There are dozens of models of LG TVs. The instructions below cover the most popular models, but may not work for all.
Each TV manufacturer uses a different term to describe a rescan. Most LG TV's call their rescan function "Auto Tuning" or "Channel Tuning"
TRY THESE FIRST. If you've been into your TV's settings before, these instructions should help you rescan your TV.
1. Select "Settings" on your remote. If you have a Smart TV, you will need to go into your full options menu, not the quick menu that appears on the right side.
2. Choose the "Channels" menu. (The exact menu name may differ based on your model)
3. Select "Auto Tuning"
LG SMART TVs (All TV's running web OS)
1. Select "Settings" on your remote.
2. Scroll down to the "Advanced Settings" menu. (Alternatively, you can hold down the settings button for five seconds to skip the quick menu)
3. Select "Channels," then "Channel Tuning"
4. Your TV should begin to rescan. You can view the progress on this screen.
