  1. Thanks for your quick reply Alex. Well, that makes a whole lot of sense. Apologies- your site looked like LG's "official" site, so my bad. This is my first LG TV, and until recently, I expected that the WebOS would be updated at the same rate as the other TV software, and haven't had any issues running a wide range of streaming apps, including Vudu 4k and Netflix 4k and several others. This CBS All Access seems to be an outlier in terms of technical requirements. After doing a bit more research, it appears that I'm outta luck with regards to upgrading to WebOS 4.0 or higher. My model, OLED 65C6P-U is a 2017 set that's running version is: 3.3.4-3714 (dreadlocks-dharug). I was hoping there was some kind of work around in the community here to update it, even if it's not the "officially" approved method. I figured that its Linux-based and some folks out here may have figured out a way to upgrade the OS, especially if its a smaller, incremental update (like 3.34 to 4.0). It just makes me wonder if LG arbitrarily chose 2018 as a cut off for upgrading the WebOS. It's really frustrating, as unlike a phone you replace every 2 years or so, with a TV you tend to hold onto 5-10 years. Would you know if there's a work-around out there, maybe something I could dload to a USB stick and update that way? If, as I fear, there is no way to update the WebOS, would you know if there is a work-around where I could cast CBS All Access through my Ipad Pro or iPhone 7plus. I also have a MacBook Pro, but its a late 2013 model. There appears to be several 3rd party apps in the LG Content Store that offer a variety of device/display sharing, but I'm not sure which app would allow me to cast the CBS App. Any assistance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Aside from this WebOS limitation on updating, I've loved the picture quality and have been satisfied with the Smart TV features LG has- although you'd probably agree that at this point there really should be much more standardization between mfr's on the software, CODECs, especially regarding HDR, Dolby, and other 4K features. Thanks in advance for your feedback- I appreciate it. Sincerely, Bob Gearing
  2. I have the C8 OLED 4K HDR AI Smart TV - 65" and cannot find CBS All Access in the LG Content Store. I also can't find which version of WEB OS I have. I have my TV set to automatic updates, it is connected via ethernet and believe everything is up to date. Is this not available to the US Market? Also, I have registered my model TV: OLED 65C6PU at the LG main site, but I can't check if my TV is compatible with the WEB OS version for CBS ALL ACCESS. I purchased this late 2017, so I think my TV can run it- I use all the other streaming services through the Web OS- Vudu, Hulu, Prime, Netflix 4k, etc. Any suggestions? This site- lgwebos.com should be able to recognize my User ID info with the main site. I have the same username, etc. but it doesn't seem to pull my TV up. If anyone can help me figure this out, I'd really appreciate it. I'm fairly up on the latest technology, but this dual sites that don't recognize each other (or my registered equipment) is really frustrating! Thanks in advance- Anyone!
