TV channel problem

[2000camaross]

In our Keystone Passport we can scan and get 10 channels in our driveway. The channels we get are all the higher numbers ie: Fox 68, My 43 etc. We cannot get the lower number channels ie: 3 NBC, 5 CBS, 9 ABC. I don't believe the problem is with the TV or the roof mounted antenna. It seems as though if the antenna is the problem we wouldn't get Fox etc. What might be the problem?

Check to see if the channel booster is on. If you don't know what that is try a You Tube video. You Tube is your friend.

I am FAR from qualified to answer this question but I seem to find that OTA channels are higher number(s) than cable provided channels (same station / different numbers) May be my area and system, but as long as you get the channel you are hoping for, the number isn't important IMHO. Good luck. Blessings

The light is on, on the booster. I assume that means it's working.

We cannot get the major networks, like NBC, CBS, ABC.

Let's back up a little.
It would help if we knew where you are. How far away are the major towers, what type of antenna is it, can you aim it and so on.
Everything effects everything.

Central NY, Syracuse area. Ita a roof mount. It's a Winegard Sensar III antenna.

do you get those OTA stations in your house?

We have an outdoor antenna on the house. We can get NBC, CBS, and ABC. Oddly enough if it's raining we can only get ABC.

How can that be considered a problem???

When you know,you know!!!

It may be the antenna, most stations are HD signal these days. You may not be receiving on the RV if you do not have an HD antenna. My 2 cents, no a specialist.

I'm gonna guess the signal is a little too weak for the RV. Assuming you have used the Wingard search function and knowing when the weather is bad you loose channels in the house that would be my guess.

Not sure it will help with this problem but maybe in the future.
Download from Apple Store 2 different TV station locaters. One is TV Towers USA and the other is Winegard - TV Signal. Gives you someplace where to start.
