Moved country - app availability

Question

Hi all

Sorry if this post is a double up, my previous question appears lost!

We have a LGB7v bought in the UK but we've moved to New Zealand. Is there a way for me to get access to NZ based apps? I've tried to change the "Location" but there's no Asia or Oceania option. I selected "Other" and all it did remove BBC iPlayer and UK apps from viewing but I also (annoyingly) had to review and change the display settings for each source again. Regardless, it doesn't seem to have helped me anyway.

Is there a way I get NZ apps and ensure my TV remains up to date with the correct firmware, etc.

Many thanks

Jay

Hi Jay

I did the same move a few years ago, luckily I happened to speak to LG in the Uk who told me a UK/EU TV won't work in NEW ZEALAND - unless it's connected to a sky box or something like that - the core function parts (app store, channels etc) simply don't work.  I latterly also discovered the same thing when moving from Australia to NEW ZEALAND - so there is a theme here.  Basically I think LG are delivering a very budget service for NEW ZEALAND consumers - the firmware updates do not include functionality improvements offered/made available in other countries (ie, Alexa)....  

My decision is my next TV will not be an LG, they simply don't support updates for long enough to make them worthwhile.

Thanks for replying Michael.

Just to let you know I can get the free to air digital channels on the LG no problem. I am also getting the firmware updates but perhaps not all features(?). I imagine they would serve the same FW worldwide and limit access via geography somehow.

Access to NZ specific apps is really the only problem I have had. Everything else seems to work fine and the picture is outstanding.

All the best.

Jason

      That Orange field (from SM/etzadjust) I can click for modification on my C1, but I cannot on my C2.
      Any hint about how I can achieve that?

      Background: my goal is enabling PVR/TS, enabled on my 65C1, but disabled on my 42C2.
      I know it is risky, but copying the value of the same model with those features should achieve that, as discussed here:

      Hi Everyone!!
      I own an LG Smart TV and I am trying to create an LG account by using the option 'Accounts" under the settings. When I try to register, I show an error message " Unable to retrieve LG service country information". I am in Oman and the LG service country is selected as Oman.
      Regards

      Recently I purchased 65NANO91 in Norway and I want to install apps from Indian app store like Hotstar and SonyLiv but India is not in the countries list under LG service country. Only countries from Europe and few African countries are in the list.
      Is there any way I can install Hotstar and SonyLiv apps? or change service country to India?
      Thanks in advance.
