I have an LG A1 from a year or so ago and want to connect a satellite dish but there is no satellite option on the All Settings - General - Programmes - Tuning menu.

The only option is antenna. There is a connector for satellite so I assume there is a tuner and I have it connected to a dish.

I also have a C2 and even without any dish connected I can see satellite as a tuning option.

Any ideas?

Head over to https://www.lg.com/nz/support/manuals and see what the manual for your TV has to say.

The A1 is the ultra budget OLED display - wouldn't surprise me to find it doesn't have a satelite tuner at all.

Anything I say is the ramblings of an ill informed, opinionated so-and-so, and not representative of any of my past, present or future employers, and is also probably best disregarded.

The site lists it as having a "MPEG-2/4 DVB-T2/S2 (UHF & Satellite Tuner)"

Sometimes you need to separately enable the individual tuners elsewhere in the settings before you can actually tune them.

All the manuals include info on a satellite connection including mentioning satellite as well as antenna on the tuning menu.

This is from manuals available after entering the model number.

OK it's sorted. The country had been set to Australia. Once I changed to NZ the satellite options appeared.

Thanks for the help.
