NASA+ will be available on most major platforms via the NASA App on iOS and Android mobile and tablet devices; streaming media players such as, Roku, Apple TV, and Fire TV; and on the web across desktop and mobile devices.

What’s the betting it won’t be on LG’s WebOS though? 😭

I have a C3 and don’t use WebOS for anything. I have a PS5 and Roku connected to it instead.

Good news - the Apple TV app is free and runs on LG’s WebOS

Will that have the NASA app? I’m sorry if this is a stupid question.

From the sound of it, AppleTV will carry the NASA+ TV channel. The app is presumably something that sits on your smartphone and is another way to access content

Get a streaming stick. The hardware TV manufacturers use to run their OS is generally bottom of the barrel and is sluggish as hell.

Their OLED panels are top notch, so don’t sleep on it. Just get a separate streaming device as the experience on Roku, Android TV and Apple TV is just miles better.

As others have said, don’t buy TVs for their smart features. Just use a streaming stick. They are easier to replace as software changes, and there’s practically no real benefit to ever putting a TV online in the first place.

Also, LG panels are the best visual quality. You’re doing good going the LG route. Just keep it offline.

LG OLEDs are amazing, worth the price. Their OS is also very good compared to other TVs, I used it for years without an outside player. Now I have an Apple TV, which is better, but I still miss the LG’s magic controller.

Bro just get an external player and don’t worry about the garbage OS built into the screen.

Can’t you just play it from the web?

I bit the bullet and got a Google tv with Chromecast because webos always gets left behind (and there was no homebrew YouTube alternative like smarttube on it)

If you haven’t updated the TVs software you can probably root it (rootmy.tv). The Homebrew store has ad-free YouTube.

My tv didn’t allow the exploits that currently exist, i remember trying and failing. That’s why I ended up with just using something externally. Shame, i enjoyed the magic remote
