New apps

by Lgnewowner Jun 20, 2017 12:42PM PDT

Dear Lg staff. Can we please have any TV streaming app created in the last 2 years? The latest app is the wwe app. There is not PlayStation vue/ slingbox/ direct tv/ Hulu live/ YouTube tv tv app. What's a smart tv without any mainstream tv apps.

Unlikely. Why?

by r. proffitt Forum moderator Jun 20, 2017 1:09PM PDT

Because the older TVs are not bringing in revenue there is no money to pay programmers to do this.

Yes, 3rd parties can work this but this and other reasons mean your best source of new apps are consoles, blu ray players and Roku/Amazon boxes.
