So sick of this stupid piece of crap TV. Every couple of days, the TV logs me out of my LG account and I can't use the IPTV channels.
Besides how incredibly and utterly stupid it is to require a f'in "account" to watch TV, when I go to log back in on the TV or the app (again I can't believe I need to download a f'in app to watch TV) it doesn't work. I need to change the location to Canada, reboot the TV, change the location back to US, reboot the TV, and then I can log in and am presented with the "terms and conditions" I need to accept (for the love of God why in the f'ing world do I need to accept terms and conditions to watch f'in television!?!?!?!). Then I click "Accept All" and everything works, for a few days, until it logs me out again for no reason and I need to go through the entire circus again
The TV is hard wired to Ethernet, so it's not a wifi issue. It's on a battery backup so it's not a power interruption issue. Anyone know how to fix this? This last time I went into the menu and the account and clicked the "Check Terms and Conditions" and there was a entry on the bottom with the green check mark so I clicked "Accept" on that one, I'm hoping that does it?
Needless to say there is no way I would ever consider for even a second buying another LG product, I will never give another dollar to a company that makes products so incredibly hostile to customers. but I spent a lot of $$ on this TV and I'm going to be stuck with it for a while so I am hoping this is fixable, despite how utterly ridiculous neededing to have an account or accept terms and conditions to use a device I bought and own
Question

I have a 49UF850V and am in the UK. It has been updated to the latest firmware. If I try to use the voice command feature to change channel e.g. Go to bbc1 HD, it says that I need to provide a postcode to use the feature. If I click on ok there is no field to enter a postcode. I cannot see anywhere in the settings to enter one either. I already provided my postcode when scanning for channels during the initial TV setup. Voice command works OK for apps such as YouTube. Any ideas?
