Check cable connections: Make sure all cables, including the antenna, coaxial cable, or any other input cable, are properly connected to both the TV and the signal source (such as a cable or satellite box).

Verify the input source: Ensure that the 42LT380C is set to the correct input source (HDMI, DVB-T, cable, etc.). You can switch between different sources using the remote control.

Check the antenna or cable connection: If you are using an antenna, ensure it is correctly oriented and there are no obstacles blocking the signal reception. If you have a cable service, check for any service interruptions in your area.

Rescan channels: In the settings menu of your LG 42LT380C, look for the option to tune or search for channels. This may be necessary if the channel setup has changed or if you have moved the antenna.

Check on another TV: If you have another TV at home, try to see if it also has signal issues. This can help you determine whether the problem is with the specific TV or the signal source in general.

Since the LG 42LT380C does not have wireless connectivity, to send the image signal from a mobile phone, tablet, or computer, you need to connect a device such as Chromecast, FireStick, Xiaomi Mi TV Stick, or any other dongle with Android TV or Roku TV to mirror the screen via Wi-Fi.
