UPDATE ON LG TVs manufacture from 2013 to present, I've also researched international websites/chats, I've found it's a recurring issue. The suggested fix will not work unless the provider IKS, implements it on everyone's behalf. In my opinion, it will not happen for a potential of reasons, perhaps reducing their security levels or allowing a 3rd party to implement a change. I don't have enough experience to determine the true nature of the inaction. I really hope someone from the organization takes heed to make the changes, but in the meantime, seems like any newer LG model will need to satisfy with the live channels which thus far work fine. That or buy
a Samsung tv.
