Hi there,
Sorry you are having this trouble. We would be happy to help. When the update occurred, do you recall being prompted to accept terms and conditions? If so, and if you did not accept them, that could be the reason for this issue. They would have stated:
"We appreciate your interest in this television and its operations. LG has never sold users' personal information to advertisers, and we don't require anyone to agree to our Privacy Policy. That policy provides important information about how LG collects, uses, and shares information that LG obtains when customers use LG Smart TV Services. If you choose not to agree to the Privacy Policy, you can still use your Smart TV, but not all Smart TV Services will be available. If you agree to the Privacy Policy, you can still opt-out of certain Smart TV functions through the OPTIONS sub-menu on your TV. For example, you can turn off the "LIVE PLUS" feature, which provides interactive services, and the "LIVE SHOPPING" feature, which assists with online shopping. If you have additional questions, please contact us at privacy.support@lge.com. "
If this was not prompted, then you may need a service visit. Out customer service is available 24-7 at 1-800-243-0000 for troubleshooting and service initiation.
Best of luck.

I purchased an LG Smart TV, model number LG42LN578V complete with 'Magic' remote in January this year.
Initially all worked well and the voice recognition system for channel selection worked ok for all channel numbers.
Sometime in March there was a software update and from that time the system will not recognise many channels via the voice recognition, it accepts and displays the channel number but displays an error message 'cannot find corresponding channel'.
Strangely it works ok for say channel 44 or 56 but not for 101 or 103 upwards.
I contacted LG directly in April and they have gone through the usual resets etc to no avail, they say it's a bug and would be fixed in the next software update.
A new update was installed this week and it still doesn't work.
Has anyone else had this problem and if so how was it fixed?
I am now at the point of returning the set as 'unfit for purpose' but thought I would give this forum a try first!
Thanks in advance for your help.
