When I scan for channels it says it found 69. But only 3 or 4 will play. What's up with that?

Are you talking about the power amp?  If so, something's amiss, I had to replace one of those cable connector, power amp switch outlets.

Follow the coax cable from the tv to where it plugs into the face plate. There is a very little black button on the face plate. On mine when it’s on there is a green light that’s comes on, on the face plate, and when it’s off there is no light. Push the button so there’s no green light. That’s what fixed it for me on my 180.

Interesting.  When I turn on amp, light is on.  I can't get reception without amp.

My 171 doesn't have a green light. Only a red one. Scanning picks up 69 channels but it only plays 2 or 3. And they are garbage. Good thing I'm not a tv fan. It's a waste of time. I threw out the tv in my apartment. Best move I ever made. I might do the same in the camper.

I have a 2018 180 and the push button for the tv is a red light does this switch also shut off the red led on the antenna on top?  It seem to be slowly draining the batterys.
