@Surojit Roy You do not post what TV you have, and it may only be available in the LG APP store for certain later models. It is not available in all countries either. So, if it is not in the store, you cannot install it. Here is a posssible workaround, from an anonymous user:

"In some TVs you won’t be able to install apps which are not available with them. Though my tv was a smart tv only I couldn’t install Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hotstar, Zee5, ALtbalaji etc. to enjoy the web series and movies on them. After some research, I got to know about this: - Fire TV Stick 4K with All-New Alexa Voice Remote, with Streaming Media Player.

It has to be downloaded in the stick and just switch to the hdmi on which the stick is fitted and play. You need to have a good internet connection [strong WiFi signal] to use it.

We need to pay the subscription costs for Netflix, amazon prime, Hotstar, zee5 etc. We can choose the various plans which suit us. But it’s worth buying. We have disconnected our tata sky also since the day we got this as now we can watch a variety of programs and web series with the help of this fire stick. Now we just love to have it."

It is available from Amazon and other selected outlets/specialist stores.

      Super slow internet (WiFi) when streaming
      By NickL
      Hi,
      I recently bought an LG UK6500PLA TV (my first LG), but I have a difficult time streaming content (Wifi connected), e.g. Netflix series is streaming in low resolution.  The router is only 10 feet away from TV (but ethernet is not an option) and uses a 5GH frequency range.
      I have tried making a speed test at fast.com, for both the TV (through the Webbrowser) and for my laptop and iPhone. The speed test for TV showed 2.5 Mbps and my laptop and iPhone showed 110 Mbps. Can there really be such a big difference? I am starting to wonder if this might be a warranty issue?
      Do any of you guys have experience with bad Wifi reception on your LG TV or have any suggestions on how to fix it? 
       
      Br,
      Nick

      LG Becomes First Home Appliance Brand to Launch Rental Service in Taiwan
      By News Reporter
      Imagine walking into your dream home where every appliance is top-of-the-line LG, but without the hefty upfront costs. That’s exactly what LG is making possible in Taiwan as it becomes the first major brand to launch a home appliance rental and care service in the market.

      Last October, LG Taiwan unveiled its groundbreaking home appliance rental and care service at Taipei’s Chalet V, showcasing a fresh approach to modern living. The thoughtfully designed venue brought the concept to life through curated living spaces that demonstrated how premium appliances can enhance daily routines without demanding significant upfront investment.

      Visitors experienced firsthand the practical benefits of LG’s rental program through an immersive showcase featuring fully-equipped living rooms, kitchens and laundry spaces. The demonstration areas highlighted how renting a complete suite of LG appliances can both upgrade living standards and provide smart financial flexibility for homeowners and renters alike.

      Live product demonstrations revealed the real-world advantages of the service, while LG’s professional technicians explained the comprehensive benefits package – including full warranty coverage and scheduled maintenance visits. This hands-on approach gave visitors a clear picture of how the rental service combines premium appliance access with peace of mind through professional support.

      The venue featured a home-like showcase area with themed spaces, including living rooms, kitchens and laundry rooms, demonstrating how renting a full suite of LG appliances can significantly reduce expenses while upgrading daily living experiences.

      Enhancing the service’s accessibility, LG Taiwan also announced strategic partnerships with key industry leaders, such as Sinyi Realty’s Ecosystem Lead and Taishin Bank. Industry experts and retail leaders gathered to discuss the program’s market impact, including representatives from 486 Shop and SENAO International, alongside financial news anchor Liu Hanchu. The discussion highlighted how this innovative rental model represents a significant shift in consumer access to premium home appliances, offering both financial flexibility and lifestyle enhancement opportunities.

      The launch has already generated substantial interest across Taiwan’s home appliance sector, with market analysts noting its potential to reshape industry standards. This pioneering service model could set new benchmarks for consumer accessibility in the home appliance market, reflecting LG’s commitment to innovative solutions that meet evolving consumer needs.

      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.
