How Do I Retune My LG Television?

If you’ve moved, switched providers, or just aren’t getting the channels you expect, you might need to retune your LG TV. This guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough for retuning your LG television across various WebOS versions. Don’t worry, it’s easier than you think!

Retuning your TV, also known as channel scanning, allows your television to search for and store all available broadcast channels in your area. This is essential for accessing local channels and ensuring you have the most up-to-date channel lineup. You’ll need to retune your LG TV if you use an antenna (indoor or outdoor), a public antenna, or a cable provider’s antenna connected directly to the TV.

Retuning with the Mute Button Trick

Some LG TVs (2019 and later models) offer a shortcut for retuning. Try pressing the Mute button on your remote three times in a row. This might automatically start the channel scanning process.

Important Considerations

• Set-Top Box Users: If you’re using a set-top box (cable or satellite), you don’t need to retune your LG TV. Instead, ensure your TV is set to the correct input source for your set-top box.
• Signal Strength: Weak signal strength can affect the number of channels found during the scan. Ensure your antenna is properly connected and positioned for optimal reception.

By following these simple steps, you can successfully retune your LG television and enjoy all the available channels in your area. If you continue to experience issues, consult your LG TV’s user manual or contact LG support for further assistance.
