The LG TV’s built-in antenna might not work properly for a few reasons, like problems with the software, weak signals, or wrong settings.
Here’s what you can do:
Antenna Issues
Even a small change in how your antenna is positioned can make a big difference in how well it picks up signals.
Try moving your antenna around, aiming it towards where the TV stations broadcast from if you can. You can find out where those towers are online.
Also, make sure all the cables between your antenna and TV are connected properly and not damaged.
If you’re using a signal splitter, it might be making the signal weaker.
You can try connecting your antenna directly to your TV for a bit to see if that helps.
Channel Rescan
Sometimes, changes in channels or frequencies can mess things up.
Just go to your TV’s settings, locate the “Channels” section, and perform an automatic channel scan.
TV Signal Strength Issues
Some LG TVs may have a built-in signal strength meter.
Look for this feature in your settings to assess the signal strength you’re receiving.
If you notice the signal strength is weak, consider purchasing a signal amplifier for your antenna.
Software Glitches
This is not always the case, but it can happen!
There is an easy way to eliminate the glitch:
- Disconnect the TV from the power outlet.
- Wait for at least 5 minutes.
- During this time, press and hold the TV’s power button for about 30 seconds.
- Once you are done, power the TV back on.
That’s it…
If that doesn’t fix it, check if there are any updates for your LG TV.
Updates often fix problems with the tuner.
Nothing worked?
Then it might be a problem with the tuner itself.
In that case, you might need to get a professional to check it out.
Hope this helps!
