Hi,

Thank you for your response.

The supplier of the application(DSTV) mentioned that the application is available on the software/firmware that runs on the TV. The supplier of the application does not mention any model that is is not running. It must be LG that does not  make the application available on all models that is running the  LG webOS that the supplier of the app requires. Maybe LG wants us to buy new TV's. The app is available in South Africa and the TV is also set the correct region and country. We got the app running on Samsung and Apple.

@DavidW Thanks for the feedback. It is also possible that LG blocked it for certain 2015 TV's, because the age of the hardware, maybe it does not support the app very well, or it performs badly/slowly.

Hi @DavidW

You list your TV as having webOS 4.6, however I am guessing that is probably something to do with the firmware number not the OS version.  The TV was released with webOS 2.0, and I am not aware of a unit being upgraded from v.2.0 to anything more than v.3.0.

Many content providers have either never or have dropped supported support for v2.0 and some such as HOTSTAR do not support v3.0 for their app.

Hi  @George Hofmeister,

Where can I found the firmware version running on the TV?. What is the difference between the software and the firmware(what is the firmware called if the OS  is called "WebOS"?).

Thanks

David

      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.

      Is it possible to turn off search on the home screen, or filter results to show only apps? ?
      By Mohammad1403
      Hello there,
      Is it possible to turn off search on the home screen, or filter results to show only apps? Ideally, I'd like to limit content to be appropriate for kids.
