49LF630V - Live TV issues

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.

I found a temporary solution for this. It seems that there are some troubles with decoding the "Travel Channel" and the "Travel Channels HD" channels. I removed them from the grid and now it's working fine. (the set would always freeze and become unresponsive only after I've reached that channel)

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.

      LG 65QNED92AUA issues/Bluetooth connection dropping
      By mesplint
      I have a LG 65QNED92AUA tv that has issues with the Bluetooth connection dropping off when connected to my earbuds. I believe the issue to be software related. LG has sent 2 technicians out to repair and the first technician changed the main board and Bluetooth transmitter which did not resolve the issue.
      There are similar issues with Bluetooth Connection from others.
      Since hardware replacement didn’t help and this is a known software-pattern issue, I would like push LG to specifically address it at the firmware/webOS level. I am unable to escalate to their software team and check if there’s a known patch or beta firmware for the QNED92 line. 
      For some reason this line of questioning is not available with in LG customer service.
       Please help!

      LG C5 TV/Denon ARC/CEC issues
      By KKTPA
      I have a Denon AVR hooked up to the HDMI 2 input on my LG tv. When I initially set it up, I was able to control the volume of the Denon receiver by using the LG remote. I enabled CEC Simplink and eARC on the TV and this allowed me to not only use the volume but also turn the receiver on and off automatically with the TV. Recently, my LG tv installed a software update and ever since that point, the TV reverts to TV Audio instead of HDMI 2 every time I turn the TV off and back on again. I then have to change the sound setting to HDMI and the volume control works perfectly. 

      Any tips? I already tried unplugging everything including the HDMI cables, turning CEC and eARK off and back on again, and reverting to all original settings but nothing seems to work.
      My Denon receiver does not have eARC support, not sure if that matters but I'd love to know the best way to set it up to control volume through one remote.

      DNS Resolver issues after Update
      By Daniel Buxton
      Hi,
      Since updating our OLED65G2PSA to 23.20.56, we experience sprodadic issues with the network where any app requiring network access shows the generic 'no network access' message.
      I have found that when this does happen, I can still PING the TV and connect to IP based web pages.  To fix I can either power cycle the TV or I can go into network settings and toggle off/on 'Set automatically' which must just be triggering something in the underlying OS to reload its DNS service.
      Setting a static IP makes no difference, setting a static DNS server makes no difference - it is clearly a software issue.  We have had a TV repair company come and replace the boards, which worked right up untill updating to 23.20.56 and beyond.
       
      Has anyone else experienced this, does anyone have a solution ?
