LG TV strange connection issue


Frederik Kordiak

Question

Hi all, so I have 2 LG OLED TVs at home and I am connecting them to 5GHZ Wi-Fi, no problem until yesterday. Suddenly, I am not able to use the apps (Netflix, IPTV, Disney etc.) and both TVs are showing connection issues. The same Wi-Fi works on my PC and mobile though. So I tried connecting using a different Wi-Fi with my hotspot and both TVs worked again with no problems. I tried restarting my router many times and my provider said there is no issue on their end, but I am not able to use the home Wi-Fi anymore. 

Have you seen this before? Is it possible that my provider blocked my LGTVs from accessing their network?

Thanks

I doubt the provider would do this.  Providers need you as a customer as much as you need the provider. Have you restarted your modem? Have you reset your modem to factory settings? Restart the modem first by unplugging the modem for about 15 seconds but up to a minute if you would like.

      We recently subscribed to Paramount Plus to catch up on episodes we lost when our COX CONTOUR DVR died. Frequently when streaming an episode,the playback will suddenly freeze. If we try to go back, using the "undo" key, we can sometimes get the playback to resume, but it has rewound abp=out 10 minutes. After resuming playback, it will frequently freeze again. My wife is so frustrated, she wants to cancel Paramount. Any suggestions appreciated!

      Hi I recently updated the software to 5.30 version, and after that I noticed a weird problem with video streaming, in general issue with internet bandwidth. Usually my b/w is ~35 mbps so that is sufficient for 4k streaming on youtube or netflix. The issue is after running for 10-15 mins if I pause the video or go backward the network speed is thrashing badly. For example when I check internet connection on netflix it shows ~30-35 mbps, but whne that problem occurs and I check the speed again I see the speed is dropped to <1mbps. Same with youtube, it can't load 4k videos anymore as the speed is ~1mbps. I can realize the problem as the thumbnails load very slow with scrolling. This problem does not get away unless I restart the TV or disconnect from wifi AP and connect back. The router always works fine I mean when I observe the problem on tv I can run videos on mobile seamlessly and see a speed of ~40 mbps on the same router. The router is kept next to the TV so I don't think it is some issue with wifi distance etc. I don't know what to do. I tried resetting but it removed all my app but it was actually not a so called "factory reset". So software version remained same. To rule out hardware problem I want to revert to previous version of the software but apparently I can't downgrade the software. Is there any other approach to load some previous version firmware?

      Good afternoon everybody !
      I live in Italy and I own an LG 49UF851V that I haven't used for years.
      Being a non-Italian model with hbbtv support (which in Italy was not yet enabled in 2016), years ago, I had changed the code area to 3124 to enable the MHP protocol.
      Now, in 2023, after having set the code area to 3122 (I don't remember the original one, I think it was Polish) and having correctly updated it (firmware 04.06.25.01) I am trying in every way to enable hbbTV for Italy without success , despite the technical specifications indicating that it is compatible.
      By selecting "no country" in the localization menu, the hbbTV option appears regularly activated in the channel settings and, for example, when I tune to Mediaset channels, the hbbTV icon appears in the info banner but in reality it does not start.
      Beyond this, obviously, the channel list is not according to Italian law and there are no Italian APPs in the Content store.
      Searching the web I notice that the uf851v is practically identical to the uf850v and the uf852v except that it seems to be intended for a non-Italian but still European market.
      Is there any way to solve it?
      I thank you in advance and wish everyone happy holidays

      Hi, 
      New user on here. 
      I bought this new TV last week and it is honestly driving me bananas. 
      When I click "Home" after using an App, etc, it brings me to the WebOS interface but then automatically selects the last used device (e.g. Fire stick, LG Channels, etc) despite me not wanting it to. 
      Is it possible to disable this, i.e. "Home" brings me to WebOS and stays there? I'm sure its a setting etc which I'm missing. 
      Device is LG UQ91 43 inch 4K Smart UHD TV, pretty sure its all up to date. 
      Thanks in advance.

      Hi - I have a strange issue where I choose my computer connected via HDMI to my LG C7 TV - the screen has an orange color.
      This has only been happening recently and no other channel is affected. TV/Netflix etc channels all totally fine.
      Any ideas how to fix this?
      Thanks!
