Can we extend this functionality to TVs manufactured in 2017 ?  My 65" OLED TV was manufactured in Dec 2017 - and wasn't put into use until 2018.   The TVs not that old. 

 

Just saw this post and yes my LG B7 manufactured in Nov. 2017 has the Disney+ app.

The silence from LG WEBOS Administrators on extending this update to LG OLED TVs manufactured in 2017 is deafening.  I can't imagine it is a very big effort (if there is any effort at all) in extending the AppleTV+ application to 2017 models.  If the rationale is to "force" us to buy a newer OLED I believe LG will find this has backfired.  We bought LG OLED for both the great picture AND service.  It feels like LG is letting us down.

@montycs You are not alone in thinking that because of the site name used here, that it is an arm of LG.

Sorry to dissappoint you, but this is ONLY a peer-to-peer help/advice forum for enhusiasts who own and use LG TV's, concentrating on the LG WebOS functionality, update issues, usage issues, possible bug workarounds etc. This site has NO input into LG itself, and NO business conection, and NO lobbying or support request capability.

So, THAT is why there is silence, THIS IS NOT LG - you had best contact your local LG support in your country, and see if you can get any response from your questions on this matter. 

Apologies though, if I have mis-interpreted your post, and you are just venting on here about LG.

      LG SIMPLINK keeps turning back on since webOS 23 update. Auto Power Sync missing.
      By Flavio_S
      On LG OLEDs. You go on and disable SIMPLINK. Fine. But everytime you turn on your HDMI device it enables itself back again. This happens because they have disables two key features that were present in previous OSs, as you can see clearly here
      link hidden, please login to view (they even put screencaps of the menus where you see the missing options in the 23) These functions are Auto Power Sync and Auto Device Detection.
      Man updates are supposed to add functionalities not the other way around. It's very annoying to turn on your TV and have your AVR turn on without you wanting to.

      Anyone found a solution for this problem?

      Does the 'In Start' menu exist on WebOS 1.4
      By denisuu
      Hi all,
      I'm wondering how you can get into the service menu (In Start) on an old LG Smart TV (42LB630V) running WebOS 1.4.  I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920F) with a IR blaster, I have tried sending '0x04FB 0xFB04' to I which should be IR code to enter the menu, but that doesn't work.
      I have also tried entering it with the SSAP-Web, but I get:
      error: 500 Application error {"errorCode":-101,"returnValue":false,"errorText":"\"com.webos.app.factorywin\" was not found OR Unsupported Application Type" The SAPP-Web app does works though, because the TV does respond to Get info
      { "returnValue": true, "product_name": "webOS", "model_name": "HE_DTV_WT1M_AFAAABAA", "sw_type": "FIRMWARE", "major_ver": "05", "minor_ver": "05.90", "country": "omitted", "device_id": "omitted", "auth_flag": "N", "ignore_disable": "N", "eco_info": "01", "config_key": "00", "language_code": "en-GB" } The reason I want to access the menu is because I've enabled DEBUG mode on my TV through the NVM method and I want to enter a root shell trough UART to enable SSH and root access.
      Gaining root access through NVM:
