LG webOS: Install Legal Streaming Apps (Ireland)

Last updated: 14 September 2025 GMT

This guide configures your LG webOS TV for lawful streaming in Ireland: Irish Content Store region, official app installs (no sideloads), correct motion/50 Hz behaviour, and robust 5 GHz or Ethernet.

Quick wins

• Set LG account/Content Store to Ireland (no region hacks).
• Install only from the LG Content Store (IE).
• Use 5 GHz on 36/40/44/48 @ 40 MHz or Ethernet.
• For sports: disable excessive motion smoothing; keep 50 Hz cadence clean.

Step-by-step (Ireland)

1. Update webOS: Settings → All Settings → Support → Software Update → Check for updates.
2. Confirm Ireland region:
   • Settings → All Settings → General → System → Location / LG Services Country → Ireland (varies by model).
   • Sign in with an LG account set to Ireland. If you changed regions previously, power-cycle and re-open Content Store.
3. Install official apps: press Home → LG Content Store → search → Install → open and sign in.
4. Motion settings for sports:
   • Settings → Picture → Advanced → TruMotion → Off (or set De-Judder/De-Blur low).
   • If using HDMI devices (Apple TV/Fire TV), enable HDMI Ultra HD Deep Color on that HDMI port.
5. Network:
   • Wi-Fi: join your 5 GHz SSID; router on 36/40/44/48, width 40 MHz; split SSIDs.
   • Ethernet: wire the TV or a wired mesh node to the router for match-day stability.

Ireland-specific tips

• DFS channels (52+) can hop if radar is detected; for live events prefer 36/40/44/48.
• If an app doesn’t appear in Content Store, your LG Services Country or LG account region isn’t set to Ireland.
• Use Ethernet when the TV is two rooms away or behind a wall/cabinet.

Troubleshooting

App missing

Confirm LG Services Country = Ireland; sign in with an Ireland LG account; reboot and reopen Content Store.

App won’t open or crashes

Remove and reinstall the app; update webOS; power-cycle TV; stabilise the network (non-DFS or Ethernet).

Motion looks odd

Turn off TruMotion; if using external box, set device to 50 Hz and enable HDMI Deep Color on the port.
