I have recently purchased a LG 55NANO86 TV.  Great TV which I am still getting used to!  I have a question about compatibility of the LG built in web browser functionality with the iFollow football streaming service, used in the UK (and elsewhere).  This is a paid for service which allows streamling of live football games.  I have tried several times unsucessfully to use the built in LG browser on the TV to access and watch a game.  Whilst it successfully shows the iFollow website and allows purchase of the stream, unfortunately the link to the live stream which should pop up a window with the stream, fails to load properly and leaves either a blank screen or a screen with the stop icon displayed.  Does anyone know if this is a known incompatibility issue or am I doing something wrong?  I have used the same iFollow website to view historical match highlights and this works without problem.

[Fortunately I can stream the iFollow stream to my iPad and then use an AV adaptor to mirror it to the TV so I can still get the match to the TV, but I would prefer to do his without the hassle of connecting the iPad.]

Any suggestions/advice welcome.

So my club say that you cannot watch it through the tv.

i also have the same issues as you. I can watch highlights on the same site but can’t watch the live games.

unsure if this is a browser compatibility issue? As it states edge, IE and Opera are not supported.

so any advice from others would be great fully received.

 

is it possible to install another os on the Tv?

Hi

I posed the issue to iFollow and they replied....

“the service does not support the following devices or features:

- Android boxes
- Smart TV devices
- Airplay or Chromecast functionality

You can try using an HDMI cable however we can not guarantee the quality of the picture if watching that way as our service was not designed for it.”

So looks like its just not supported on Smart TVs.  Shame as it would make it much simpler to watch. However, linking by HDMI cable via AV adaptor  from an iPad does work (for me) and picture quality is excellent.

      Prime Video unable to update/install on LG TV OLED65G36LA WebOs 8.20.0-710
      By Juicycarrot
      Hi there,
       
      I have an LG smart TV OLED65G36LA (LG OS v03.20.17, webOS TV version 8.20.0-710) , and the Prime Video App was no longer able to update (from Dec 2025) and therefore could no longer be used.
      I have tried uninstalling the app and re-installing, and that was unable to work, so then applied a full reset on the LG TV and so had to reinstall all of my other apps (Apple TV, Netflix, etc etc) which all successfully downloaded so confirmed network connections and setup are all confirmed working.
      When I try to download the Prime Video app, it remains stuck on the download screen and is unable to update.
      Thanks

      [HELP NEEDED] Can someone please provide the last amazon.ipk (prime video)?
      By Ricasan
      Hello there!
      Recently the prime video app started to require the update to open, and now i am having a problem, because this app update REQUIRES to a system update of firmware (to webos24),
      but it will make impossible to homebrew later.
      So, can someone at least provide the last or update ipk of amazon (amazon.ipk), so i can install manually?
      Thanks!

      LG Delivers Massive Ribbon Board to Iconic Madrid Football Stadium

      Extensive Installation at Atlético de Madrid’s State-Of-The-Art Stadium Features
      Cutting-Edge Design and Advanced Mesh LED Technology to Energize the Crowd

      SEOUL, Sep. 29, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is set to redefine stadium experiences with its latest advanced digital signage solutions, debuting at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium – the home of European football giants Atlético de Madrid – from the start of the 2025/26 La Liga season. The extensive installation is engineered to elevate live sports into fully immersive fan experiences while strengthening LG’s leadership in the global signage market.
      The installation spans 1,742 square meters, encircling the stadium’s uppermost tier with a sweeping ribbon of vivid, dynamic visuals that deliver real-time match information and energize the crowd from every angle.
      At the ribbon’s core is LG’s Mesh LED display, a lightweight, flexible system built from a net-like array of LED modules. This design enables seamless installation on high-rise structures or curved surfaces, while delivering exceptional brightness, sharp contrast and clear visibility even on bright days. Low heat emission and reduced power consumption further enhance energy efficiency.
      The Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium also features over 3,000 square meters of additional LG digital signage, strategically placed at entrances, concourses, the player tunnel and the press center. Together, these displays create a unified visual environment that builds anticipation before kickoff and sustains excitement until the final whistle.
      LG’s sports signage portfolio spans nearly 200 countries, from iconic arenas to local training facilities. Beyond ribbon boards, the company offers large-scale scoreboards to small-format displays – all supported by the LG Business Cloud platform for remote management, targeted content delivery and new advertising revenue opportunities.
      In Spain, LG supplies LED signage to approximately 80 percent of professional football stadiums, highlighting its market dominance. Its technology also powers some of the world’s most celebrated venues, including Twickenham Stadium and Wembley Stadium in the UK, as well as leading stadiums in Germany, Belgium, the U.S. and across Europe and North America.
      According to Omdia, the global LED signage market – including sports facilities – is expected to grow at an average annual rate of around 13.4 percent, surpassing KRW 14 trillion by 2029.
      “Our advanced signage solutions featured throughout the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium exemplify our commitment to elevating the stadium experience for sports fans,” said Paik Ki-mun, head of the Information Display Business at the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. “By delivering immersive and dynamic visual solutions, we aim to strengthen our leadership in this growing market.”

      By Raymond Allinson
      I'd like to know if my LG TV  49UJ630V-ZA  4KHDR TV is compatible with ITVX as the icon seems to have disappeared, (presumably it was renamed ITVX).
      Can anyone help?
