We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Been waiting on a Shudder app for a while... I watch Shudder a LOT and have just been using my phone and Chromecast for years but a TV app would be so nice. Not sure it's a priority though because they have had a PS4 app "in the works" for over two years lol.
Eh, it's still good to have. For instance, Paramount + does not support 4K/HDR through the LG app. Apple TV 4K(5th gen) is one of only four devices that will output that app for shows/movies that support 4K.
So lame. Paramount needs to get their shit together.
Also a big reason I got it, I'm not sure which to use now
I think I actually like the Apple TV interface better, and no longer dealing with creeping ads from LG is another benefit. Also recently hooked up 2 Homepods in stereo mode with eARC enabled and it's a pretty nice sound upgrade for my bedroom setup.
Worst part about owning a LG right here, never connects on startup for me but as soon as I go to the network settings option it magically finds my wifi network.
Thank goodness. I hate having to access it via Amazon fire TV. Hopefully they improve the shitty UI.
It's crazy how this is barely discussed. Like,not that many people can be hard wiring their ethernet to their tv.
Yeah the Apple TV UI is much easier to use when bouncing between apps, that's the only reason I'm thinking of still using it
Did you find a fix, same is happening on my C8. It's hardwired in to the internet, so speed shouldn't be an issue here
If it's in warranty I'd get it replaced. I had a guy come out and swap it out super quick and now it works perfectly. Both WiFi and Bluetooth were borked on my C9
Are you using the internal speakers or a separate setup? It didn't work on my external setup but I'm sure it would if I was using the internal speakers.
Oh I am so sorry I interpreted atmos as DV I suck.huge brain fart.
i actually find my C8's wi-fi is more reliable than using ethernet, somehow
Someone posted this over on AVS forum:
"Quick update on the HBO Max issue... the rumors are true. On a US B7, I can verify that if you switch your region to Mexico, restart the TV, then go to the LG App Store, you can download the HBO Max app. Then you can switch your region back to USA, and the app still stays in your app tray! Was able to log in and watch movies.
Just goes to prove that there's nothing from a hardware deficiency standpoint that is stopping this TV from "handling" HBO Max... just some decision to get people to buy new TVs.
Since it's running off my LG and not the Chromecast, there's no delay on my Sonos Arc soundbar. Although admittedly, the LG HBO Max app does not seem to handle Dolby Vision or Dolby Atmos, even though I see the logo "advertised" in some of the movie artwork in the menus. Can confirm it's doing HDR with Dolby Digital Plus. THey'll probably fix that in future updates, but I'm guessing I'll need to "switch back to Mexico" to update the app (and probably discover they closed this loophole...)"
Interesting. Thanks.
Personally, I'm fine using a firestick 4k for now. Switching to Mexico seems trivial, but I am very lazy. Maybe it'll show up eventually. I did get my hopes up briefly last night when a new update (6.00.20) dropped. But no changes there.
Thank you for this, I will give it a shot. Does changing regions change interface language? I'd hate to get lost in Spanish LOL
Irony is the last few weeks has had black twitter go in on how buggy the app is.
That said, congrats all
That said, congrats all
It's the strangest shit. On my CX ethernet worked perfectly for awhile, but then apps started buffering to the point of unwatchability despite it being just fine when speed tested. I unplugged the ethernet and switched to wifi and suddenly apps work perfectly.
yup, this worked. Thanks! Fingers crossed that it doesn't get nuked
