These services can help you change your virtual location.

Customer Replay

no then

Okay.
Have you tried reinstalling the application?

Customer Replay

can you talk us through how?
does that mean taking it off the tv and re-installing it

Yes, correct.
Please, specify the brand and the model of your device.

You mean LG, correct?

Customer Replay

yep, sorry

No worries! Just making sure.
Press the remote's Home button to bring up the Home screen on the TV. Use the remote to select the Pencil icon to the right of the apps.
Use the left arrow on the remote to go to an app you want to delete and press OK on the remote.
Use the remote's up arrow to go to the X at the top of the app. Press OK. Select Yes to remove the app.

Customer Replay

No worries, take your time.

Customer Replay

Okay, good!
Click on the Home/Start button to open the launch bar.
Find the LG Content Store on the launch bar and click on it.
Cycle through the arrows on your remote to reach the App tab and click on it.
Find Netflix and click Install.

Customer Replay

after clicking on content button we get network is disconnected

Okay, so on your TV you don't have access to the internet at all?

Customer Replay

yes we do but don't use it. We have been using netflix so we must have internet??

Could you please tell me when and how did the problem occur?

Customer Replay

just didn't connect when we turned Netflix on yesterday

Before that it was working just fine?

Customer Replay

yes

Just to confirm that we are on the same page: when you said that you get network disconnected, was it in the LG content store, right?

Customer Replay

yes thats right

On your TV, can you access any browser and try googling anything? It seems like only your TV is not connected to the Internet.

Customer Replay

pls explain how we get there

What internet-related apps do you have on your TV?

Customer Replay

google chrome? thats what we have on our computers

If you have Google Chrome on your TV, please, try accessing it.

Customer Replay

not sure which button to press on remote?

Press the Settings button on your remote. Select to Network > Network Status to bring up the network status page. You should see 'Wired/Wireless network is connected' depending on your network setup. Let's check the Internet this way.

Customer Replay

Sure, no rushing.

Customer Replay

  1. Open "Quick Setting Menu" of LG Smart TV by using remote controller & Go to
    "Network" setting menu
  2. Select Wi-Fi Connection and press OK button on remote controller
  3. Click on "Wi-Fi Connection" Click on desired network name to connect. Wait for few seconds until TV is connected to the selected network connection

Okay, good!
Click on the Home/Start button to open the launch bar.
Find the LG Content Store on the launch bar and click on it.
Cycle through the arrows on your remote to reach the App tab and click on it.
Find Netflix and click Install.

Customer Replay

What do you see instead?

Customer Replay

Okay, click on that.

Customer Replay

Okay, good job!

Customer Replay

Let's wait for it to install.
Okay, good.
Now go back to the home screen. You should see the Netflix app here.

Customer Replay

No problem. Let know when you have opened the app.

Customer Replay

trying to sort language

Do you mean that your TV is not in English?

Customer Replay

Okay, I see.
May I ask you to restart your TV?

Customer Replay

Okay, take your time.

Customer Replay

Then, please, try restarting the TV. It should help.

Customer Replay

Customer Replay

You see this, after you clicked on the Netflix app?

Customer Replay
