Sure, I can see it. Working on the solution, *****!
First of all lets update your TV:
Press the Settings button on your LG TV remote control.
Scroll down to the All Settings tab and click to expand it, then select Support.
Next, open the Software Update menu and click the Check for Updates
If there’s indeed an update pending, click Download and Install.

Customer Replay

there is no software up date menu at all and no support either

Is your TV older than 2016?

Customer Replay

puchased Sept 2015

Then I am afraid the ITVX app is not supported on your TV>

Customer Replay

would that be the same for the uktv app for freeview?

Almost all of the apps are not supported on TVs older than 2016, so I would imagine that this one would also be unavailable.
Can you try searching for that app like you searched for ITVX?

Customer Replay

it looks like i was sold a bum steer by Currys in 2015 september the assured me that LG were the leading manufacture of tvs for the future

Well if you think about it, the TV is 8 years old already. New standards for the streaming apps were only implemented in 2016, that's why older TVs don't have them.

Customer Replay

Yes i will try the other but dont hold your breath. thanks for your time and patient though

You are always welcome, *****. Was pleasure helping you!
