[LG TV] How to Search for Missing Channels (Auto Tuning)

Troubleshooting

If a specific channel is missing on your TV, try running Auto Tuning.
A channel may not be available if it has been deleted, its frequency has changed, or your cable provider has rearranged their channel lineup.
If you are using a set-top box, please contact your service provider for assistance.

Why are certain channels not appearing anymore?

  • The channel may have been deleted by the broadcaster or its frequency may have changed.
  • The channel number may have changed due to your cable provider’s channel reorganization.
  • If the antenna or cable connection is unstable, some channels may not be received properly.
  • If you are using a set-top box, the issue may be due to a broadcasting signal problem from your service provider.
