Thank you!
So to find out how much memory is in your LG TV, do the following:
1. Take the remote control and press the button with a gear symbol button. You will get the TV menu;
2. Select All Settings. Is a circle with three dots in the TV menu
3. Then select (General), and the General menu will open, go to this menu and select Devices (information about available devices).
4. Now select TV Management, another menu opens, and like TV info.
5. You see available internal memory;

Just got back in and tried getting in and out of 3 utube vids. Seems to be working
can you explain what caused it?
Oliver Maslou
Oliver Maslou Tech Expert & Writer
Sure, *****.
The problem was that any device has a limited amount of memory and limited processing abilities. So, the procedure, that you have done before, should be repeated from time to time.
Is there anything else I can do for you today?
Customer Reply
Ok, it seems to be ok now. Thanks for the help
