I'm just setting up a friends new LGTV and can't find the BBC iPlayer (or any of the other UK catchup apps) in the Content Store.  Am I looking in the wrong place or doing the wrong thing.

 

The TV (55UN7306) doesn't have the Freeview play facility so I can't use that to help him.

 

Thanks in anticipation.

I've just established that LG don't have agreements with the UK providers to use their catchup apps in their 2020 range of TVs.  This must be a major negative when considering an LGTV at the moment.   

 

Let's hope that "the powers that be " give this the urgency it deserves.

From LG customer services :-

 

In regard to the UK on-demand applications, I am sorry, but currently these are unavailable for download. This is the catch-up applications, such as: BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub and 4 On Demand (Freeview Play). Although, apps such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and YouTube are still available for download. I sincerely apologise for the inconveniences this will cause. 

At the moment, some of our new 2020 TV models could be missing some catch-up apps; however, LG are in the process of working directly with the broadcasters to feature their catch-up players in our 2020 range of televisions. 

Discussions are currently ongoing, and a software update will be provided soon. This will be downloadable through your TV via the internet. I would be unable to comment as to when this may be, although I advise ensuring that “Automatic Updates” are enabled on your TV.

      recommended content on LG television
      By Chris Schults
      Everytime when we are watching a program we like very much.
      Suddenly appears on the left side of the screen some Recommended content.
      It takes too great part of the screen, and besides that the content it shows is not what we like too.
      I closed my account on the telly, but still it shows up every day.
      I can not find a solution for it.

      IPTV Smarters not in LG Content Store
      By OKtay Sa
      Hi there,
      i have an 65oled9flb (webos).

      i want to install the app IPTV Smarters Player but i cannot find it in the content store.

      I tried different country's for LG Services to obtain it but no one worked.

      Any one an idea?
       
      I read that there are different apps in the store regarding what tv you have and which region you are. Does anyone have more information about that? Maybe they didn't support oled tvs or i don't know what else could be the reason.

      Sun NXT App Missing from LG Content Store on Model 32LM560BPTC
      By techguy noob
      Hi,
       
      My LG TV model number 32LM560BPTC is having an issue where the Sun NXT app is no longer available on the LG Content Store. I was able to watch it before, but starting yesterday, the app disappeared. However, on my other OLED LG TV, the Sun NXT app is still available in the LG Content Store. Is this issue specific to the 32LM560BPTC model TVs?
       
      Thanks,
      Sarath
