LG webOS Smart TV Discussion

I have paired bluetooth headphones with my lg smart tv using bluetooth surround sound/internal speakers.  It worked except the volume control for the tv overrides the volume on the headphones.  Is there a way to get the headphone volume to work making them louder while leaving the internal speakers as they are set?  Thank you

Bright 6,000 ANSI Lumens Laser Projectors Deliver 4K UHD and WUXGA Images, Smart Connection and More Convenient Features for Business SEOUL, Apr. 16, 2021 — LG Electronics (LG) has added two new outstanding offerings to its ProBeam lineup of business projectors. The new models – BU60PST and BF60PST – offer a number of enhancements and features that bring greater performance to the office or school. With great image quality and a plethora of useful features, these latest LG ProBeam models can help users better deliver important information and key messages in almost any setting, from the boardroom to the classroom. LG’s premium projectors are ideal for use in diverse setting, including corporate, retail, hospitality or education. Introduced last year, LG’s ProBeam brand of projectors are designed to deliver premium-level projection solutions for professional environments. Both new projectors provide improved brightness and high resolution for crisp, clear images to everyone in the room. Model BU60PST delivers a 4K UHD (3,840 x 2,160) image at a maximum of 300 inches (measured diagonally), approximately four times the clarity of WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200), the resolution offered by many business projectors currently on the market. Peak brightness of 6,000 ANSI lumens and contrast ratio of 3,000,000:1 translates to images that can be seen just as easily in daylight conditions as in a darkened environment.* The laser light source in both ProBeam models is rated for 20,000 hours, approximately four times longer than projectors with conventional lamps. With support for HDR10, both BU60PST and BF60PST can reproduce stunning HDR content as it was meant to be seen, with exceptionally deep blacks and rich, dynamic, colors. Like their predecessors (models BU50NST and BF50NST), LG’s latest ProBeam solutions are equipped with features that are perfect for business meetings and conferences. Users can connect either of the new projectors directly to a company or conference facility network via wired or wireless connection, eliminating the need for a laptop. Microsoft PowerPoint and Excel files can be opened directly from a USB device thanks to the built-in Office viewer. Screen sharing and screen mirroring make it especially easy to project content from devices running the Windows or Android operating system, giving users more options for displaying their presentations. “As offices and schools reopen, we expect there will be a growing demand for upgraded presentation tools after the Zoom era,” said Jang Ik-hwan, senior vice president and head of the IT business unit of LG Electronics Business Solutions Company. “Designed specifically for business and education environments, LG ProBeam projectors are adaptable solutions that can facilitate better communication and enhance productivity.” LG’s new 2021 ProBeam models will be available starting in the second quarter in North America, followed by key markets in Europe and Asia.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did try changing the DNS as you said but the result is the same.  At least it was something worth trying. Channel Plus is a nice little feature but hardly something I want to spend a lot of time trying to resolve, or jeopardize other things on this tv/cable/isp. Every other app and feature works fine so I will just leave it at that. Thanks again. (My tv may also be a really early smart tv, so maybe there are some limitations.)

@Ed in Chicago As these are Internet steeaming services, it may be that the new ISP does not have a good DNS server to resolve Content Delivery Networks  (CDN) well enough. If you go to your Network settings on your TV, and go to advanced settings, find DNS, and instead of "Auto" that will use your your router or ISP settings,  set it to the well-known (and very stable) public Google DNS service of 8.8.8.8 (Note that it is an IP address, so NO period at the end of that string). Power cycle your TV (unplug, NOT just standby) and retest your issue. If it still does not get that sorted out,  compare notes with your neighbours, to see if they had any different workarounds for the issue.

@Tom M I think you meant 42LB5800, and as that basic LG series does NOT use WebOS, it uses the "old smart interface", so there is no LG Store I beleive. It was replace by the LF5800 series.

@TECH GEEK If it is not in the LG store, then it is NOT available for your TV model, in your area/region. I think Hotstar needs later levels of WebOS and hardware to support its requirements.

@Dartie This might be related to an LG TV firmware update, that is supposed to be fixed in a later one. It is referenced in this article below. As you have not posted what LG TV model you have, I cannot check what firmware updates are valid or new or have a possible fix for your issue. A later support article below appears on the Channel5 (MY5) site, that quotes your exact known issue (plays adverts, but no programmes). They do not quote any firmware levels, so it might be best to raise a support call direct to LG in your country to ask when it is being fixed (this site is NOT RUN by LG): link hidden, please login to view

@Sandip1983 You can only install apps that are present in the LG STORE on your TV for your region/country. If it is not there, then you cannot install it. Also, I understand that the Thop TV app is for Android devices only. LG TV's use WebOS.
