Antenna Booster

Help!

2019 Montana 3854, issues with connection with playmaker dish, does not work thru satellite port.
Where is the antenna booster button located in order to turn it off for cable?
Both TV’s work fine with AIR, fuzzy with cable, just about non-existent signal with satellite.

I had that setup and you have to run the cable directly from the satellite to the receiver. You cannot go through the cable or satellite ports on the trailer. This requires you to go through your window......that and the time it took to pair with the satellite and get everything working is why I got rid of it.

I think they did away with the booster in 2019 sometime.

I know nothing about the KeyTV system - but the antenna booster in my rig is behind the bedroom TV. When the green LED light is on that means I am using the antenna - not the park cable or satellite.

One point to make (that will probably not apply to KeyTV) - my Dish tailgater will not work with the OEM coax wiring and splitters. I have installed a dedicated coax that sticks out below the slideout (under the TV) to hook up the tailgater to my black box. Before I ran this dedicated cable I ran the coax thru the nearest window.

The OEM coax and splitters work great for antenna or park cable watching...just have to make sure the antenna booster is on or off as required.
