I recall seeing a post a few months ago with a supposed fix when your Televison is unable to find any "Over The Air Channels".  The search function of this site is not very helpful.  Has anyone seen this topic or do you have any thoughts or fixes when the TV can't find channels in a city?

Hello LHamblin,
Welcome!
If you use the Advanced Search function, you can expand the time frame in which the search will operate. It seems to default to only posts 6 months old and newer. The advanced search lets you change this to search older dates as well. That might help.

Now, are you turning the antenna booster on? Does it make any difference? Have you been able to get television channels before in other locations? Are all the connections for the cables tight? Is there a fuse blown in the power panel (if the antenna booster light is not coming on)? Hopefully, one of these will help you figure out what is going on and to be able to resolve it.

I think it is much simpler to use google search because their search algorithm is more flexible. You can tell google to restrict its search to just rpod-owners by putting the following string at the front of your search:

site:rpod-owners.com 

(note that there is no "http://" or anything in the site name)

Follow that with your search term. 

If you're looking for a specific string, "enclose it in quotes like this"

If you NEED a specific word or words, enter them like  +this  (means search MUST include the word "this").

If you NEED a specific word or words to NOT be in your search, enter them like -this (means search MUST NOT include the word "this").

If you want to go beyond the above, you can click on the "Advanced Search" button and you can get specific about a date range and other criteria. 

I use google search all the time for pretty much all web sites, simply because the rules are consistent, and I can use it anywhere.

What year is your trailer, ours is a 2011. The TV in our pod is analog I have not put in the box to change it to digital.
If you want something done right, do it yourself.

our tv requires a "channel search" every time we relocate.  also make sure the antenna booster is on.  Hope this helps

Follow the cable from the television to the wall. On the plate where the cable is connected, there should be a little button. Push that and a red light should turn on which would indicate that the antenna booster is turned on. Push it again to turn it off.
