      webOS updated, I think to 2023, on my C2 a couple of days ago. Since then the News option on the Sky News app no longer works, instead timing out. The Weather and Climate options still work, though.
      I have deleted and reloaded the Sky News app, but the problem remains.
      Does anybody have any suggestions of what I might try to get this working again, or is this something for LG, or Sky, to fix?

      Apparently, the LG model OLED55CSPUA has an issue with the external device power on/off control. I can configure the IR Bose soundbar well enough, as setup sequence tests it good to control soundbar power. but after exiting the setup, when i press the external device power button on the remote, the TV just wants to cycle through the setup again.  It doesn't toggle soundbar power, just cycles back to the setup.   i have tried factory settings reset and verified that there are no other devices on the TV.

      Imagine walking into your dream home where every appliance is top-of-the-line LG, but without the hefty upfront costs. That’s exactly what LG is making possible in Taiwan as it becomes the first major brand to launch a home appliance rental and care service in the market.

      Last October, LG Taiwan unveiled its groundbreaking home appliance rental and care service at Taipei’s Chalet V, showcasing a fresh approach to modern living. The thoughtfully designed venue brought the concept to life through curated living spaces that demonstrated how premium appliances can enhance daily routines without demanding significant upfront investment.

      Visitors experienced firsthand the practical benefits of LG’s rental program through an immersive showcase featuring fully-equipped living rooms, kitchens and laundry spaces. The demonstration areas highlighted how renting a complete suite of LG appliances can both upgrade living standards and provide smart financial flexibility for homeowners and renters alike.

      Live product demonstrations revealed the real-world advantages of the service, while LG’s professional technicians explained the comprehensive benefits package – including full warranty coverage and scheduled maintenance visits. This hands-on approach gave visitors a clear picture of how the rental service combines premium appliance access with peace of mind through professional support.

      The venue featured a home-like showcase area with themed spaces, including living rooms, kitchens and laundry rooms, demonstrating how renting a full suite of LG appliances can significantly reduce expenses while upgrading daily living experiences.

      Enhancing the service’s accessibility, LG Taiwan also announced strategic partnerships with key industry leaders, such as Sinyi Realty’s Ecosystem Lead and Taishin Bank. Industry experts and retail leaders gathered to discuss the program’s market impact, including representatives from 486 Shop and SENAO International, alongside financial news anchor Liu Hanchu. The discussion highlighted how this innovative rental model represents a significant shift in consumer access to premium home appliances, offering both financial flexibility and lifestyle enhancement opportunities.

      The launch has already generated substantial interest across Taiwan’s home appliance sector, with market analysts noting its potential to reshape industry standards. This pioneering service model could set new benchmarks for consumer accessibility in the home appliance market, reflecting LG’s commitment to innovative solutions that meet evolving consumer needs.
