Can't believe some of the incorrect information written in this thread.
The (LG) EPG is abismal and the more apps which are installed the slower loading of the EPG occurs.
If you want the EPG to populate as quickly as possible. Do a factory reset and DONT load or use any apps.
It works I've tested it but unfortunately that is not the reason we have purchased smart TVs hence like others have correctly said it will also be my last (LG) product on this premise.
Hello, Finally a solution that might work, I have emailed L.G. Umerous times about the E.P.G. There are also numerous other things I have asked them to improve, but ai seriously doubt they will see the light of day, their engineers and R&D team will be too busy designing the next range of TV’s, to worry about my LGOLED55C9PLA
although if they listened, the next range could be even greater. I plan to uninstall all my apps don't use any anyway and see if the E.P.G. Improves. If not will do a reset, but will physically write down all the. Idea and Audio settings first, can’t imagine going through that learning curve again ( one of my ideas is to have the option to save settings to a USB device ) will post back here any improvements.....presently I look up the E.P.G on my iPad on TV guide ( 14 days
) and set a manual TV recording....strange thing there is that if you set a manual recording, you can‘t set recurring recordings, unless you exit come back and chose edit
a similar thing happens with TV guide recordings, you can set pad time ( 10 minutes is a ridiculous maximum [ another suggestion to L.G.] but not recurring, or Vice versa, to get the other option Pad time o recurring recording, you must exit and go back and choose edit....what a nonsense......
there are so many oddities is this OS it’s untrue
here is a list of my suggestions, does anyone else have any ideas ?
LG TV feature requests
1-option to disable floating pointer
2- name hard drives
3-be able to delete empty folders, not just video files
4-make pixel refresh automatically on cumulative hours
5-pixel refresh page confusing needs redescribing.
6-allow more padding time for recordings, up to 1 hr user defined
7-allow custom recordings to be given a name to help remember what they are
8-allow saving of TV settings to a file on a usb pen or HDD.....several named files would be good, then family could chose their favourite settings and load the file from a usb pen / hard drive. Plus could have settings that are in test, in case doesn’t work out
9+a text file to describe firmware update features / changes
10- would like a feature request section on LG website for ideas and allow voting, you would then have an easy access to ideas & their popularity
11-Allow setting of recordings manual or through E.P.G. To have ALL options available I.e. Pad time recurring recoding etc. Without having to exit and go back to Edit mode to change the other settings.
UPDATE
Deleted ALL Apps, powered off TV and on again, the E.P.G. Said downloading, was a bit like watching paint dry, but it did eventually fully populate. Bit strange that it reverts to Today, if left for 20-30 seconds, so while waiting for it to populate, have to continually go forward to relevant day, be better if it just stayed on the same day. Went back to settings and back again and the EPG was till fully populated, will see how it is tomorrow....certainly powering off the TV and on again loses all E.P.G programmes. I had an old Panasonic TV, 15 years old and the E.P.G was always there instantly, why it doesn’t populate in the background beats me. Also it’s available for 14 days on TV guide on the internet but only. 7 days on the TV
