Sky News stopped working after the webOS update


Question

Posted

webOS updated, I think to 2023, on my C2 a couple of days ago. Since then the News option on the Sky News app no longer works, instead timing out. The Weather and Climate options still work, though.

I have deleted and reloaded the Sky News app, but the problem remains.

Does anybody have any suggestions of what I might try to get this working again, or is this something for LG, or Sky, to fix?

Started to work again for a while, and then stopped again, as above. Still just the News option, which times out; all the other options on the app work fine. 
 

And just my C2 from 2022, bought in 2023, is affected. My 2020 GX and my 2021 Nano-somethingorother work fine with News on this Sky News app.

I've noticed this also.  Bets bet is to buy a cheap Android/Google TV box and connect to TV via HDMI.

The Android apps don't have this kind of issues and work fine

The app works perfectly on my expensive AppleTV box plugged into one of the TV’s HDMI ports 😛

But once you have started the Apple TV, it’s an absolute bugger to get it to let go of the TV and yet still leave it switched on 😢

So my preferred workaround Is terrestrial 233.

On my LG TV, if I want to switch from the Android box, I just select another input using the TV remote.

eg.  One of the TV's built-in apps, the tuner, another HDMI input, etc, etc.

Yes, I can do that, but the Apple box just sits there, still on. Any attempt to turn it off with its On/Off button, either turns it on again, or it does turn off, but the TV with it.

After which, when I turn the TV on again, it comes up on the Apple TV, not what I left it on.

If I CBA, I’d ask on an Apple forum how to avoid this, I suppose.

I noticed if I'm watching any of the LG's built in channels and then turn off the TV, the TV will always start up again on HDMI,

whether the external device is on or not.

If I have the TV set to "Live TV" (the tuner), and turn the TV off/on, it will start up at the Live TV.

I don't think you can change this behavior.

Regarding your AppleTV box, can't you turn it off (or put it to standby) by its remote control?

There a probably a setting in the TV that controls whether the TV should turn off when an HDMI device turns off,

but I've never seen this in mine (2017 uj series)

      As the title say, it is unfortunate that we cannot have access in those two apps and as far as I know many ppl waiting for them to be added… Hope to see them soon in webos app list. Thank you in advance.

      It starts ok but when I select a program it just sits there with the 'wheel' turning. It works ok on my phone and ipad. Have tried updating tv operating system and iview app but they seem to be at the latest version. Anyone else having problems?

      Hello I have a 2020 LG oled 65 inch tv and I am connected to internet via wifi. I checked connections and they are all good and working. I have standard apps that came with TV installed Netflix, Disney plus ect. And now TV is saying they both need to be updated to have access to those apps. Everytime I go to update and click on update it says the app is not installed so it won't update when I look to make sure app is installed it shows they are.
      I am confused on what's going on and how to update these apps and get access to them again. 
       
      Any help would be greatly appreciated thx
