Hello Mr. G., I concur - the best solution is a fully functional browser. Sadly, we will likely be waiting several years and need new televisions before it is introduced. Apologies again for piggybacking my issue onto your thread, I was just hoping to find plans for implementation of more WebOs functionality that would better meet our (the consumer) needs/desires. Meantime, while waiting for responses from the big corporations I am reduced to trying work-arounds like screen-mirroring, which tends to bog down and become unwatchable rather quickly with my devices. Curses, back to my small computer screen for the game...

Hello, Here is the response from NBA Tv support - I have to say it doesn't look promising...

Hello George, Thanks for your response and the clarification on the platforms available for the NBA app. That helps me understand why it's not available. I will ping NBA tv on whether they are developing an app for webOs.

Mr. G and George, I appreciate your thoughtful and polite discussion. George, I have to agree with Mr. G.. WebOS appears to dumb down my "smart" tv. I just want to watch NBA tv on a big screen. It should be easy, right? Yet LG doesn't offer the app, the LG browser doesn't support playback outside the app, and also doesn't allow downloads, so I cannot download the app to the TV. So my only option is to ask LG to add the app and wait... BTW, if you google the topics you can see other requests have been made for the NBA app from over a year ago. Not to highjack Mr. G's thread, but I would appreciate an answer from LG on (in my case) on adding the app, and an answer to (one of) the original thread questions - can the limitations please be removed from the webOS browser? Thanks

LG - I have seen several requests for you to add the NBA TV app. I would love to be able to watch the games on my LG "smart" TV instead of via computer or mobile. Just add the app already please (or tell us why you won't)!! LG - I will anxiously await your response. FYI to the responder that said "LG don't build the apps...", the official NBA tv app is available through google play store, itunes, and others.
