Is this actually an official LG WebOS forum?
Alley Cat posted a question in LG webOS Smart TV Questions
There doesn't seem to be any replies whatsoever from anyone connected to LG, so just wondering. -
Can I avoid booting into cable TV mode?
Alley Cat replied to VickiB's question in LG webOS Smart TV Questions
.. That is me. One problem I've had with that is the default channel resets any time the TV loses power. Which doesn't seem right. -
I am running into this too. I can see my neighbor's LG C1 TV and they can see mine. I may have accidentally casted to theirs while I was trying to figure out what was going on. I can't find anyway to disable in the current settings.

The order might have been the reverse of that, I dunno. To block all channels you go into the "Safety" settings, enter the default password, and move them all to deleted and locked. Then you can still select a channel in the LG channels screen but it won't display, and it will start back up at that screen instead of the loud static. It would still be better if we could start directly to Apps but at least now I don't need to worry as much about blowing out my ears and speakers every time I turn on my expensive new TV.

Having the same issue, ever figure anything out?

I agree with this so much! My TV blasts loud static every time I start it up. At first it was a mild annoyance but now it's starting to drive me crazy!

Agree strongly with this. I don't have cable but I'm stuck with a $900 TV that blasts loud static every time I start it up.

I am currently using this TV only to view internet content. I am using the built-in wifi and ethernet connections. But the TV starts up into maximally loud static every time and I haven't found a way around this. Just about anything else would be better. It could autodetect and mute the static. Or it could start into the Apps screen. Or it could start into my preferred app. Or it could just start into a blank screen. Whatever. Just not loud, loud static. I read someone was able to set parental controls to get rid of the cable channels so it didn't start into static but that didn't work for me -- I deleted and locked all static channels but it still starts up into one of them. I guess more people have had success giving it an HDMI input and setting that as default -- I can't find the menu item to do that, maybe I need to actually connect an HDMI input? I don't have one readily available. It seems silly to spend money on an extra streaming box to mostly do things that are built into my $900 TV, because it was designed to blast static on my speakers every time it starts up. So -- are there any other possibilities to solve this problem?
