Direct TV Now

Recommended Posts

I got a new C7 but no Direct TV Now App.  It been a whole year since the launch and is a major channel app  for Smart TV like Web OS to release.  Why does LG want to force their owners to use a third party streaming box like Apple TV, Amazon Fire or Roku?  "LG should go big or go home!" meaning LG's Web OS should have all the main apps in their inventory and not have their customers to go outside LG to buy another third party streaming device in order to be complete their viewing interests.

Sorry buddy. Gotta ask DirectTV that question. Lg does not make the 3rd party apps on their platform just like google doesn't make the 3rd party apps on android. Maybe petition them to add webOS supported app. My guess is that as OLED grows in popularity then webOS support will also grow....

      New Reality Competition Series Introduces a Smarter Home Lifestyle With
      LG Electronics, the Most Reliable Line of Home Appliances in the United States

      SEOUL, August 13, 2024 — LG Electronics (LG) is set to launch its episodic original series, Estate of Survival, on Prime Video via Prime Video Direct in nine countries, including the U.S., Canada, Argentina and Chile1 as well as LG Channels.
      This brand-new series, which features six exciting episodes, follows the residents of the Estate of Survival mansion as they compete against each other in a variety of challenging missions. By completing these missions, contestants earn home appliances and other items to furnish the spacious abode and, just as importantly, avoid elimination. The last resident standing wins the Estate of Survival ultimate prize: USD $100,000.
      In Estate of Survival, contestants compete to acquire household goods, including LG ThinQ-enabled appliances. LG’s appliances are designed to provide exceptional customer experiences and deliver the next-level convenience of the company’s smart lifestyle vision – the Zero Labor Home. Trusted by consumers worldwide, LG has been named the most reliable appliance brand in the U.S. by a leading consumer publication.2
      “An engaging and highly-entertaining new reality competition show with a unique premise, Estate of Survival is the ideal platform for showcasing the latest lifestyle innovations from LG, America’s most reliable line of home appliances,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company.
      The new series will introduce viewers to a wide range of sophisticated LG home appliances, including the InstaView refrigerator with LG’s exclusive Craft Ice (slow -melting, round ice), the wall oven and induction cooktop range featuring the Scan-to-Cook function, the Smart Top Control Dishwasher with 1-Hour Wash & Dry, QuadWash® Pro, TrueSteam® and Dynamic Heat Dry, the CordZero stick vacuum and the PuriCare air purifier.
      Once appliances are installed, contestants enjoy a multitude of time-saving benefits, from washing and drying a load of laundry in under two hours with the LG WashCombo All-in-One laundry solution, to faster cooking and clean up with LG ovens’ Scan-to-Cook and EasyClean features. Scan-to-Cook allows users to send the optimal cooking settings for select frozen meals straight to the oven simply by scanning the barcode on the product packaging.
      Always seeking new ways to make the home appliance customer experience even better, LG developed ThinQ Care, which provides helpful alerts to prevent incorrect appliance usage and smart diagnosis to reduce the need for costly and inconvenient service technician visits.
      The first two episodes of Estate of Survival will arrive on Prime Video via Prime Video Direct in the U.S. on August 12 and in several other countries soon after. LG TV owners will be able to enjoy the series for free on-demand via LG Channels – the company’s free, premium streaming service – in more than 9 countries, including the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Australia.3
      The series will also stream on LG Channels Showcase (Channel #999), LG’s first curated channel featuring fan-favorite movies and LG exclusives. Two episodes will premiere back-to-back weekly on Monday nights, starting Monday, August 12 at 8pm EST.

LG Electronics received the highest score among all manufacturers producing all eight products under evaluation, from 2012 to 2022 in “the most reliable appliances brand”.

      OK this is REALLY frustrating and annoying - as I understand, people have been asking for this feature for ages now, and I can't imagine why it would be so difficult to program an on/off switch.
      My neighbor is a really old dude, he has no idea what he's pressing on his phone. By some weird chance - and no, he's not doing this on purpose - he tries to establish a WiFi Direct connection to my TV like 850 times a day. As I don't use this feature, I'd like to be able to turn it off, because what if my other neighbors simply decided to annoy me? The TV is visible on like 5 floors in my building.
      It's not an option to turn off WiFi altogether, as I have no intention of running a 15-meter cable through my house.
      PLEASE for once just listen to what people have to say.
      Also, this latest WebOS update has made things like 70% slower, I have an abnormal delay whatever I press. No kind of resetting did anything to fix this.

      Hi, my needs are to show the video stream of the baby's room on LG TV, I've searched a lot for an RTSP player without success, there are lot of limitations on LG webos, unfortunately, but I succeed using a PC with Serviio and the native browser of the TV, it works but plays vide with about 20 seconds of delay.
      I don't now how to reduce this buffering, in this way I can't promptly go to him before he commits something dangerous, there is anything I can do to reduce buffering? Any news out about a player which supports RTSP? (like VLC). Than you

      For some reason, on my TV, random phones have the ability to prompt a pop-up asking if they can connect to my TV via wi-fi direct. This is, obviously, quite annoying while I'm in the middle of using my TV for something.
      I've never accepted access for any of these phones, and they're not on my wifi network. 
      My TV is a 43um7300pu and I'm running 5.00.02, which is the current software. 
      There appears to be no setting to disable connections via wifi direct in the menus.
      Is there anything I can do stop these annoying popups?

      I have a first generation LG 65EF9500 OLED TV with webOS 2.0. 
       
      While watching the new season of 4K Amazon TV show "Bosch", during playback after the first segment, the intro comes on and "SKIP INTRO" appears. When I press "skip intro", the screen goes black with a circular (working) icon that continues to circle indefinitely, and does not recover. It can be difficult to exit out sometimes requiring a reset of Amazon or even a power unplug to recover. I would consider this a major bug. Who and/or how can I report this bug so LG or Amazon so they can possibly address it. This is unacceptable.
