I can’t watch Hulu on my one TV anymore and it doesn’t have Disney+ either which is total bullshit! It won’t let me just pick on my cell phone top corner and cast it to my TV either! these TV sucks I’m a sucker I bought three of them to 75 inches and  1 65 inch 4K uhd tv’s! Crap!

I was able to download Netflix and Amazon Prime using a hot spot via my phone instead of my wifi network. I was not able to upgrade them and tried removing and reinstalling.  Wouldn't do it until I tried this. It was slow but worked. Stupid that we are having the problem at all.

I am having exact same problem. Can't install apps. For example, I can't install

link hidden, please login to view
Prime from App store or download update from home app screen. 

Had the exact same problem.i just found a solution from a youtube video(well at least for my tv).The trick is to change the DNS SERVER

Go to; settings>network>Wi-Fi connection>Advanced settings > DNS SERVER>Edit then change it to 8.8.8.8

After that everything Apps started updating and installing  just fine.

Scroll to the bottom and select edit 

uncheck set automatically 

change the DNS server to 8.8.8.8

click connect and bam you’re good to go

      International contents from JioCinema and Hotstar Apps are not playing on my new 48inch C4X OLED TV
      By Nihar Ranjan Dash
      The international content on JioCinema and Hotstar apps are not playing. No issues with Indian content in Hindi or other regional languages. But English, Korean, and Japanese content are not playing. Specifically, I want to play Disney content on Hotstar and HBO content on JioCinema App. 
      I tried resetting all configurations and reinstalling the applications and re-logging into the apps. Still, the issue persists. I tried switching off the TV and tried pressing the power button for complete discharge and rebooting my router, but the same issue persists.
      **I found a workaround though, changing the wifi network or using a mobile hotspot on TV and then all content plays well even if I revert to my primary Airtel wifi, It still plays. but the next day the same issue continues.
      It's an overhead to switch the wifi every time I want to watch Hollywood titles. Certainly, it's not the experience I want with a TV of a hefty price tag. No other devices (Mac, ios, android, windows, Android TV) have this problem. Also, it's not the wifi issue, as I can watch the same titles on other devices. The LG TV also doesn't have the capability to remember a few WiFi networks to ease this workaround of switching networks.
      Alas, Nobody informed me about this issue earlier while making the purchase. Now such pricey TVs shouldn't have these issues at all. Kindly let me know If there is a permanent fix for this issue.

      App Icon Cannot Be Moved
      By Joe C
      Since the Web OS update last week, the line on the Home Screen with all my apps has changed.  Now Apps is the first one in the line.  I do not want it there, but cannot move it.  If I go to the end where it shows Edit Apps, I can click on any app to move it or delete it.  But, the Apps icon is grayed out and cannot be moved.  My neighbor has the exact same model I do -- LG OLED 653PUA -- and it is not like that on his tv.  He can move the App icon anywhere he wants.  This is very annoying as it defaults to the Apps icon when I click on Home and then I need to click to get to YouTube TV, which until the update was always first in the line.

      LG 49UJ635V upgrade to OS 4?
      By Guy C
      Hi, I've got this model LG which is updated to webOs 3.9. I can't connect an iPad wirelessly as it needs airplay with comes with webOs 4 but I think my TV was just pre 2018 when it changed (mine must've been the outgoings model). Is there a way to force an update and should I do it if I can?

      Cannot select Optical + TV output if eARC is plugged in
      By starwoodtech
      I have an optical plugged into a hearing aid box. I also have an LG S95QR sound bar plugged into the eARC.
      Works fine in eARC. When I try to select the optical + TV option for output, it switches over ok for about .5 seconds, then automatically switches back to the eARC output without me doing it.
      Does anyone know what it might do this? Why can't I change my output if I so choose?
