No TNT channels on LG Smart TV
Solved
Hello,
I just bought an LG 43UP75006LF smart TV today to replace an old flat screen.
I still want to use the digital terrestrial television (TNT) to watch TV, but I can't find the TNT channels.
I connected my coaxial cable, which was already used for the previous TNT decoder, directly to the new TV. I have a satellite dish on the roof.
I did some research by plugging the coaxial into the antenna input and then into the satellite input, but I got the same result every time.
I tried setting the location to the Netherlands, as that's often a solution, but it doesn't work.
I finally connected the coaxial cable to the old decoder and then the decoder via HDMI to the new TV, and it works.
So yes, I could manage that way, but the goal was to get rid of that decoder since the new TV has it integrated.
Any idea what the problem might be, please?
Thank you in advance!

ModeratorHello,
Your television has two antenna inputs:
- an RF socket (DTT antenna)
- a satellite socket (dish)
Presumably, you have a dish and no "antenna"
In order to decode the signals from the dish, you need a CI+ card (Canal or Fransat)
You say you previously had a decoder... it is likely a satellite decoder that connects via HDMI and will give you the same image as before on your old screen.
To eliminate this decoder, you need to get a CI module
See

Moderator@ThomasddqNot enough aware of the problem...
But in my opinion, the card from your decoder will not work in the television.
Please contact the seller to explain the procedure for using the television with a CI module.
Moreover, the card you have is the result of a subscription that will need to be transferred for use with the CI module.
What subscription do you have? Canalsat? -
Moderator@baladur13Our friend has a Fransat environment (dish pointed at 5° West) which is the only broadcaster that can use a Fransat module (TNT SAT imposes its own external decoder) and this TV is compatible, see the description here:
https://www.lcd-compare.com/televiseur-LG43UP7500-LG-43UP7500.htm
So you need to buy a module + card here for example:

@Andy31200Thank you for the extra information,
so given the price of the module, I will keep the current satellite decoder. -
Moderator@ThomasddqBut you're welcome, and it's an economical solution.
