How to remove "not programmed" message on top of screensaver?


Question

Posted

I am only using my LG SmartTV as a SmartTV, no traditional cable/antenna-input at all, only internet and other devices.

But still it seems to default to expecting old fashioned TV signals, always starting up on a "dead" TV channel with no input, and always ruins the nice screensavers with a big black box saying "not programmed".

Any idea how to get rid of this?

I am experiencing the same issue. I don’t want this message displayed and I’m not using satellite, cable or antenna... I’m only using the TV to stream from Prime and Netflix.

Can we fix this ? How do we fix this ?

This is really frustrating me. It’s been almost 8 months and LG has not responded on this thread.

Can we please get some answers LG ???

Daniel, LG dont look at this forum, it is a user support group or rather a means of venting our frustration. The saying " Caveat emptor" has never been more appropriate when it comes to buying LG TV. However, there was no way of knowing this from the specs or shop display.

I am also irritated by this message as I too do not connect to anything but the internet for Youtube and Netflix.. You have to complain to LG directly, not this forum, but I doubt it will get you anywhere. 

I have tried all the LIMITED settings and options available on the menu. Cant even invoke the screen saver quicker for when I play the radio app.

      My TV is about 5 years old (Software version 04/63.25) and for the first couple of years it was connected via a Fetch Set-top box.   After disconnection the Fetch box was returned to the supplier and the TV connected in the normal manner.
      Ever since, whenever I activate the pointer, which is not very often now, there is a message on the screen "You can control your Set-top box with Magic Remote.   Would you like to continue?"   I have tried every possible way, short of a complete factory reset, to obviate this but without success.   Can anyone suggest a fix?   Any help/suggestions greatly appreciated.

      Hello. I installed an app on my LG C9 called ArtHola. It is a gallery app that changes chosen artwork on the screen. Unfortunately, LG's fireworks screen saver comes on after a minute. Is there a way to disable that? Or is there a way to make that ArtHola app send a signal to the TV to keep the fireworks from coming on? I know that when I have my Nvidia Shield TV's screensaver come on, the TV never interrupts that.

      Hello,
      I've got a 55NANO866PA and whenever I try to stream content through the browser, I frequently encounter the error message: "Remove sandbox attribute from the iframe tag."
      Has anyone else experienced this issue and found a solution?
      Tia.
