Can't get TV signal from roof antenna

We're at our first CG that doesn't have cable TV, so we're hoping to use the 2720SL's roof antenna. I raised the antenna, attached a coax from the wall outlet to the TV set, and changed the TV's settings from Cable to Antenna. Still nothing.
What am I forgetting? Couldn't find anything the TM manual about this.

Haven't done it for a while (use satellite) but don't you press a black button on the TV connection so a green light comes on to use the antenna?

Someone will be along shortly to correct me if I am wrong.

You need to press the power button next to the coax connector on the side of the fridge. It is a powered ant. Then you need to open menu on the TV and have TV scan for available channels as it has not been used here before. I am assuming here that you have a digital tuner in the TV, If it is an older analog tuner you are out of luck until you get an aux digital turner. There are no ( almost none) analog stations in the US an longer.

After my whining, I figured it out, and it was just as you guys said--the button next to the coax connector. I'm actually amazed at the reception here in western NY (Southwoods RV Resort, in Byron) with just the roof antenna. Next time we're camping close enough to a city, we'll use the TM's antenna instead of cable.
Thanks.
