@filfae Yes, I finally managed to enable PVR and Live TV functions and everything is working fine! I don't know the meaning of the Energy/Country Code at Toolopt6, what I could understand is that changing them will enable/disable various options in the TV software - I believe they refer to the different TV models and to the Countries in which they are sold. I also think that different TV models have different toolopt6 "class" codes, meaning the first two or three digits in the code. What I suggest you to do is to take a screenshot of the default code on your TV, then search for a screenshot (you can probably find it online or asking on this forum) in which the code has the same first 3 digits but the "DVR Ready" switch set to ON and, VERY IMPORTANT, all the other options set the same as your TV. Selecting a code with random options settings could result in malfunction or damage to your TV: I was lucky because the first time, even if I typed in a wrong code for my TV and it deleted the Magic Remote support engine and some other minor functions, as I later typed in a correct code of the right class of my TV, a software update was released that fixed the problem, and everything works great since then. When you find and type in the correct toolopt6 code for your tv, then you must change the geographic area in the options menu to a country in which DVR is enabled, and the channel list is the same as Italy. I selected Estonia and it works great. The only issue is that I had to turn off automatic time zone selection, so twice a year I have to correct the time manually. Hope it will help you.

Hi, you need to change ToolOPT6_Energy/Country code with one that has DVR Ready option turned on. Try to find one online, or maybe someone here in the forum can help you. Before typing in the new code, I suggest you to make sure it is the same class of the one installed by default on your tv (it starts with 825.....) and that all the other options are set the same way, otherwise you might experience some malfunctions that may not be reversible. I was given the code for my tv by another user of this forum, but unfortunately it has very different option settings from yours, so I wouldn't try it on your tv. When you find the correct code that enables DVR Ready option, then you have to change the country from the tv settings menu to one in which DVR is allowed, if you live in Italy you can choose Estonia who has the same channel list of Italy so you will have all the channels sorted correctly. Hope this will help you

Hi, the option you refer to at no.3 is DVR READY under toolopt6 menu. You need to find a toolopt6 code that enables that option, but make sure that all the other options are compatible with your tv, better if you find a screenshot of the toolopt6 menu to check it before typing in the new code. As I wrote in a previous post I would suggest you to select a toolopt6 code of the same class of your original code (take a picture of it in case you need to roll back to it). After you get DVR READY turned on, you have to select a country where USB recording and live tv are available, if in your country they aren't, otherwise it will still not work. The issue you will face is that tv channels may be set in the wrong order. For example I could select Estonia, which provides the same channel list of Italy, so I completely solved the problem. Hope it will help you

Yes, the problem got solved by itself with the next software update. I believe that when I changed the toolopt6 code the first time, I used a code that turned off bluetooth functions and so it deleted the magic remote motion engine software, When I changed the code again to the one with bluetooth on, the magic remote paired with the tv again, but didn't work because there was no motion engine installed. When the tv downloaded and installed the firmware update it installed also the motion engine software, so everything started to work properly again and the pvr and live tv function are active. What I suggest is to select a toolopt6 code of the same class of your original one (I mean the first digits of the code) and to check on the screenshot if the functions are turned on/off in a way that's compatible with your tv before changing it

Yes, I did, but it didn't solve the magic remote issue. Tomorrow I will try the code you posted and I'll let you know what happens

Unfortunately the magic remote does not work anymore in its pointing function, probably something happened to the motion engine, because it pairs regularly, but the pointer doesn't move anymore. I also switched the TV back to the previous original settings, I found a remote test screen on the service menu and it says that the remote work properly but the motion engine is not present (in the TV for what I can understand), but it worked before I changed the code. I'm going to ask to LG service how to have it work again and I'll let you know.

Hi everybody, thanks to @ponello I could turn the DVR function on, typing in this code in the service menu: ToolOPT6_Energy/Country (541847305) Then I had to change the country to one where the function is allowed, I chose Estonia 'cause they have a channel list compatible with Italy. The only issue now is that Bluetooth is inactive, so my magic remote doesn't work anymore. I couldn't find the option to turn it on. Any ideas?

No, unfortunately I didn't yet. If I manage to solve it I'll post the solution here

@T0BlAS I tried every options, even what @td47 suggested, but changing the location settings does not enable usb recording. I would try changing the number in tool_opt6 but I couldn't find any lists of code numbers to type in there. @Selvin Fúnez you can enter the menu by downloading AnyMote Smart Remote on your mobile phone, then press EZ-Adjust key, type 0413 as password and you're in. Can you please post a picture of your settings under tool_opt6 so I can try to copy it? Thank you!

@td47 Thank you, I will try contacting LG directly. If I solve the issue I will post the solution here, it may be useful for other users.

@td47 @td47 thank you for your answer. I do have an older lg smart tv and I use Time Machine and DVR on it. About this new one, I know the UK model has the functionalty there, but on the Italian website https://www.lg.com/it/tv/lg-55un74006lb-tv-led they say it doesn't, and if I plug the hdd in and try to record I get a 'function not available' message. I guess it's the same device with the same capabilities and I guess that the function is switched off by software on the Italian model. How can I turn it on?

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?
