Home Depot and Lowes can have the ANT751 in stock in the store , no matter what the Home Depot and Lowes web sites say.

I looked up the model number of the LG Tv on the Internet , did not find information about the interference situation.

However , looks like the the LG Tv has , Wi-Fi .

Can the Wi-Fi be switched off , and does that eliminate the interference??
I thought of that too but the Wifi is already disabled and not connected to my in home network. Perhaps I will grab an ANT751 to try, should be able to return it after.

Until you can pin-point it's source, eliminating the interference is impossible.

If the cost of servicing the LG unit is excessive, then eliminating the TV may be the most cost effective solution...
I was actually thinking of just getting rid of it too. I knew I should have bought the Samsung that day, both were the same price & size. I understand any answer is just a guess but would you think it's a problem with just my LG, or all LG TV's of that same model? I only bought it in September so its still under the manufactures warranty but I know they will laugh at me if I ask them to repair my tv when my only complaint is that it blocks 2 VHF channels.

There is a guy two towns over who is really good at repairing electronics. Perhaps I can ask him for a spectrum analyzer.
