It allows you to watch over 150+ live and on-demand channels from various genres and categories, such as news, sports, entertainment, music, and is powered by Xumo, a streaming service that offers free content from various partners and providers.

Method 1: Disagree with the User Agreement
For this, go to Settings > All Settings > Support > Privacy & Terms > and then User Agreements.
Now simply remove the “I Agree” checkmark next to LG Channels conditions in the “User Agreements” section.
Once you are done, reboot the TV and check if the method is working.
If not, move on to the next step.
Method 2: Change the broadcasting location settings
‘LG Channel’ only works in a few different countries, and if you choose the wrong broadcasting location, it will stop working immediately.
This is the trick we are going to use!
Simply go to the settings and then ‘LG Broadcasting Location settings.”
Now select a random ‘country’ instead of your actual location.
Once you change the country, reboot the TV once again. That’s it!
