  1. @drapec The "05.30.10" is the firmware version, and NOT the internal WebOS version - that should show up in the "About TV" in settings somewhere. Have a look at this in case it is relevant: http://kr.eguide.lgappstv.com/manual/w19/atsc/Contents/share/homeconnect_k_u_b/enga/w45__share__homeconnect_k_u_b__enga.html
  2. @Absenm OK, it is clearer to me now: AT&T U-verse was with the box, but has now stopped, and been replaced with the AT&T TV as an on-demand APP, but you have not yet got the APP on the LG TV, correct? You might get more mileage out of contacting AT&T to ask when the TV app will be rolled out to LG TV's and when. I suspect it will be to the newer flagship ones first, but they should be in a position to tell you.
  3. @Hridaynath Please post what TV model this is, and how old it is. Also, please post what happens, does the app start, and if so what error or problem occurs?
  4. @Absenm So, you are running the AT&T service via an external box, fed via your home internet, then to the TV via an HDMI cable from that box, yes? If that is correct, then what has it got to do with the LG TV or the WebOS? It does rather sound like you need to reach out to AT&T with the issue.
  5. @Absenm I assume you are asking about OTA (Over-the-Air) regular Live TV from your antenna, and NOT a cable TV provision? If so, this will vary from country to country, and then area within that country, for large countries like USA, Australia etc. It would be useful to know what LG model you are asking about, what country and area you are using it in, and if the TV was ever initally used in another area or country, as these are set for the country initially used in, as delivered to the dealer. No-one other than LG software developers can "see" inside the firmware, to glean the internal infomation about CDN servers used for On Demand stuff, or what "lists" are there for triggers to country codes usage and providers. If you can give examples of the incorrect Broadcast Providers Information you are seeing, others on here MAY have experience of this, and be able to offer more help. Otherwise, try raising your concerns with LG directly, in your country, giving them as much detail as possible to work with.
  6. @Rahulk5380 I spotted this on YouTube, but he states that it not work on all LG TV's. You do not state what model, or when you purchased it, so I am not sure if this even covers your model. Give it a go anyway, as it seems you have nothing to lose, and it cannot get any worse. No guarrantees offered of course, do this at your own risk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6TnPnP5vbk
  7. @montycs You are not alone in thinking that because of the site name used here, that it is an arm of LG. Sorry to dissappoint you, but this is ONLY a peer-to-peer help/advice forum for enhusiasts who own and use LG TV's, concentrating on the LG WebOS functionality, update issues, usage issues, possible bug workarounds etc. This site has NO input into LG itself, and NO business conection, and NO lobbying or support request capability. So, THAT is why there is silence, THIS IS NOT LG - you had best contact your local LG support in your country, and see if you can get any response from your questions on this matter. Apologies though, if I have mis-interpreted your post, and you are just venting on here about LG.

    @Noelz No, you will not be able to do that, a smart TV (LG ones anyway) do not have an interface to accept text from external keyboards. It does NOT have PC/Tablet like capabilities. If you need it to create website accounts, then it is often easier to create the account and user details on a laptop/PC first, then once done, you only need the username/login pair ONE TIME via the soft-keyboard method for first-time login, as most app accounts (and some browser accounts) remember those details.
  9. @Ken Gendron It is well known that LG (and other manufacturers) rarely make updates to the in-built browsers in older TV models. The problem is that they cannot update them to cover modern technology, when that technology has FAR surpassed the fixed harware in the TV (chip-sets, memory, CPU power etc), especially in an item that is over 5 years old. What functions or web-sites do you need to use on the TV, that you cannot use properly with a Laptop or PC, or iPAD?
