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?

Same issue here, tried the same steps.

It's still possible to watch via YouTube (bonus feature being the rewind function)

I have emailed the app support shown in the store page.

It started working again, but has now gone back to timing out. 

My troubleshooting steps consist of shrugging and switching to broadcast 233.

Do you have any other suggestions?

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)

      Samsung has made fridges with touchscreens before. LG has made fridges with doors that turn transparent to show you the inside. This year at CES 2018, those two ideas are finally merging into one with LG’s new InstaView ThinQ smart refrigerator, which features a 29-inch touchscreen that becomes transparent if users knock on it twice.
      LG actually tried this two years ago, with a version called the Smart InstaView Door-in-Door that ran a full version of Windows 10, but it’s not clear that the company ever shipped the Windows version.
      This version uses the touchscreen to manage your food using LG’s webOS software and Amazon’s Alexa, which will let you tag food with virtual stickers and expiration dates and get automatic reminders when things are running low or about to go bad. There’s also a wide-angle panoramic camera on the inside of the fridge that will let you remotely view your fridge while you’re out and about to check and see if you’re actually out of milk or not.

      Unfortunately, the only image that LG has shared showing the fridge is a low-resolution shot on its YouTube page banner, but it seems that you’ll be able to still use the screen while it’s translucent, allowing you to tag food directly in a vaguely augmented reality-esque move.
      LG is also touting how all of its ThinQ kitchen gadgets can talk to each other to make kitchen tasks easier. So your ThinQ fridge can talk to your EasyClean oven, which will help you cook food through step-by-step instructions from the recipe app from your fridge. Then, your EasyClean oven can notify your QuadWash dishwasher about the kind of meal you cooked, so it can more efficiently select a wash cycle for that dish. Of course, all this requires spending thousands of dollars replacing every appliance in your kitchen (and if this all works as well as LG claims it does), but it’s still an intriguing vision of a Jetsons-like future utopia.
      No price or release date for the InstaView ThinQ refrigerator or any of LG’s other new appliances have yet been announced.

      Hello,
      A few years ago I bought a 43" LG Model 43UK6200PUA, manufactured in 2018. I'm from Canada but I purchased this TV in the US. It was a store demo unit on for a great price. I took it home to Canada, set the location to Canada and setup up in our bedroom.  It has been working fine with our Fiber TV service as well as Netflix, Amazon etc. We also to have a 60" LG TV in the living room which was purchased in Canada. This TV is similar in age to the one in the bedroom. Recently I started watching the LG channels on the living room  TV. I hadn't really paid much attention to them before but now I enjoy them. My problem is that the LG channels do not work on the bedroom TV. I suspect because it was purchased in the US but located in Canada. With the location set to Canada the LG channel guide populates and shows what's on however when I select a program I get the following message.
      LG Channels can't be serviced if a user changes 'LG Service Country' from Settings. In order to use LG Channels service, please restore 'LG Service Country' to its condition of original purchase
      So if I change the location to the US I get this message.
      Sorry, LG Channels is not available in your location. Please set your location to your current location in the settings. If you are in the service area, please visit www.lgappstv.com for help.
      As you can see the messages sort of contradict each other also the website mentioned www.lgappstv.com is not working. I suspect that the location for this TV is set to the US at some deeper level. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      It is unprofessional on part of LG TV that they do not resolve the basic issue of adding app gCmob in their app store.
      My 50UT80506LA LG WebOs TV does not support my office security camera system via wifi to TV.  We need (gCmob app) in list of app.
      I can't connect my office camera via Wi-Fi to LG-TV. No body in LG TV technical team is proactive in resolving the issue of customer. They are more happy to befool the customers, rather than looking for technical solution through wider thinking.
      Please talk to you top management and make a visit to our office to understand the customers plight..
      Please respond to customers needs.
