TV- No Channels Found

NO CHANNELS FOUND

The process for obtaining channels is fairly simple. This is normally accomplished by completing a channel scan.

An important thing to note is that the channel structure of an LG Television is broken down into 4 parts in this order (DTV, TV, CADTV, CATV). The channels will only be displayed together within the tuner the TV is currently on. For example:

The TV will cycle through all CADTV stations before it begins to cycle through CATV stations. This means the TV could cycle through channels 2-79 on the CADTV tuner, then jump back to channel 2 to begin cycling through the CATV tuner. It is important to know which tuner the TV is currently using to display the channel. This can be determined by pressing the ‘Info” or ‘Enter’ button on the LG remote.

Check the connection type

In order for your TV to find any stations, you must first be using the TV’s tuner and not a cable box. If a cable box is in use you will need to contact your cable/satellite service provider for further assistance.

If you are using a coaxial connection directly from the wall to the television, ensure the cable is tightly and securely screwed into both the TV and the wall. You will also need to ensure the television is tuned to channel 3 or 4 to receive the stations.

Perform a Channel Scan

A channel scan is necessary when using antenna or basic cable from the wall. When a cable/satellite box is used, the TV’s tuner is not in use and will not locate any channels. Be sure the antenna or cable is connected directly to the back of the television.

Press the Home or Menu button on the remote

Select Setup

Select Channel

Select Auto Tuning

Select Start

Note: It is important to allow the device to completely scan to 100%. If the device is not allowed to search for all available stations, some could be missing from the channel list

Adjust the antenna

Rooftop Antenna

If there is a way to make any adjustments to the antenna, please try to rotate or adjust it slightly.

Indoor Antenna

Try moving the antenna near a window or to a slightly higher place than it currently resides at.

If moving the antenna near a window is impossible, try adjusting it slightly in a different direction.

Standard Cable from the wall

There aren’t any adjustments that can be made to get the stations to appear when using cable. Check other televisions in the home to see if the channel is available. If so, there may be a problem with the TV. If not, you will need to contact the cable service provider to see if there is a problem with that particular channel.

Check other devices

If you are using a cable connection, check another TV in the home to see if the cable channels are available.

If so, there may be a problem with the tuner of the TV and will require a service call.

If not, contact the service provider to see if there is a problem with the cable subscription.

If you are using an antenna connection, adjust the antenna and then perform another auto scan.

If channels are then found, troubleshooting is complete.

If no channels are found, you may need to try a signal booster or antenna amplifier.

Q. My TV box shows standard-definition versions of channels, not the high-definition copies I’m paying for. How can I change that?

A. The black bars that bracket a standard-def channel on a high-def screen should be a badge of shame in the subscription-TV industry, but they’re a common sight when you punch in a channel’s traditional number on a cable or satellite remote.

SD televisions vanished from retail years ago -- the Consumer Technology Association last bothered counting their shipments in 2007 -- and it should be an exceedingly safe bet that when subscribers tune into channels available in HD, they’ll watch it on HDTVs.

You can often fix that with some clicking around settings screens, but your odds vary depending on your TV provider and the age of the box you pay $5 or more a month to rent.

Auto Tune Cable Box Reviews

• At AT&T’s U-verse you can only avoid SD duplicates by using your remote to create a list of favorite channels. You can’t set the guide to show only HD channels either, although spokesman Brett LeVecchio offered one tip: Channels between 1000 and 2000 should usually be HD. The DirecTV satellite service that AT&T bought last year is smarter, offering an option in its Settings screen to “Hide SD duplicates” from the program guide.

• Charter, the cable company that recently acquired Time Warner Cable and Bright House in a $79 billion transaction, has an “HD Auto Tune” option on its Spectrum boxes that automatically switches you to the HD version of a channel if you select its SD offering. But if you’re in one of the small minority of Charter households with an older box, you may have to cobble together a favorite-channels list instead.

• A similar situation exists at Comcast, the nation’s largest cable firm. Its X1 boxes -- the Philadelphia firm says half of subscriber households should have them by the end of this year -- automatically selects HD versions of channels when available. Older boxes don’t do that but should present a “Watch in HD” button if you tune in an SD version of a channel.

Cable Tuner Box

• Cox’s boxes include an “Auto-tune to HD” option -- but its Contour boxes based on Comcast’s X1 software do not.

• Dish Network’s Hopper digital video recorders automatically hide SD channels when HD counterparts are available. Its older boxes have an option to show only HD channels.

• Optimum’s boxes automatically display high-definition versions of channels. This subsidiary of the European cable firm Altice has gotten this right for years: When I looked at this issue in 2012, the company then known as Cablevision was the only firm among those I eyeballed to offer an HD auto-tune option.

Auto Tune Cable Box Replacement

• Time Warner Cable’s boxes also show HD editions of channels by default.

• Verizon’s Fios TV boxes have an auto-tune option unmentioned in its online documentation or hardware manuals--I only saw it in a post on its tech-support forum. Press the Menu button on the remote, scroll up to Settings, select System, scroll down to Television, and scroll down to select “Auto tune to HD.” Spokesman Raymond McConville said the company hasn’t made this the default because earlier changes to the Fios TV interface were “met with a lot of confusion from customers.”
