HU70LA WebOS

[nikobland]

Hello community,

Any owners of this projector who are on a WebOS later than version 3? Projector was advertised as being 4.5 but it's seemingly stuck on 3, so no Disney, no Apple TV... A real shame!

Would be great to hear if anybody has any news from LG, or found an update.

Thanks.

Similar problem with my projector HU80KS. LG seams not to focus very much on their projectors regarding WebOS and related Apps. I am a little disappoint. The main reason why I bought a "smart" LG projector, was because of WebOS and now I have to find out that not all apps are available like on a LG Smart TV. I am very disappointed!

Thanks for replying Munich. I had a scout on the LG US website for updated WebOS for your HU80KS, but no luck. April 2019!! Why are LG so bad at supporting beamers? If you get any more responses from LG, I would be grateful to hear them: I will do the same if I get anything back.

I will post it here, in case I get any feedback.

There have been recurring issues about LG products recently. If they are listening, I would tell them that they should focus on making all the necessary apps available on their Web OS platform or they should switch to Android OS for TV and other devices.

I have found many LG owners that are not satisfied with the new web OS enhancements.

OMG, this is so frustrating. This is a very expensive projector that lies about every aspect of its "smart" features. As of July 2021, it's stick on WebOS 3, every application is currently bugged. No support for Google Home or Alexa. No support for Disney+. The fact that they say it's webos 4.5 and has both Alexa and google home integrated is such an absurd. LG should get sued for this.

Guys, I have a HU70LA projector, WebOS 4.5 and software version 03.00.06, some apps do not appear in the app store, such as HBO Max, Star+. Disney+ only, but when trying to download it gives an error "ERROR CODE: A.021.27." Did anyone have a solution?

Guys, even though my projector was "HU70LA.AWZ", the automatic update 04.00.06 didn't appear. I only managed to download in the version "HU70LA.AUS" directly from LG's website, with that I did the manual update using a pendrive. Now, i was able to download the Disney+ app, it no longer gives the previous error, however, the HBO MAX and STAR+ apps still haven't appeared. Does anyone have a solution to download the apps?

Hi Guilherme,  have you updated your projector with another location firmware? Im using the same projector,  with brazilian firmware,  but I want to use Disney and more updated apps

Do you have the Brazilian version of the HU70LA? Did it work to update with another firmware? Can you replicate the step by step here? Thanks.
