TV Cable Boost Switch
I have a 2018 3121RL and trying to watch TV, Digital channels are fine but where is that little button for the Booster so we can watch the Analog channels. It is not on the wall where the TV plugs into the cable, it doesn’t appear to be on the settings anywhere on the Insignia TV, wondering where they put the boost switch on the new Montana’s

Usually it's behind the bedroom tv.

I've got the same rig as you OP and it is behind the TV in the bedroom.

And it is antenna preamp on for watching TV and off for watching cable...

It's also a extremely small button which should then turn on a small red light.

Did you find it. I have a 2019 3561. Not there now but I to have been looking for it. Can't get my cable at the campsite to work until I can turn that darn thing off.

Doesn't 2019 and later models have the Key TV system which eliminates the antenna booster switch? The Key TV system determines automatically if boost is required based on the TV's Source selection (OTA or Cable).

I had thought that as well but the power light where the cable hooks to it's still blue lite after plugging the cable from the box in.
I'm going to do some more looking when I get home. There owners manual is useless for this stuff.

F.Y.I. There are a group of Key TV manuals in the Files section.
https://www.montanaowners.com/forums...hp?do=cat&id=3
Perhaps the diagnostic one will help.
I don't have the Key TV option (antique Montana) but if I am reading the manuals correctly you can't get OTA if park cable is attached. Basically it sounds like they removed the booster button for a more onerous technique of going outside to disconnect the cable if you want to switch.
Is this correct?

Haven't looked at the file yet. It was my understanding that when the cable was hooked up the power light would turn off. I miss my older camper where switches were easy to understand. Hahaha
