Hi,

I have just upgraded from an LG 06LF6300 TV to an LG OLED65C1PTB. On my old TV I could pause live TV for up to 90 minutes and replay at a later stage. 

Can anyone advise if this feature is available on the LG OLED65C1PTB.

Thanks 

Sam

I think you are looking for the 'Live Playback' function. Here is a quote from the manual:-

Quote

You cannot use a USB stick. Connect a USB HDD with 80 GB or more of total storage.

With the Live Playback function, you can play a programme back for up to two hours depending on remaining USB HDD capacity. This time may vary depending on your region.

  1. 01  Input the USB HDD in the USB port.

  2. 02  Press the ... button on the remote control and select LivePlayback.

  3. 03  The LivePlayback setting confirmation screen appears. Complete the settings and press the OK button.

Maybe this will help.

Unfotunately after pressing Live Playback nothing happens. My son advised that it may be the HDD so I'll order another and try again.

Thanks for your reply

I use an older 1 TB seagate usb hard disk (see photo) which is powered only by the usb.

 

Here is a screen shot of my TV showing how my 'on screen' controls look. Note. to bring up this display I press the wheel button on my remote control, (you may have to press a different button).

Thanks for the info Noel,

Tried the wheel button and all surrounding buttons but to no avail. Will wait until I get a new hard disk drive but with lockdown might be a few days/weeks.

Appreciate you giving me your time

Cheers

Without the model number I would only be guessing at what you need to do for your particular TV.

Recording and pausing live TV, which is the same thing really, will only work if you have a proper USB disk device plugged in. I guess this is because the TV does not have enough internal storage to record very much of anything. 

Once you have plugged in your USB disk (with enough storage available) do the following:-

  • Press the Input Device button on your remote. (picture 1) On my remote this a button with a plug picture on it.
  • Keep scrolling down till you get to "All Inputs" and hit the OK button. This will open up a new screen showing all the Active Input devices. (picture 2)
  • Now choose your USB Disk device. Mine is called (Cruzer Slice). Hit the OK button
  • You should now see a screen that allows you to Format the disk (picture 3)
  • Once you have formatted the USB disk - go back to live TV
  • Hit the Down Arrow button on your remote (it may be labelled differently on your TV). This will pop up the Live Recording menu on the bottom left of your TV (picture 4)
  • Scroll across (Right Arrow) to Start Live Playback (picture 4)
  • Hit the OK Button.
  • NOTE. If your USB disk is incapable of recording live TV you will get the message in (picture 5). This means that you can't use this USB thumb drive you need a faster USB disk drive.

If all goes well you should now be setup for recording live TV.

Excellent advice, works well, there are no buttons, when you press the wheel it brings up an on screen pause play rewind that you navigate with the magic remote pointer

This "Live Playback" procedure is a bit of a fiddle compared with simply pressing Pause button as I used to do on the slightly older LG TV remote control.  Was it really worth getting rid of the Pause on the new controller?

However, having fitted the HDD, I find the old controller Pause button works on the new TV!

Maybe LG would allow me to return the new one in exchange for the older version.??

I have an OLED48C1 TV and was using a (old!) 8GB ScanDisk Cruzer Facet USB stick for both Live TV and recording.  It worked fine, however the limited size was a problem.  I tried replacing that with both Amazon Basics and ScanDisk 128GB USBs - both allowed recording but not live TV.  Tried reformatting but no joy.  Now using an old Samsung Lacie HDD (150GB) and it works fine.  

Seems odd that the old USB stick worked fine but not a new one.  Any ideas?

Steve

      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?

      ABC iView watching live news stops and starts with spinning circle
      By Charlie F
      I’ve just got home after being away 2 years, and got the tv out of storage. When we try and watch the news live in the. Morning every few minutes the video and sound stop and then after a few seconds the circle appears and starts spinning. Then the program starts again and it’s fine for a little while, and then it stops again.
      I have checked for updates of the TV OS and iView (2021 is the latest)
      If I use iView on my iOS device and then airplay it to the tv it works fine with no problems. If I watch any program on iview that would have been prerecorded, even if I’m watching it “live” it’s fine.
      I see a few people were having a problem with all iView programs back in 2022, but they resolved. 
       
      can anybody suggest any solutions?
       
      Thanks
      Charlie
