I just bought a lg b7 oled and have a problem. I dont subscribe to cable so I wont ever be using it on this tv. Every time I start the tv it loads the OS and the cable-less static comes on the screen and BLASTS through the speakers. The tiles for netflix, hulu, etc are at the bottom so I choose one of those. How do I stop the tv from defaulting to turning on the "tv" that clearly doesnt exist? Ive tried deleting the tile for live tv, and even moving it to the far right side but still every time I turn n the tv - static with the menu on the bottom.

Settings → All Settings → Programme → Programme Tuning and Settings → Programme List Update → Off This issue happens because your TV is trying to search for updates within the TV's channel listings. This was something that was implemented with the latest software versions because the governing body who look after the channels wanted the TV to scan for updates...

Unfortunately I am in America and this is not an option on our menus. I posted this on a few forums and called LG twice. I either have to turn my TV  on to blaring static every time,  or have it turn on to a HDMI input  screen where a pop up window asks if I want to  search for an input every time. The reason LG gave me both times was that a TV is built to use cable, and that won't  be changing any time soon. I will be returning this TV for another brand.

I have a C7, no cable, just like you. Mine has never done what you describe so there must be some option to prevent it. Not entirely sure what it would be, but I have 'Channel Plus' and 'Live Plus' turned off. It defaults to the Home Theater input.

First I had live tv using an antenna. Now I have a set-top box. In the connection manager menu (I think) I told the system I had a set-top box on HDMI-2 and now the TV always starts on HDMI-2.

I have a b7. There are no channel plus or live plus option in any menu.

If I do that it opens to a pop up screen asking if I want to search inputs.

i got this reply on my post, not sure if its relevant to you but:

 

I FINALLY found a fix for this. Well, really a workaround, but it solved the problem for me. I went into parental settings and set a passcode lock on the live tv and component inputs. Now, my tv starts up perfectly on whatever HDMI input I last used.

In Device Connector I selected 'decoder'. After this I also changed the functions of the Magic Remote.

Now I select 'Input' I can see the live TV is still selectable, but al the options are grey.

Also in 'setup' I can not select channels any more.

 

Of course I don't remember exactly what I have done 2 years ago, or maybe they have changed the options in newer version of WebOS. The only thing I can think of is reseting the TV and while going to the options select you don't have an antenna.

      Allow to play old .avi files, please!
      By Digard
      I know this was mentioned before. I'd like to support this.
      WebOS is such a great and versatile system; a real media centre. BUT: I have a number of video files that it simply doesn't play. VLC, e.g. does, but is not available. 
      To me it is such a pity that I have to have a system in parallel (actually a PC!) to play those files, with VLC, and then switch to HDMI to watch the clips on my TV. This doesn't look very much like 2026, as far as I am concerned.
      To give an example, in which nothing is spectacular, and yet it doesn't play:
      Format                                   : AVI Format/Info                              : Audio Video Interleave Format settings                          : BitmapInfoHeader / WaveFormatEx File size                                : 360 MiB Duration                                 : 51 min 6 s Overall bit rate                         : 986 kb/s Frame rate                               : 23.976 FPS Writing application                      : VirtualDubMod 1.5.4.1 (build 2178/release) Writing library                          : VirtualDub build 24259/release Video ID                                       : 0 Format                                   : MPEG-4 Visual Format profile                           : Advanced Simple@L5 Format settings                          : BVOP1 Format settings, BVOP                    : 1 Format settings, QPel                    : No Format settings, GMC                     : No warppoints Format settings, Matrix                  : Default (H.263) Muxing mode                              : Packed bitstream Codec ID                                 : XVID Codec ID/Hint                            : XviD Duration                                 : 51 min 6 s Bit rate                                 : 752 kb/s Width                                    : 512 pixels Height                                   : 384 pixels Display aspect ratio                     : 4:3 Frame rate                               : 23.976 (24000/1001) FPS Color space                              : YUV Chroma subsampling                       : 4:2:0 Bit depth                                : 8 bits Scan type                                : Progressive Compression mode                         : Lossy Bits/(Pixel*Frame)                       : 0.160 Stream size                              : 275 MiB (76%) Writing library                          : XviD 1.1.0 (2005-11-22) Audio ID                                       : 1 Format                                   : AC-3 Format/Info                              : Audio Coding 3 Commercial name                          : Dolby Digital Codec ID                                 : 2000 Duration                                 : 51 min 6 s Bit rate mode                            : Constant Bit rate                                 : 224 kb/s Channel(s)                               : 2 channels Channel layout                           : L R Sampling rate                            : 48.0 kHz Frame rate                               : 31.250 FPS (1536 SPF) Compression mode                         : Lossy Delay relative to video                  : 23 ms Stream size                              : 81.9 MiB (23%) Alignment                                : Split across interleaves Interleave, duration                     : 42  ms (1.00 video frame) Interleave, preload duration             : 500  ms Service kind                             : Complete Main Dialog Normalization                     : -27 dB compr                                    : 0.53 dB dynrng                                   : 0.53 dB dialnorm_Average                         : -27 dB dialnorm_Minimum                         : -27 dB dialnorm_Maximum                         : -27 dB Please, add-on to media player whatever is necessary to play such files!
      Better yet: add something like VLC or at least Dragon. Make it available; even if the warranty was void, I'd prefer to load such an application.
      Thanks for pondering!

      YouTube app problems, please help!
      By Simon1973
      I recently bought a 50NANO90A6B TV and so far I have to say it's a fantastic upgrade from my old Sony 40".
      However, I've one small niggle problem (only had the TV since Sunday)... The YouTube app doesn't seem to want to work! it shows the logo with a spinny circle, then the logo starts again with the spinny circle... this just repeats over and over.
      All other apps (iPlayer, Jellyfin, Plex, ITV, CH4 etc...) work as does the LGTV app, so the WiFi connection is fine!
      I've uninstalled and reinstalled the YouTube app a few times, but it does the same each time!
      Anyone know how I can sort this? any other suggestions for fixing it!
      I'm currently using my Chromecast with GoogleTV for YouTube at the moment.
      I'm in the UK by the way! And the TV is set to that, in all the relevant settings locations.

      Sound and picture out of sync when screen mirroring from my iPhone to my LGQNED70A6A TV
      By chris7ben
      The sound and picture are out of sync when screen mirroring from my iPhone 16 Pro to my LGQNED70A6A TV, using the internal speaker. I have tried all the recommended tips in the settings to cure the issue with no success. However, when I isolate the TV from the mains supply for 60 seconds and restart it, the syncing issue is cured but degrades after a day or so. My iPhone software is up to date and there is no firmware upgrade available for the TV. My LinkSys router has a full fibre connection. The only connection into the TV is the mains supply. Any help much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
