Disney Hotstar not showing up on LG 86" Class - UN8570 Series

My friends back in India are able to download and watch Hotstar but I am not able to find the app on the Content Store.   I believe I had updated the system to the latest.  What am I missing?

@murugess Hotstar is ONLY available in India, USA and Canada currently.  You will NOT be able to get the APP on your TV if not ACTUALLY in one of those 3 countries.

HOWEVER, you may wish to try using a VPN service to "configure" your location to be, say an Indian IP address location, then you MIGHT be able to view shows via the app downloaded on to your Laptop/PC.

Here is an example, but I offer NO guarrantees,  as Hotstar could tighten up their location checking for VPN use:

Thanks for the reply. I am based out of USA and I still don't happen to see the HOTSTAR app on the LG content store.

I will look into the VPN option.
