NO TV - Montana Owners Club

Last Saturday the TV worked fine, Sunday = NOTHING!! I checked all the connections, antenna (Winegard Batwing) hadn't moved, and the TV still played video. I'm thinking that the booster failed. Any ideas? Can it be tested? Thanks in advance for your help.

By chance did the input on the TV get changed?

Nope, it was on "antenna" and I scanned for channels twice.

Red light is on for your booster?

AFAIK the booster provides 12V to the antenna to power it. So you can check for the voltage with the button on and off.

I assume it is the living room TV that you are using. As the TV works (sound and video) from the DVD player, the problem is probably the signal supply (you already verified the TV is on the right input).

Does the bedroom TV (if you have one) also not work on antenna?

A cable tester may be needed to ensure there is a good connection from the TV to the antenna.
