So for everyone that has a smart TV, do you still have cable service with a cable box? I'm in the US, so mostly interested to see if people are migrating away from Comcast, Verizon Fios, and services like that with a cable box to streaming services like Direct TV Now, Hulu, Youtube TV, Sling, etc. 

I have Verizon Fios currently and need to use their equipment. I'm noticing more and more that we aren't watching scheduled tv anymore and just "whenever" watching. My two young children mostly watch youtube these days.  So I'm thinking of youtube TV maybe? Not sure.

I cut the cord about two months ago.  No more $275/mo cable bills.  Cancelled Comcast and order Verizon internet (1GBt) for $89.99.  Added Youtube TV and Philo and I have almost everything I had before for about $146.  Quality is just as good and I have not been throttled.  You can add, drop  HBO, Showtime whenever it suits you.  There has been a bit of a learning curve but not terrible.  BTW, I still use my apple TV to stream.  I'm not thrilled with the quality of native youtube TV app.  It's probably a setting, I just haven't figured it out just yet.

      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!

      I recently updated the firmware on my  LG43UH610V.  Now I constantly get "Wired Lan cable disconnected" / "Wired network is connected" messages even while watching a video file from my NAS. The TV is connected and using the network while getting these messages. It has always been on a fixed IP address on the LAN.

      Issue
      Whenever I start any video—whether it’s streaming apps, HDMI input, or a USB movie—the SC9S plays for a minute or two, then suddenly loses connection. Audio instantly falls back to the TV’s internal speakers, and the TV acts like the soundbar no longer exists on the eARC port. The soundbar display still shows “eARC” (sometimes flips to “OPT/ARC” for a second), but no sound.
      Temporary Fix
      The only thing that gets audio back is power-cycling the TV (standby isn’t enough; full reboot required). After that, the bar reconnects… until the next random dropout. This can happen multiple times during a single movie, which is a great way to kill the vibe.
      What I’ve Tried
      New HDMI 2.1-certified cable (same result, so original cable seems fine).
      Disabled Quick Start+ and Simplink in the TV settings, then re-enabled.
      Factory-reset both TV and soundbar.
      Tested ARC instead of eARC—works, but no Atmos and same occasional dropout.
      Plugged the soundbar into a different power outlet (in case of power spike).
      Observed Patterns
      Dropouts happen sooner with Dolby Atmos or DTS content, but even stereo YouTube videos eventually cut out.
      No obvious heat buildup; bar is in open air, front facing.
      Happens whether soundbar is wall-mounted or on its stand.
      Questions for the Hive Mind
      Anyone else seeing eARC instability with the SC9S on the UP77 series?
      Could this be a handshake timing bug on the TV’s HDMI board?
      Any hidden service-menu tweaks or firmware betas worth trying?
      Should I just RMA the bar, or is the TV the real diva here?
      Appreciate any insight—my couch and I thank you in advance!

      From Iconic Football Stadiums in Europe to Legendary Baseball Parks in the U.S.,
      LG’s Advanced Display Technologies Are Redefining the Live Sports Experience

      SEOUL, June 23, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is further solidifying its leadership in the global digital signage market by delivering differentiated products and integrated management solutions tailored for the sports and entertainment sectors.
      LG is set to supply a total of 1,700 square meters of indoor and outdoor signage to Roig Arena in Valencia, Spain – scheduled to open this September. Set to become Spain’s largest indoor stadium with a capacity of 20,000, the sports venue will serve as the new home of Valencia Basket Club, an elite professional basketball team.
      A signature feature of the venue will be The Eye – a 300-square-meter, eye-shaped LED screen mounted on the façade near the main entrance, designed to captivate visitors with its striking visual presence.
      Inside the arena, LG’s installations will include a central scoreboard, a massive LED screen spanning 76 meters in width, a secondary screen behind the stage and a ribbon board encircling the venue – collectively delivering a dynamic and immersive spectator experience.
      With signage installations in around 200 countries, LG continues to strengthen its position in the commercial display sector, supplying signage to a wide range of sports venues, from large-scale stadiums to local training facilities.
      The company is especially gaining traction in Europe and North America – regions home to many of the world’s most popular sports. LG’s high-resolution signage provides vivid, lifelike visuals, while the LG Business Cloud platform enables streamlined remote management, tailored content distribution and effective advertising solutions – delivering added convenience for B2B clients and unlocking new revenue opportunities.
      In Spain, LG signage has become the preferred choice among professional football clubs. A notable example is Atlético Madrid’s home stadium, the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, which features a high-performance LED screen covering over 2,000 square meters and an LED ribbon board extending more than 400 meters. At Real Sociedad’s Reale Arena, LG not only installed an LED scoreboard and ribbon board but also supplied over 800 signage units of various sizes for the stadium’s player facilities.
      In 2021, LG equipped Wembley Stadium – the largest stadium in the UK with a capacity of 90,000 – with an 840-square-meter LED screen measuring 57 meters wide and 7.5 meters high. LG signage is also featured at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium, Bristol City’s Ashton Gate Stadium, Eintracht Frankfurt’s Deutsche Bank Park in Germany and Club Brugge’s Jan Breydel Stadium in Belgium.
      In the U.S., LG recently supplied approximately 842 square meters of signage to Fenway Park – home of the Boston Red Sox – including a main scoreboard and a large ribbon board. Earlier this year, LG also installed a ribbon board at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.
      According to global market research firm Omdia, the global LED signage market – including sports-related facilities – is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 13.4 percent, surpassing KRW 14 trillion by 2029.
      “The global signage market is increasingly recognizing LG’s ability to deliver total solutions that enhance the B2B customer experience,” said Paik Ki-mun, head of Information Display Business at the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. “We remain committed to delivering differentiated display solutions that elevate live experiences across a broad spectrum of industries, with sports being a key focus.”

      This distinctive art piece invites the audience to engage with an AI companion (Eva) who listens, reflects and evolves through anonymous conversations displayed on screen. By interacting with Eva, participants can shape a living narrative that examines the boundaries of trust, identity and connection in the age of artificial intelligence.

      Among the exhibition’s esteemed visitors was the Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to Singapore, Hong Jin-wook, who was eager to meet representatives of LG Singapore due to his shared passion for art and technology.

      Recording no less than 41,000 visitors in its third year at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre, ART SG 2025 made greater waves in Singapore’s art scene this year. This partnership marks another step in redefining how users engage with art in an increasingly digital world, offering an open invitation to explore the evolving narratives emerging from this dynamic relationship.