  10. @mvrvma2 Please review this Telenet user notice, it may be very relevant to your issue: https://press.telenet.be/telenet-to-replace-oldest-decoders-by-newer-devices#
  11. @catraveler I doubt that LG will provide a fully fledged browser with a password manager, like the excellent Firefox has. And you can forget about "trying to add one" - smart TV's are very locked down, and NOTHING like PC's are, since APP's have to be tested by LG to be proven to be suitable with the specific TV model capabilities (fixed by the hardware chip-sets) and fixed memory boundaries, API calls to the WebOS etc. So, if it is NOT in the LG STORE in your country, for your TV, then you cannot add anything else outside of that "walled garden". You might want to wait for the LG G1: "That may be worth it for the sequel to last year’s best TV, although you’ll have to be okay with the fact that this [the C1] is no longer being touted as LG’s hands-down best for 2021. The new LG G1 series – with its luminance-enhanced OLED evo display technology – is out to claim the crown. Either way, it will be best to check with your local country LG Support for availability, or one of your local TV dealers, they might know.
  12. @Claudio Billa The UK has an exclusive SKY box service, but other external things might get you the streaming you need in other countries. I did NOT see Miracast, or Amazon Fire Stick mentioned though, for connecting to your TV. See: https://www.whathifi.com/au/advice/f1-live-stream-how-to-watch-the-2021-formula-1-in-4k-f1-season-pass "F1 TV Pro is available through the F1 TV website, iOS/Android apps, Roku TV and other mobile devices. Later in the year, it will be upgraded with cast support for both Google Chromecast and Apple AirPlay 2. F1 also plans to up the streaming quality to 1080p at 50fps."
  13. @neisman I missed the part where you said the on your oled55bxpua TV, you already selected Bluetooth + Internal speakers, but that fails to work. That sounds like a bug. Have you ensured that your TV has the latest firmware, just released on 17th March, as 03.21.80 ? If not done via OTA, you can download it on a PC and put it on a USB stick. LG often fix other minor things, but only document the major issues fixed, so you might get lucky. See here to get the update and instructions: https://www.lg.com/ca_en/support/product/lg-OLED55BXPUA
  14. @neisman You might want to review this site below, and if their adaptor is available in your country (if needed), and/or a usable alternative to connecting up if it looks like a viable solution. I have seen it on AMAZON for various countries I think. https://avantree.com/au/blog/how-to-connect-wireless-headphones-to-lg-tv.html
  15. @mvrvma2 I have never used a Telnet PCMCIA card, so cannot comment on the capabilities of those, and the ability to detect channels. Were BOTH TV's sourced from Belgium, and set up for use in Belgium? Are BOTH PMCIA cards the same type and part number/revision, and purchased to support your country channels? I have seen on here, a few posts where channel detection was different between TV's in the same house, and at least one of those posts the user was trying to use one of those internal "amplified room antennas" that NEVER perform how they say they will perform, and others had old and weak roof antennas (that either had old and oxidised elements and connections, or were not a "wide range" frequency design, to pick up newer channel frequency assignments). Owners often forget that the antenna is the most important "signal receiving element" in the whole "setup", and they spend thousands on a new TV, forgetting about that thing on the roof that goes on forever... ☺️ TIP: the antenna will need to have a good GAIN figure, and a low-loss cable feeding you room antenna sockets, to share between 2 TV's. It is worth checking that your antenna coax wall sockets have good connections/wiring inside the back of BOTH of them, and coax cables to the TV's have good terminations at both ends. It is VERY IMPORTANT to ensure that if the coax plugs have been "user installed", that the outer braid copper wires are NOT shorting to the centre conductor (a very common issue), and that the solid copper centre conductor has a proper connection inside the hollow centre contact. I usually solder them carefully, running a little solder into the tube, to ensure there is no contact oxidation and contact resistance. Of course, if they are pre-moulded ends, then forget that as an issue (unless they are low quality cables).
  16. @Venubr I very much doubt it, but you could ask LG India directly. This is ONLY a peer-to-peer help enthusiasts forum, for thw WebOS, it has NO connection or input into LG support. Try to get a set-top-box or PVR if you really need that.
  17. @MinakshiSamvedi Check that the TV is connected to the same WiFi band (2.4GHz or 5GHz) as the Home Hub, and then see if the hub can see the TV.
