Well finally got my new LG TV and very nice it is too, but how do I access Freesat broadcasts? The satellite cable is connected and the channels were recognised and tuned at set up, but all I can get is Freeview. The manuals are next to useless
Cheers @Anonymous User
Hi @Anonymous User
Thanks for your post and welcome to the forum. Yeah I read that too. I bought the 49UH770 as it's "super UHD" & has Dolby Vision, though u need Netflix I think for that, Mine is only 49" so to be honest, I don't think 4K would look any better thAn 1080p. NOW TV looks ok, the sound really lets it down though. tHE INSTRUCTIONS ARE AWful.
Yes, if u have a movie trial you should be able to get 14 days ent pass. It'll be an option if u go to My Account > My Passes. To be honest, I find it much better value than the movies package, which I don't bother with as there's no 5.1
Hope this helps

Hi @Anonymous User,
I was actually hoping that this was something you could have confimed to me
In the old days when LG offered Freesat, the remote control offered a dedicated button (on the top right), that scrolled through the TV tuner options. My current remote still has this button but it does not give me access to the satellite tuner, only Freeview and Radio.
So what I have to do, on my 'non webOS' telly is, press the 'Input' button, followed by the 'Blue' button (which accesses the Program mode). And when you're in the 'Program mode' area, the 'Satellite' mode should be visible.... What a ball ache!
I have no idea if this procedure will be the same for you webOS guys though.
@schnapps I've read what came with it which was so basic it didn't even show inputs/outputs lol, been on website and it's the same manual!, tried the built in TV help, but can't find any reference to it! I started to doubt it had Freesat, but it says so on the spec and there's a satellite connection.
Maybe I'm in thick mode today
@SeeMoreDigital I don't seem to have any input options other than to select HDMI/USB then it's either Live TV which defaults to Freeview lol
I think I'm gonna try John Lewis technical help, that should be a laugh
@SeeMoreDigital @schnapps I've sussed it! At the top of the guide there's a little icon called Program Manager which allows you to select aerial or satellite! As for voice recognition, god knows how that works
Thanks for all your suggestions!
@SeeMoreDigital yes it does. I'm sure it does loads more than I know about lol, maybe there's a youtube vid? Manufacturers must expect customers to be psychic, or it justifies stores being able charge extortionate amounts to set up equipment
Lol...
It's not like the good old days when us 'real men' never read the instruction manuals that came with any device
Personally I suggest you keep short and long pressing all the buttons until either the TV or your head explodes
