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:

      International contents from JioCinema and Hotstar Apps are not playing on my new 48inch C4X OLED TV
      By Nihar Ranjan Dash
      The international content on JioCinema and Hotstar apps are not playing. No issues with Indian content in Hindi or other regional languages. But English, Korean, and Japanese content are not playing. Specifically, I want to play Disney content on Hotstar and HBO content on JioCinema App. 
      I tried resetting all configurations and reinstalling the applications and re-logging into the apps. Still, the issue persists. I tried switching off the TV and tried pressing the power button for complete discharge and rebooting my router, but the same issue persists.
      **I found a workaround though, changing the wifi network or using a mobile hotspot on TV and then all content plays well even if I revert to my primary Airtel wifi, It still plays. but the next day the same issue continues.
      It's an overhead to switch the wifi every time I want to watch Hollywood titles. Certainly, it's not the experience I want with a TV of a hefty price tag. No other devices (Mac, ios, android, windows, Android TV) have this problem. Also, it's not the wifi issue, as I can watch the same titles on other devices. The LG TV also doesn't have the capability to remember a few WiFi networks to ease this workaround of switching networks.
      Alas, Nobody informed me about this issue earlier while making the purchase. Now such pricey TVs shouldn't have these issues at all. Kindly let me know If there is a permanent fix for this issue.

      Disney+ does not play Dolby Atmos
      By Gregor Huc
      Hi,
      I have a Disney+ premium subscription. But if I play a Dolby Atmos Film on Disney+ on my LG OLED G4 (e.g. guardians of the galaxy vol. 3) the Dolby Atmos signal doesn't reach my soundbar (LG ds95qr) which is connected via HDMI cable over eArc. On the TV only Dolby vision Logo is showing. Any suggestions?
