If your LG TV isn't showing channels after a new purchase or move, first make sure the antenna cable is securely connected, and then run [Auto Tuning] in the TV settings.
If you are using a set-top box: You do not need to run [Auto Tuning]. Simply change the TV input to the one connected to your set-top box to start watching.
If you are using a wall antenna without a set-top box: Securely connect the cable to the antenna port on the back of the TV.
Then, complete [Auto Tuning] so your TV can receive broadcast channels properly.
In the TV settings menu, [Manual Tuning] is available in addition to [Auto Tuning].
This feature allows you to manually search for and save channels. For digital broadcasts, it also lets you check the signal strength of the connected antenna.
Channel setup may not be complete after installing a new TV.
If you recently moved, the saved channel frequencies may no longer match your new location.
The coaxial cable connecting the TV to the wall or antenna port may be loose or disconnected.
The TV may be set to the wrong input for your set-top box or external device.
There may be an issue with the antenna cable or the TV itself.
On your TV remote, press the [Settings] (gear icon) or [Mute] button three times in a row.
Securely connect the antenna cable from the wall port to the antenna port on the back of the TV.
If your TV has two ports, connect the cable to the Antenna/Cable input port.
If you installed a separate UHD antenna to watch over-the-air UHD broadcasts, connect the cable to the UHD TV Antenna input port.
2021 or later TVs [webOS 6.0 or later]: Press the [Settings] button on the remote, [All Settings] on the TV screen, [General], [Channels], [Channel Tuning], [Auto Tuning], [Start], [Done]
