I think the HDMI sound output is digital over the cable to TV so the sound quality will depend on the TV end.

Forget the AV cable. The sound is already transferred via HDMI - you need to change your audio output on your computer to HDMI. Right click on your volume icon the left click the Play Back devices and there you see the option to change to HDMI audio instead of speakers.

Can you give me a link where it says Flash was available or ever likely to be available on this TV?These streams you are trying to illegally watch - have you approached the people who stream these to ask if they can stream in a format that you can watch on your TV - specifically bought to watch illegal streams? Good luck with all of that.

Bad patter to quote your own posts - but Magic Remote and Sky HD now totally functional on firmware 5.10.02

With the beta firmware 5.10.02 the Magic Remote is finally totally functional with Sky HD boxes. Well done LG!

C'mon Osse5 - surely you can throw SOME light on your claims? You wouldn't want anyone to think you were simply trolling?

Good luck with that.

Any joy with the link or part number? Loads of people looking forward to ordering this upgrade!

Any joy with that link - or maybe a part number? You must have a part number if you ordered it and fitted it?

Have you got a link to this interesting development ?

No - sadly it doesn't. You need to go down the road of using third party software like Plex or the LG badged Smartshare to view your content on your TV. And viewing is all you will be doing - no deleting or moving files about. To be fair it is all mentioned in the user guide but like you I expected to plug in drive and view on TV.

Your only option is to upgrade your TV by replacing it with a more recent model.

:-)

You can't. They have been removed from the App Store because Facebook and Twitter have removed LG's permission to use them. You aren't missing anything - both were pretty horrible to use on a TV

So it IS supported?

Then why on earth do they give instructions on how to do it via USB? I have used USB method on last 3 updates with no issues whatsoever. It is entirely up to yourself if you choose that option.

There are explicit details of how to update via USB on the LG site for your TV

They never ever claimed at any time that you could watch Flash videos through the web browser on your TV. Exactly the same situation as an Apple iPad or iPhone - the outdated Flash platform is not supported. The web browser functions adequately well in most other aspects.

Then I would raise this issue with LG customer support as it sounds like you have a faulty TV as opposed to operating system.

Really? The things you learn on here. Though I have never relied on Wikipedia as a source of reference before. So this LG TV you have bought - are you going to return it as part of this "boycott"? Or are you simply going to refuse to buy another LG TV when this one burns out - which might be never? Good luck with your consumer activism against LG. Let us know how you get on with protesting against the company you were "persuaded" to buy a TV from.

You didn't say protest - you said boycott. What exactly are you going to boycott?

Boycott??? What will your protest consist of? Not switching on your TV?

You must have an older Sky box then. Have you tried another HDMI source to eliminate the the Sky box from the equation? Or a factory reset of the TV?

Go into your Sky box settings then picture and switch HDMI control off and see if that helps.

It sounds much more likely to be errors in the file you are playing or the USB drive not being fast enough to transfer the data to the tv. Is it an HD file ie 1080p mkv or similar?
