NASA+ will be available on most major platforms via the NASA App on iOS and Android mobile and tablet devices; streaming media players such as, Roku, Apple TV, and Fire TV; and on the web across desktop and mobile devices.

What's the betting it won't be on LG's WebOS though? 😭

My deepest sympathies to all 3 of you.

[-] dlpkl@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Lol you joke but that includes every LG OLED tv sold to date

[-] ABCDE@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Don't most with one have a better box?

[-] LUHG_HANI@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Usually yes, Plex is slow as shit but honestly iPlayer is still fantastic even on a b7 2017 oled.

[-] ABCDE@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That's good; it stopped working on my aunt and uncle's Sony (although I guess it's a bit old now, it still works well) so had to get them a Fire stick instead.

I have a C3 and don't use WebOS for anything. I have a PS5 and Roku connected to it instead.

Who will think of all the palm pre's out there

Good news - the Apple TV app is free and runs on LG's WebOS

Will that have the NASA app? I’m sorry if this is a stupid question.

[-] HeartyBeast@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

From the sound of it, AppleTV will carry the NASA+ TV channel. The app is presumably something that sits on your smartphone and is another way to access content

[-] harry_balzac@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Don't say that... I'm planning on getting an LG

[-] SeaJ@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago

Get a streaming stick. The hardware TV manufacturers use to run their OS is generally bottom of the barrel and is sluggish as hell.

[-] appel@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago

Their OLED panels are top notch, so don't sleep on it. Just get a separate streaming device as the experience on Roku, Android TV and Apple TV is just miles better.

[-] thanevim@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

As others have said, don't buy TVs for their smart features. Just use a streaming stick. They are easier to replace as software changes, and there's practically no real benefit to ever putting a TV online in the first place.

Also, LG panels are the best visual quality. You're doing good going the LG route. Just keep it offline.

LG OLEDs are amazing, worth the price. Their OS is also very good compared to other TVs, I used it for years without an outside player. Now I have an Apple TV, which is better, but I still miss the LG’s magic controller.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 year ago

Bro just get an external player and don't worry about the garbage OS built into the screen.

[-] SexyTimeSasquatch@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Oh, it's a total guarantee they won't, ugh.

[-] vin@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 year ago

Can't you just play it from the web?

[-] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I bit the bullet and got a Google tv with Chromecast because webos always gets left behind (and there was no homebrew YouTube alternative like smarttube on it)

[-] antlion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

If you haven’t updated the TVs software you can probably root it (rootmy.tv). The Homebrew store has ad-free YouTube.

[-] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

My tv didn't allow the exploits that currently exist, i remember trying and failing. That's why I ended up with just using something externally. Shame, i enjoyed the magic remote
