Question
LG-TV
It's been noted on various forums that some LG TV owners can change the country code through the ez adjust service menu.
For example:
It appears the instructions covered in the link above are for webos 2.0 versions.
Changing country code has allowed many users to download apps not available in your own country.
A small amount of forums state that some LG TV owners cannot change the country code through the ez adjust service menu.
For example:
Some of those owners report a different menu, most likely those users NOT using webos 2 and are using webos 1.0 or webos 1.5
In Australia on my TV I see -
7. Country Group
Country Group Code 19
Country Group AJ
Country --
8. Area option
Area code 263
Wi-fi Frequency 7
Lang Gr. ALL
Teletext Lang Gr. W_EU
I II Save On
HDEV Off
MONO Off
Location 0
Isolator 0
I found that the South African user posted that they had a similar menu:
Comparison between Australian and South African users posting about the issue -
Area Option
Area Code -
South Africa: 259
Australia: 263
Wi-fi frequency -
South Africa: 3
Australia: 7
I note that the difference between the Area Code between the two countries (263-259) equals 4.
Further, the difference between the Wi-fi frequency between the two countries (7-3) equals 4.
I suspect that it is possible to change the country and thereby download apps from another country.
I think the USA Area code is 02.
Anyone figured out how?
Perhaps posting up your Country Group Code and Area Code (IF you have webos 1.x) may be a step towards this process.
