webOS updated, I think to 2023, on my C2 a couple of days ago. Since then the News option on the Sky News app no longer works, instead timing out. The Weather and Climate options still work, though.

I have deleted and reloaded the Sky News app, but the problem remains.

Does anybody have any suggestions of what I might try to get this working again, or is this something for LG, or Sky, to fix?

Started to work again for a while, and then stopped again, as above. Still just the News option, which times out; all the other options on the app work fine. 
 

And just my C2 from 2022, bought in 2023, is affected. My 2020 GX and my 2021 Nano-somethingorother work fine with News on this Sky News app.

The app works perfectly on my expensive AppleTV box plugged into one of the TV’s HDMI ports 😛

But once you have started the Apple TV, it’s an absolute bugger to get it to let go of the TV and yet still leave it switched on 😢

So my preferred workaround Is terrestrial 233.

Yes, I can do that, but the Apple box just sits there, still on. Any attempt to turn it off with its On/Off button, either turns it on again, or it does turn off, but the TV with it.

After which, when I turn the TV on again, it comes up on the Apple TV, not what I left it on.

If I CBA, I’d ask on an Apple forum how to avoid this, I suppose.

I noticed if I'm watching any of the LG's built in channels and then turn off the TV, the TV will always start up again on HDMI,

whether the external device is on or not.

If I have the TV set to "Live TV" (the tuner), and turn the TV off/on, it will start up at the Live TV.

I don't think you can change this behavior.

Regarding your AppleTV box, can't you turn it off (or put it to standby) by its remote control?

There a probably a setting in the TV that controls whether the TV should turn off when an HDMI device turns off,

but I've never seen this in mine (2017 uj series)

      EARC issue after replaced powerboard
      By Brendank
      I had an issue with powering on the tv in which pressing the lg power button on the first ocassion did not turn on my Oled C1 77 inch Tv.
      LG replaced the powerboard, however since the replacement I have an issue with intermittent audio dropouts via earc. 
      EARC has functioned previously on my Tv when connected to an Anthem 710 receiver and for a few months now on an Anthem AVM 70. 
      The set up has remained the same in terms of audio settings, passthough, match screen and sound set to bypass and I have tried multiple cables, switching the tv off, resetting earc, but I still have the issue. 
       
      It is very odd that after a replacement power board I have this issue. It almost seems like a comparability issue between the new board and the existing components or something else is wrong with the TV.
      Any ideas?

      I would like to update the OS on a relatively old TV (manufactured in 2015). So there are questions: how to find your version, where to download a new one and check its compatibility with my TV?
