LG TV – How to Program Over-The-Air Channels

  • Operation

At a Glance

When setting up your LG TV using an over-the-air antenna, you must program these channels into the TV. There are two ways of programming channels into your LG TV; you can choose to have the television detect the available channels in your area automatically, or you can manually enter channels yourself. Both methods require use of your LG TV remote control.

Note

An digital over-the-air antenna would be required to gain access to the local channels in your area.
