Hi

I'm having some problems with my new LG TV, it isn't picking up half the channels it should be.
I've had a brand new aerial recently installed and that seems to be working fine - I have a second TV in my house and that is picking up channels ok, so can't see any problems there.
The LG TV was working fine yesterday evening, then all of a sudden said 'no signal' on the TV guide and all my channels seem to have been wiped.
I have tried an auto search for the channels, but to no avail. It brings some through but not all. This includes terrestrial channels 1 and 2. I have also tried leaving it off a while, but again not helped.

Pretty please can someone help me - any advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks! Smile

Switch off TV. (Completely off, not just standby). Unplug aerial lead. Power up and switch on TV.

Go to yor settings and do scan for channels. (Obviously it won't find anything but let it complete the scan anyway.)

When complete, switch off/power off again.

Re-connect aerial lead.

Power on/switch on again. Repeat scan.

Hopefully it'll be ok.
