your 2006 is a pretty simple system. The antenna connection and power unit is right there in the bedroom closet. To use the OTA antenna you want to have the amplifier ON. Make sure you have selected the correct "Source" input and you have set the TV to antenna and run the channel search setup task. The new HDTVs work differently than the old boob tube TVs.

A 2006 should be straight forward. From what I've experienced and read, it's later on that the workers started getting a little creative in how they wired things up.