  18. @Florian Miess I think it is now called "Favourites". Try following this YT Video below, covers WEBOS5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_YvOda1Vyo
  19. @Hblone and others watching this. It seems that for those countries where LG has not paid the DVR/Recording tax, they have gone to great lengths to stop this functionality, and even if you use the special tool menus to get into special settings, if you get these wrong, you can render the TV useless for Live TV if you get the tuner fequency ranges messed up, and cannot get them back to your proper settings. In any event, even if you DO manage to get Recording capability active, the Premium apps will still NOT allow recording (notably Netflix, for obvious DRM/Copyright reasons). You best solution, is to find a set-top-box, or external DVR that is designed to work in your country, and pay for any premium or channel pack contents you need. I hear that the FETCH Mighty box is very good. However, I am not sure if there are any limitations in some countries. You CAN get an Italian "channel pack" though: https://www.fetchtv.com.au/packages/world-packs
  20. @Dre First, please post what the LG TV model it is, AND what type of remote it uses. If it is a "Magic Remote" type please post the model number on it, as there a different types. Second, you need to post a much better description of what the problem is. I am not sure what you mean by the "log channels". What functions of the TV DO work (i.e. can you get normal digital FTA "live TV" channels via your antenna input). Does your remote let you go to the "home" or apps list/menus on your TV? Which apps work, and which do not. Please post any error numbers, or better still, a screenshot form a smart phone, of the problem, and the steps that reproduce the problem. How is it connected to the internet - WiFi or LAN (Ethernet) cable?
  21. @siddhu If it is not available in the LG STORE on your TV in your country, then there is no other way to install it. By the way, the "04.06.40" is the FIRMWARE version, and NOT the WebOS version. You most likely have WebOS 2.0 or 2.5.x on that model.
  22. @Devanshu Firstly, this is just an LG WebOS user peer-to-peer enthusiast forum, and has NO connection or affiliation or control over what LG do, or might do. Secondly, the current firmware of 04.06.40 is NOT the WebOS version, ONLY the firmware version, that will have an enterely different WebOS release level related to it, or embedded in it. Th settings -> about TV should show your firmware and WebOS levels seperately, and I suspect your model will be around 3.5.x if you are lucky. Thirdly, as your TV is a 2015 model, and later WebOS levels are have harware dependencies, you are VERY unlikely to EVER see any updates to the WebOS itself.
  23. @Sune Interesting, is your TV a C series OLED like @Kuriko TV model? It would be useful to find a common denominator here (a pattern), to see if this is related to a recent firmware update to your LG TV models. His TV is an OLED65C97LA, and I see that the latest firmware for that was dated 12/08/2020 (hopefully European format, NOT USA!). "[05.00.10] 1. Add link for LG TV contents policy notice (German Only) 2. Software update contains minor bug fixes" If it IS from August last year, I would be very surprised if the "minor bug fixes" would have caused a problem to surface now in 2021! Unless the in-built player in the TV has had an update? Are you using the "Smartshare" TV app, or something else?
  24. @Edgardo Romero You have not posted what LG TV model you have, and what it's fimware level is (often very useful to help with some types of issues). Also, is it connected to the internet via a LAN cable, or WiFi, and are you using the 2.4GHz band, ar the 5GHz band? Is the WiFi signal strength good where the TV is (check the bars in the fan-shaped symbol on a smart-phone near the TV)? The error sounds like an out-of-date Security Certificate, either inside the APP itself, or the web-site that it is using to get the multimedia/video whatever. Check that the APP is up to date, and that you have the latest firmware in your TV.
  25. @bdv This is ONLY an LG TV WebOS enthusiasts peer-to-peer forum, and has NO direct connection or affiliation with LG, the manufacturer, and has NO control or ability to ask or lobby for solutions or fixes. If you feel strongly about the lack of APPS (or a specific APP) in your country, raise a support ticket with LG in your country, documenting your concerns and "wish-list".
