r/webos

I have a LG G5 and got a notification saying that I can upgrade from Web OS25 to 26. I did after hesitating all day (now I wish I hadn't) cause well it new. First off it took like 2-3 minutes for the TV to turn on, I press the power button over and over because it didn't turn on by the time. You finally did turn on and turned off then back on and then off again like there was a huge delay. Next, I try to use my magic remote to control my Apple TV and it won't do anything at all. This is frustrating as Hell!!!

guys i am new on this sub.. i just wanted to know is there any method to remove prime video/hotstar/youtube ads???

Hi All, my 2021 Samsung Led TV's panel got rekt so need to buy a new TV. Not keen on going back to Samsung given the existing TV didn't even last 5 years. Looking at offerings from LG, Hisense, TCL, etc. but more keen towards LG due to screen quality reputation.

How's webOS in day to day use, navigation, updates and app availability? Coming from Tizen so standards are pretty low.

Lastly, any recommendations around 40-45k INR range would be appreciated.

We recently bought an LG OLED55G5. The picture quality is excellent, and the colors are fantastic.

Unfortunately, the user experience is a completely different story. We mainly use the TV for watching terrestrial DTV and satellite channels. To make things easier, we created two favorite lists in the Program Manager:

• Favorite 1: Antenna / terrestrial channels
• Favorite 2: Satellite channels

The problem is that there seems to be no quick or practical way to switch between these two favorite lists using the remote.

Even worse, there doesn't seem to be a way to create Home shortcuts for the two lists. Switching from DTV/antenna to satellite can require an absurd number of steps through the menus. What should be a basic operation on a TV becomes a frustrating process every time.

We've gone through the available settings and tried different approaches, but couldn't find a simple solution. We also contacted UK LG Support, and unfortunately they confirmed that there currently isn't a user-friendly way to do this.

This is particularly disappointing because this isn't some advanced or unusual use case. Switching between terrestrial and satellite TV is basic TV usage.

LG, please remember that these TVs are supposed to be used by normal people—not software developers who enjoy navigating through multiple layers of menus just to change the TV source.

The OLED G5 has excellent hardware and picture quality, but the software/user interface seriously lets it down. webOS needs an update that makes basic TV functions simple and accessible.

At the moment, we're seriously considering returning the TV because something as fundamental as switching between our two channel groups is unnecessarily difficult.

Has anyone else with an LG G5/G6 or recent webOS TV found a genuinely quick way to switch between two favorite lists or between terrestrial and satellite channels? If there is a hidden shortcut we're missing, we'd really appreciate knowing about it.

Finally, the LG TV development team should really consider collaborating with the appliances department to help them design a usable TV.

It's not as simple as the title. I factory reset my modem/router. All my other devices are set up but the LG TV Web OS. After I type in the password to connect to the internet it says connected. But it's not. It won't connect to YouTube or the web app. I only get the spinning 'trying to connect icon'. I've reset the LG TV and same thing. The TV says connected but its not.

Do I need to reconfigure something?

I've had a problem for several months now. The first video I watch on YouTube plays perfectly, but from the second video onward, it just keeps loading, and I have to turn the TV off and on again for it to work properly. It's always like this. How can I fix it?
