Choose a player for an LG television

Before you start

An Android player recommendation is not a webOS compatibility list. Check the LG store on the television before paying for an app.

A practical way through

1. Open your device’s settings and record its exact model, operating system and software version. A familiar brand name alone is not enough to choose an app.
2. Open Apps or LG Content Store on your LG TV and search there. webOS uses its own apps; Android packages do not install on webOS.
3. Compare remote navigation, EPG, favourites, subtitle controls and account input. A feature list is less useful than a short trial on your exact device.
4. Check whether the player needs a separate licence. Paying for an app does not buy a content subscription, and buying a subscription does not automatically unlock every app.
5. Request a trial using the device and connection you actually plan to use. Check your must-watch content before choosing a longer term.

Check the result

Test one live channel and, where available, one on-demand item. Check picture, sound and navigation. If the result is different from what you expected, note the exact error before changing another setting.
