The on/off button next to it does not work? If not, get a new button. In the mean time, you can unscrew the little panel from the wall and disconnect the power.

That's what a warranty is for. This is an unusual problem; you just got the short straw.

The antenna is on top of the camper. I did not know I had to get up there with a ladder to turn off the on and off button. Poor design. Again with no owners manual how am I to know that?

what is the brand and name of the antenna? If you know..

The antenna booster power button on every camper I have ever looked at is on the wall panel inside the camper by the television.

Greetings
The antenna booster button is right next to the light on a small panel.  Push the button the light will go off.  The amp draws all most no current and would take a long time to drain the battery.  Did you buy the pod from a dealer?  They should of gone over all this with you.  You do not have to go up on the roof.  The antenna does not turn, and has no controls on the roof.  To operate the TV the light should be on and you will need to go into the program and scan for stations at every location.  

Happy Poding

Since very few people have seen or been in a 189, as it's a newer model, could you post pictures of the entertainment area and the antenna that is installed on your Pod? Thanks.I suspect you have a Furrion system, and I for one, don't have a lot experience with them.

Look behind your television, if you have the same setup as my 2016, and I’m sorry, but I have no idea what brand it is, there is a switch plate cover right next to the outlet and your antenna cable is screwed into it. Right next to, almost invisible because it is likely the same color as the back plate, is a tiny button, it may even look like it is the light, press that. It should toggle the booster and therefore the light on and off. I had to turn on the light to be able to even see it, but it was there. Apparently, if you are trying to hook up to RV Park cable via outside hookup, you must make sure this is turned off. Same goes for your own satellite antenna if you use one. I am no expert on this since we rarely watch TV while camping. I have not figured out photo uploading on this site, but if you google RV antenna booster button, you can get a photo of one of these switches. This button is no larger than an eighth inch on that cable switch plate. Hope this helps.

The red light I am talking about is on the black rabbit eared antenna on top of the camoer. I know it is drawing current.
