I have a new LG 32lm630bpla. On auto tune channels 106 to 114 are not registering.
I have plugged another TV (Samsung) into the Aerial socket and it works fine. The Aerial is about 1 year old and supplies 4 other sets in the house with no problems. I have reset tv and also run a retune with no aerial attached and then retuned. I have also all external devices Blue Ray player and the external HDD.
The signal strength/Quality for uhf 35 is 90 and 100. Transmitter Crystal Palace some 12 miles away.
Any ideas would be gratefully received!

Some back ground info. There are 14 houses in my close built some 30 years ago (P Code KT20 5RS) none of which have external aerials. I calculate that my 2 year old interior attic aerial which has a powered amplifier attached with 8 outlets is 612 ft above sea level and that the transmitter is 18.5 Km distant. I am told there is a line of sight to the transmitter but have not been on the roof myself and at 83 I do not intend to try! At the rear of the house where the land starts to fall away towards Epsom Downs (the Grand Stand is just visible from upstairs) 2 houses have external aerials facing North.
This morning I tried auto tune with the same result. Nothing after 105. I then tried Manual tuning C55 as you suggested but again no signal. I then tried manual C35 and Voila! It found the missing 6 new channels which I have added to The memory. The guide on the LG is headed Freeview Play. I am not clear what this as opposed to Freeview. A disappointing introduction to LG.
Many thanks for your help
