LG uses webOS as the operating system for smart TVs, which allows you to operate the TV efficiently and easily, use the network and internet streaming functions. This gives you access to an extensive list of streaming channels and allows you to browse the web, just like on a PC.

To make the webOS platform even more efficient, LG has partnered with Xumo to add an additional streaming app feature called LG Channels (formerly LG Channel Plus).

LG Channels provides direct access, via an on-screen app icon, to over 100 streaming channels without having to download and install them all. All channels are free to watch, but may contain ads.

The channels offer news, sports and entertainment from various sources.
