I can get to the web with no problem on my LG TV ( Model UM7300AUE), but when I try to watch a live stream event, I just get a blank screen.  Our church live streams services from their website.  On my computer, it launches automatically.  From the tv, I can get to the exact same page, but no stream, no error message.  I chatted with someone from LG, who told me the tv's browser is incapable of watching a live stream and that I can't use another browser.  I know other tv brands (even older models) do this with no problem.   Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Johnny

Same problem for me - LG is in internet browsing total rubbish. What decided it for me was it would not stream my Mums funeral,  from Wesley media. I got a message saying that it was NOT supported. It could be so good but its not. So I bought a 4G Amazon Firestick I get all the same apps plus all the ones LG does not allow. Live streaming the lot.  plus with a vpn the world is my Oyster.  I watch legal live TV from Spains national broadcaster as well.  There are other boxes like Roku etc but I am happy with Amazon firestick. You just plug n play and there are loads of you tube videos that tell how to get the best out of it.  And of course it plugs into any Tele with HDMI so I take it with me when I travel and use my phone hot spot internet connection to connect to if necessary.  Plus I dont have to tie up a laptop or mobile phone to watch what I want. PS I  dont get paid for this nor do I get any gifts or rewards. I am just fuming at LG for selling me something so useless.

      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

      Live sports transmissions are terrible
      By cpvusa
      OLED65G5WUA - brand new.  Direct connection to Router with 350M up and down speeds.  Primary apps are YouTubeTV and PrimeVideo.  Internet line is dedicated and has low latency.
      As an owner of multiple previous LG OLED TV products, I expected better results from the latest generation.
      It seems that any live picture feed of sporting events the picture is very poor.  Tried various picture and advanced options, but ending up having to reset options to factory to watch most other tv offerings.  
      If set on Standard, some faces of fans behind players are not even recognizable.  For golf, the trees have foliage that don't even look like branches.  Most of the players have a glow.  In some live offerings, the crowd members look like cotton ball splotches.
      For 4K, and Prime Movies, pretty good.  New channels, have jagged letters, and poor color representation.
      I was unable to return TV because I did not have the original packaging (which I threw out before testing TV next day).  LG sent out technician from Express who proceeded to imply that my eyes were deceiving me, lighting was too much, too close, too far, etc. etc.  Never saw somebody go out of their way to tell me I am crazy.
      LG will not send out a second technician, as the tech team are convinced (despite real pictures to the contrary) that the TV is fine, and I have no recourse, except to call - at my expense - other certified LG technicians.  They are right and I am wrong.
      What is worse, is if you go in a store, you see the beautiful 4K picture - which is not a live streaming event.   My other OLED tv's do not have this issue.
      I would like to know if there are others with this type of experience.  My only other options are small claims court (the pictures alone would win the case) - and good luck collecting, or eat the large sum of money I paid, and get myself a Sony.
      I have attached one picture - if you will look at the people on the left side or in the middle, their faces are not even recognizable.  This is at 1080P live feed

      Enabling usb recording and live tv
      By Hblone
      Hallo, I bought a 55un74006LB smart tv in Italy. It seems not to have usb recording capabilities, according to the information on the italian website, but the UK site declare it has. I think it's the same product with the same functions, so how can I turn the live tv and usb recording on? I think I found the options in the service menu but I cannot change the values. Any suggestion?
