2004 Roadstar 1500

Hello Tech Service
I have a 2004 Country Coach with a Road Star 1500 that came from factory when purchased.
I bought coach 2 years ago and got a very snowy picture one time after I got it. Have not tried since.
Do I need to replace the head of this unit with a digital Road Star as the one that I have is the old analog type?
Everything is built in so I have not checked on the current supply to the head. I thought I would get this info before trying anything else. I also have the winegard selector box that you can select cable, antenna, satellite for 4 different sets and this works. I switch to the antenna and nothing happens
Thanks for your help, Bob

There is no such thing as a digital antenna. All antennas receive UHF and VHF signals. That has not changed. If you are seeing snow, only the TV's analog tuner could cause this as the digital tuner would give you either a perfect picture or none at all. This would be the TV, not the antenna.
Are you sure the power supply is turned on? Since this is an '04 coach, have the TV's been replaced with new flat screen digital TV's? If not, you would need to install a digital to analog converter to be able to receive any programming on the older style TV.

Thanks Bill
I will check the power supply. I do have the new flat screen tv and get a great picture off of cable and dish satellite by switching the Winegard selector box. I was trying to figure out if the 1500 got its power off of this.
I will get behind it and trace wires etc.
Thanks again for the advice.
Bob
