Actually the universal remote/ macro option doesn’t work. On my LG c2 it takes 30 keypresses to turn subtitles on, and another 4 using exit to return to the main screen. And later another 30 plus 4 to turn them off again. The universal remotes macro can only store a maximum of 15 key presses. So great work lg. Your tvs are terrific but the software to use then really sucks. This really does need attention.

There a few options. One is to simply disconnect the tv from the internet by a) disconnecting from you your network via the tv, or b) using your router to enable or block the tv internet access whenever you want to. c) use your router to restrict the tv bandwidth via Quality of Service settings. I recently bought an LG tv and as soon as it connected it started flooding me material I didn't want. So I disabled the TV's internet access in the router, but still keep the tv connected to my wifi network. If I need to stream material I can simply enable internet access for the period that I need. However I find it easier to use a laptop and chromecast connected to the tv. I then cast from the laptop to the chromecast via the wifi network. In this situation the TV is "permanently" blocked from the internet but this setup still allows streaming via the wifi network to the tv.

There is a way around this problem(ie digging through various menu layers to turn off subtitles) but it needs a different remote which can "learn" and save a series of keystrokes (often called "macros") to achieve this with one button press. The only ones I know of are the "one for all" remotes. Easy to find using google search. But it would be better if LG would reprogram their own remotes to make it unnecessary to add yet another remote.

It is easy to add a new item to the quick settings side menu on an lg c2, as long as the item you want is shown on the list presented when you choose the + add item. If you want to add a "shortcut" to an item that is not on the list then how can that be done. Is it possible to edit the list presented? Specifically I want to add a shortcut to "subtitles on" which is buried deep in accessibility settings, there nothing on the list of options presented to allow this.
