Hi Y’all,  I’m the new owner of a 2019 R-Pod 189.  I just love it...   but can’t get either tv to pick up local channels.  Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I have a 2015, I have to be in a location to receive channels, I have to do a search each time I relocate and I have to have my amplifier on. That's for me.

+1 on making sure the amplifier is on and scanning for channels in every new location. It is not automatic.

Hopefully you know where the booster button is. It should be switched on (pushed in) and the red light is lit, to either watch t.v. or listen to the radio. Make sure you switch it off when your done, it will kill the battery.

With the radio we have, I have not needed to have the booster on to listen to the radio in our 2016 RP179. Perhaps the newer units are different though.

If that is the case you need a new battery or a better charging system. The TV pre-amp does not use much power. In fact the propane detector uses more power than the TV pre-amp.

Hubby and I just spent several hours working on tvs and lack of signals..  nothing helps.
He took the box loose and it appears to be hooked up, but is acting like it has no antenna..
Is there a wiring diagram or manual on the antenna?

Do you have the Jensen television and entertainment unit or is your radio the Furrion unit?
