[Solved] Terrestrial TV - reception of only 6 channels, causes and solutions for LG 55SM8200PLA

Hello,

For some time now, my terrestrial television has only 6 channels and all of them are standard (TVP1, 2, Info).
We moved into the house about 3 months ago, and when I connected the antenna, everything worked fine.
The TV is adapted to the new reception system (LG 55SM8200PLA TV).

What could have gone wrong?

I had the same thing, turn on channel search.

I did a channel search and still find 6... ;(

We do not search automatically, but manually.
You need to manually select which MUX (the channel on which this MUX is broadcast)
we are looking and we want to watch.
Once we know what MUX we are looking for (it depends on where we live and what transmitter we have access to, information available on the Internet)
We check what its signal looks like on our TV or decoder.
If it shows that everything is OK, i.e. the signal strength and quality are OK, then click search and that's it.
If it shows us that the signal strength and quality are bad, then we need to take care of the antenna, because it is responsible for the correct signal.

What kind of house is this, what does the antenna installation look like, where does the reception come from? We need to know this to suggest something.
How to search and check the signal is described in #4.

Take a photo from the search option.

1-story house, location Bełchatów. The antenna on the roof and the cables go through the attic

Due to the change of transmitter locations in the Łódź region, modernization of the antenna installation is required.

You can search channels: k.46, 45,26,9

But how should I search these channels because I don't really understand

I wrote above.

I also have an LG, maybe a slightly different model, and I do it like this:
I press the gear button on the remote control
At the very bottom I have an icon with three dots (all settings), I click and other icons appear.
There I click on the antenna with the word channels.
After clicking, several options appear, including "Channel tuning and settings", of course we click on this inscription.
After clicking, we again have several options:
Automatic tuning.
Manual tuning.
Program mode.
Signal test.
I click on Program Mode and I have a choice.
Terrestrial TV
Cable TV
Satellite TV
Of course, I click on terrestrial, then on the word manual tuning.
And there I have a choice:
Digital terrestrial TV
Analog terrestrial TV
Of course, we click on digital, a field appears, a board where we can enter and manually select the channel we are interested in.
After selecting a given channel (of course, a single channel), in the lower right corner of my TV I can observe the strength and quality of the channel being broadcast.
When everything is OK, I press: search, add, update, or something similar, but unfortunately I cannot say what exactly because I do not have an antenna connected to the receiver.
The operation should be repeated for each channel separately.

There must be something wrong with the antenna, because when I searched manually, the signal strength was only 6%.

You just need to check if the antenna is properly positioned for your mux. If it is set correctly, you need to check the installation, and if not, replace the antenna.

The antenna cable is also very loose. It's very hard to get into the TV, and it's very easy to get into the wall box and almost falls out.

Case solved - my wife accidentally disconnected the cable when entering the attic.

Case solved - my wife, while entering the attic, accidentally disconnected the cable because it was loosely inserted into the power supply.
