I am looking to install the 'HBO NOW' apps on my LG Smart TV. The list for the United States does not contain that apps.  Is it possible to still get it?  

Thanks, Joe

I believe that someone elsewhere on the forum stated that Samsung have secured the rights to have HBO NOW on their platform, so LG and others are not able to release it in your region.

TLC has the HBO NOW app, so it is not exclusive to one brand. Just upgraded to LG, running into same issue not having HBO app.

Hi David,

As I said I believed it to be the case that Samsung had the rights in the US to HBO, but maybe this has now changed.  If this is the case it will be down to HBO to authorize LG to release the app to the appropriate market.

Been waiting since Dec. 2017 for the HBO app.  Gave up; I don't think they are going to bother.  LG keeps saying its up to HBO,  and HBO says its up to LG.    I went and got a ChromeCast, has all the apps you'll need.  I got the ChromeCast Ultra, which can be wired via CAT5 cable, so you don't tie up Wifi.   Just plugged it into an empty USB port on the TV.

Sony and some other manufacturers also have the app on some of their models. It definitely is not a Samsung exclusive.

      Change Area to Download USA Apps
      By glendvd100
      Hi there, I have the following tvs:
      OLED55C26LD
      OLED42C24LA
      And I'm trying to change the area code using the service remote, so I can download apps from USA (I'm currently in the UK), such as Max, HULU etc.  I'm trying the codes which are bandied around the internet, but the area just stays as EU.  I've noticed on youtube videos etc that the older models with the older OS have no issued with this, but mine seems unable to change.
      Does anyone know if perhaps the newer models have newer codes?  I've used 1793, 1843 and 22287 (as found in this very forum).  But nothing happens.  Any help from users who may have got this working would be appreciated, thank you.

      How to close apps in the background
      By willjim
      I have recently purchased a qned 99 and I can’t see how to close apps running in the back ground like I was able to do with other lg TVs I have.
      The tv is running the latest version webos and obviously tried YouTube for the answer which only seems to say holding down the home button but all this seems to do is open the last app I was using.
      any ideas gratefully received.

      Closing Apps in new WebOS?
      By Succubus
      Hi all.

      I've been very happy with my LG OLED but recently the WebOS updated (to the version with square tiles for Apps); and I can no longer work out how to close Apps.

      This is important because I need to close down Apps like Youtube, NOW TV, etc because if I don't, I then have connection problems with other devices (DHCP perhaps), such as my Xbox. The only way to get around this at the moment seems to be "hard resetting" the TV; i.e. turning the TV off completely at the wall (not easy to get to), before trying to boot up an Xbox or similar. This seems to clear the Apps/connections.

      It works fine if I was just using the TV for freeview. It's only after streaming something.

      I used to accomplish this by going to "Recent" and then closing Apps individually. I can't find a way to close Apps now - is there a way in the new WebOS?

      Thanks.
