Is Tubi on LG TVs?

ORIGINAL POST

We recently got my grandma a new LG tv, and she is extremely not tech savvy. I’m aware that there are parental controls available, but is there a way to set the tv so that when it’s turned on, it always turns to a specific channel? She watched a lot of Tubi, so maybe if it just opened Tubi as soon as it turned on?

I believe you can set it so it either always remembers the last viewed channel when you turn it on, or brings up the home screen.

If you go with the home screen option, maybe you could move the Tubi icon to the beginning of the shortcuts strip.

LG TV app won’t load

Posted by vizkiz · in r/TubiTV · 2 years ago

As of Monday, the Tubi application on my LG TV loads past the first screen and stays on the colorful splash screen and does not load. I have left it on for approximately 15-20 minutes with no change, thinking it needed to to load something.

Further steps I have taken: • Opened multiple other applications to clear Tubi from the memory. When Tubi reloads, I get the same result. • Deleted the Tubi app, shut off the TV, then reinstall the Tubi app, with the same result. • Unplugged the TV for two minutes. Plugged it back in, with the same result. • Switched wifi network, despite other streaming apps working, with the same result.

My Tubi account still works on my phone without issue.

The TV model is LG 43UJ6200-UA Software version 06.10.30 WebOS TV Version 3.9.2-6280408 Tubi version 1.0.4

There is no software update available for my TV or the Tubi app from the LG content store.

Any ideas? I emailed Tubi support Tuesday with no answer yet.

Same issue here with Tubi, Max & Prime. The notion of rewinding a few seconds & pressing play has been quite the 2 hour adventure. Every other app I pay for is absolutely 100% fine. Can’t find a single person who wont insist that this has something to do with my wifi or act like I broke my tv & i am so tired of repeatedly explaining everything else works & having to sit there while they argue & claim what im saying doesnt make sense, as if knowing the answer to your question is a prerequisite for calling & asking for help

🎬 LG Streaming Week 2025 is Here – A Month of Perks for LG Smart TV Owners

From September 1 to October 5, LG Smart TV owners (from 2018 or newer models, plus StanbyME, StanbyME Go, and LG Smart Monitors) can unlock a ton of free trials, bundles, and discounts across movies, music, gaming, and more — all from the LG Streaming Week app on your Home Screen or Content Store.*

Here are some of the highlights if you’re in the U.S.:

🍿 For the Movie & TV Fans

Disney+ / Hulu / ESPN Bundle* → $29.99/month for 12 months Basically, ESPN subscribers get Disney+ and Hulu at no extra cost for the year. Includes Thunderbolts, Only Murders in the Building (S5), Lilo & Stitch (global re-release), NFL Monday Night Football, and more.

Honestly, the streaming week looks stacked, like the movies, gaming, even random stuff like karaoke and Baby Shark. If you had this on your TV, which one would you actually use the most? I feel like I’d end up on the Disney+ or hulu bundle a lot.

My LG isn't "that" old, but it is stuck at webOS 3.9. A few apps simply aren't available, and now it seems some apps like Tubi can't live stream on it. Just a rant as I'm trying to figure out how to watch the Super Bowl :(.

Streaming Criterion Channel on a LG Smart TV.

Posted by rimbaud1991 · in r/CriterionChannel · 2 years ago

Dear all.

Recently I posted on r/criterion, however my post was removed by an administrator. I deeply apologize if my post is also irrelevant for this forum, but I will give it a try.

I'm on christmas holiday and I would like to spend some time to explore Bergman oeuvre. Criterion Channel is the only place - as far as I'm concerned - where I can watch the most important of his films.

I subscribed to Criterion Channel using Nord VPN but I havn't found out a way to use the streaming service on my LG Smart TV. I have tried to sum up what I have tried and found out:

There is not a Criterion Channel app on my Smart TV.
I have tried to mirror my MacBook screen with my Smart TV, but the video player turns black.
I have also tried to connect my MacBook via AirPlay but it doesn't work either - maybe it has something to do with my internet connection?

Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Thank you for your time and considerations.

I spent the $40 for a Roku 4k streaming stick and just use that as my streaming hub. LG is really lacking in channels, Criterion and Crunchyroll are my most used and they have neither. Roku has everything I could possibly want. Another purchase might not be the solution you're looking for but it's worked great for me.

Picture is the reason I went with the LG after my TCL died. I have a C1 OLED and it looks incredible. You do need to tinker with settings out of the box though, I'd check Rtings for some idea on what to set it to if you haven't done that

Ayeeeitsgrand · 2 years ago

You could connect the MacBook to the tv via HDMI and be sure to use Safari as your browser. Chrome doesn’t work for me for some reason. I’m using a Fire Stick in Germany and the Criterion Channel works great. You have to change your location settings to be able to download the app through Amazon USA but it’s well worth it once it’s set up.

You'll probably want to get a Roku or Fire stick.

If it's really just Bergman you're after, you might want to check out the huge Criterion Blu-Ray collection they put out a few years back. It's phenomenal, and organized like a film festival.

Yeah if you ask a technical question on that sub you will get some pushback or told to come here lol.

But yeah you are supposed to be able to cast through AirPlay but I’ve never been able to figure it out either. I have a Samsung and it has criterion channel app but I don’t like it becasue it doesn’t have English subtitles If the film is in English. So I am like Amuro, but I have a fire cube. Works great. I do use some of the Samsung apps but the app options in the cube is numerous. Hope you get it figured out before your holiday is over!!

Airplay works fine for me, but the simplest solution is a cheap streaming device. Roku, Amazon, and Apple among others have apps for the Criterion Channel

I’ve never had luck with smart TVs. The apps only run smooth for a few months before it starts slowing down. This is because smart TVs have the processing power of a potato. I’d recommend just getting a TV that visually looks nice and has nice sound. Then when it comes to using apps, I’d recommend just getting either an Apple TV, Roku, Fire Stick etc.
