I have a LG TV model 55EG9A7T and I have been trying to connect my sennheiser bluetooth headphones using the wireless sound sync for the longest time but it is not able to find the device under available devices.
I tried to call in LG tech support - but no one seems sure whether only LG brand headphones are supported.
Does anyone know if only LG headphones are supported?

Recently I read that the HBO GO App is available in Latinoamérica, ¿Is really available specially in Costa Rica? I was searching for it in the LG Store but nothing.
TIA for any help.

Question
Old Deuteronomy
Hi there,
just got myself a 60LB870V. While I basically really like the new fresh look'n feel of the GUI, I see some really really terribly wrong localisations in the menu. I'm in germany.
The worst example: In the picture submenu, where you select the picture format, the option for an overscan-free 1:1 picture was called "Just Scan" on previous LG sets. Also in the german GUI. Obviously no-one could think of a good translation, so it was simply left in english. Which was totally fine. But on the WebOS devices, someone with zero german language skills apparently took a dictionary and translated "Just Scan" into the german term "Jetzt suchen". This is totally ridiculous. Actually, "Just Scan" COULD indeed be translated into "Jetzt suchen", but this is a completely different meaning. Backtranslated to english, "Jetzt suchen" means "Search now".
This is just one example, but the worst I have seen so far.
Why some might think that this is just a cosmetical issue, the truth is that things like this are usually found in very very cheap, no-name products from China. In such a product, you don't expect anything better, but in an A-brand product like this top-range LG TV, this is simply embarassing.
My question to the staff here would be whether or not you are open to change this in a future firmware release. I would think that you should have some folks in your german branch office who should speak german well enough, but of course I would also be willing to provide you with a list of corrections. It's really not that much. So far I have found 3 or 4 examples like the one above. If you would value my input, I would go on searching.
