Disappointed in Smart TV. Other than OTA TV through Tablo, most TV we watch is on Sling. On the Roku app we can use the Sling DVR. But on the LG TVOS app, we can not.
I confirmed this with Sling and LG. Now when someone asks me about the TV I am tempted to suggest they get a UHD TV, but not bother with SMART.
Am I wrong? Something to be done?
My lg 43 inches smart &3d TV with lg web os doesn't have apps like zee5 which is available in other models .I think buying of smart TV is my biggest mistake I have purchased TV three years back.kindly help by providing at least some comment use apps like hotstar,zee 5 ,alt balaji as already demanded by various users.
Hi Hanmant,
As with mobile phone OS creators the said manufacturers do not produce (with obvious exceptions like apps to access their own products) all the apps to run on their platforms, the same is true for Smart TV platforms. LG do not produce the app, so if your favourite content provider does not produce an app then you need to lobby them to do so. You can also use the official LG contact form (https://www.lgwebos.com/topic/2550-lg-has-a-feedback-and-suggestions-form/) to let LG know you would like apps for particular content providers. This however will just be in the hope that LG will make overtures towards the content provider to show them that there is a desire for them to create an app for the webOS platform.
Hi Rajesh,
Hotstar has produced an app for webOS, however its availability is dependent on certain criteria:
Model of TV
webOS version of TV
(Possibly) Location
