Is this only available in the USA? It isn't in my LG Content store in the UK.

@Mark James I was wondering the same. It does all appear to be somewhat US-centric. What about the rest of us?!

What about the 2016 models?  Ah, that's right, LG has given up on them now too.  No CBS All Access, now no Movies Anywhere.  I'd say "at least we got Disney+" but it still doesn't support 4K playback so there's that.

Thanks for the sharing! For videos, I wonder what if they couldn't be played on some devices. Is there any way that can fix it, or some tools like Media Converter Mac, video converter or whatever? So the video formats can be changed and available for other devices.
