Favourites and categories · LG webOS TV

For LG webOS TV, check the selected playlist, filters and local favourites before assuming a channel was removed. Preferences can belong to the player installation.

Favourites and categories on LG webOS TV

A hidden category, a language filter and a missing source produce different results. An app replacement may not copy the old local favourites.

An Android APK does not become a webOS application. Confirm a native player route before choosing a subscription.
