I have a 179 and I can't get any t.v reception. Living in the mountains away from any tv tower I figured that's the norm. Here is my problem. We stayed at a KOA not long ago and they had electrical power and cable. When I hooked up I still didn't get any tv reception. I notice on the television wall plate that there is a button and a light on it. The light never lights up with the button out or in. I looked behind the plate and behind the radio/dvd player and all wire seem to be hooked up.  Has anyone else had this problem, and can you help? John |

The button is a booster for when you do not have cable TV hooked up. I'm not sure if there is a fuse for it but mine lights up when pressed. ------------- 2016 Chevy Silverado 4X4 2016 RP179 |

If the light isn't coming on you have a power problem on that circuit - and it explains why you aren't getting any stations since it needs to be on unless you are connected to cable TV. Have you checked the fuses on the converter?
