49LF630V - Live TV issues


Mihai Simionescu

Question

Hello,

 

A couple of weeks ago I purchased an LG TV, model name 49LF630V. (it has WebOS 2.0, version 3.20.something)

 

I configured the live TV using a cable feed and a CI+ card that I received from the service provider.

 

It all worked fine until yesterday, when all of a sudden I couldn't really change the channel anymore (I tried using the TV controls, not only the remote, both didn't work). Aside from not being able to change the channel, whenever I tried chaning input (HDMI 1 - PC, HDMI 2 - Chromecast) it would just freeze. On top of that, the Guide app won't load. 

 

To me, it just seems like there's an issue with how the TV reads the CI slot. I tried using a set top box instead of the CI slot, and that works fine (all of the above-mentioned issues are not present), but the box is ancient and I am not getting any HD channels (1st world problems, I know).

 

Has anyone encountered anything similar? Is there something wrong with the TV or the service provider?

 

Anyway, thanks.

Mine is stuck precisely on travel channel. Unfortunately i can't access programme tuning or programme manager in order to delete it. Any ideas?

L.E. - turning on the tv with the antenna cable taken out will allow access to programmes menu and to switching channels. Just skip to a working channel and plug the antenna cable back.

I have the same problem on LG 55UF7787, RDS, Romania.

It started a few days ago and the Travel Channels were involved, as well.

 

I also suspect the "My Programs" feature which had Travel Channel HD added as a favorite.

 

Removing the antenna cable and restarting the TV is a good workaround. Rescanning the channels does not seem to help.

      All my channels have gone. 
      Firstly it started with a bad broken image and sound in a few changes. Then some disappeared. 
      I went to do a automatic tuning to see if I could get them back.
      Eventually instead of recovering the missing ones I lost all channels.
      I have retuning, replugging and even reseting the TV and nothing....
      I phoned LG and they did remotely everything I did do, and no results.
      They told I need to repair my TV.
      How is that possible? One day all normal and then all gone.....
      Please can any one help me ???
       
      Thanks

      When I try to watch replay or live TV from Belgian casts in the browser I have error messages:
      - for Auvio (RTBF) it is purely incompatible
      - for RTLPlay , the message says that the browser version is too old and has to be updated.
      But...
      It is impossible to install alternative browser on LG smart TV, or to update the LG one.
      WebOS is not really a good idea, or at least it should be more "open" for the apps that are not proposed or updated.
      I know it is possible to share from other machines (tablet, phone or computer) but I want to use my TV "alone" too!
      Do you have a solution (other then buying a chromecast or equivalent device?)
      Thank you

      hi Guys,
      My lg tv when set to live tv will show full screen for around 20 seconds and then show a very small shrunk screen in the top left corner of the channel
      i can switch channels but the screen stays mall
      netflix displays in full screen
      picutre test shows full screen
      i have tried resetting the tv, power cycling, changing cables (coax) and nothing is making a difference.
      anyone have any ideas on what causes this?

      I have a Sonos ARC Center Speaker connected to the HDMI eARC port, when this happens bluetooth function on TV does not stay activated, is there a solution?

      I have a Marantz Cinema 70s (Version  3400-8281-E054-8790-DTS Version  3.90.50.82) and an LG G29 83"(03.33.65)which has propatly an HDMI handshake problem.

      Both devices have Arc/eARC turned on/off and the HDMI cable (2.1) is connected to the ARC/eARC output on the Marantz and to the HDMI2 Arc/eARC input on the LG.

      I can't get sound from the Web OS / Amazon Prime transferred to my Marantz...I have to switch manually the TV to speakers from the TV.  It can't be.
      With all other devices connected to the Marantz, the sound works perfectly.
      I spoken allready to the German Marantz  and also to LG Support. Marantz told me it was known that there could be a handshake problem. I should deactivate eARC on both the Marantz and the LG and then switch it back on first on the Marantz and then on the TV.

      LG told me to unplug the TV for 2 minutes.

      Does anyone have any ideas what I can do? Maybe I have overlooked some important settings.


      thx for your help & advises in advance !
