    I’d only disagree that their remote sucks - I like it a lot, but I also don’t know others! It especially pisses me off how it doesn’t keep the apps in the motherfucking order I put them in.

      It’s strange because I’ve never had an issue with the app order changing. It’s consistently worked for me since I bought the TV. It’s an older C8 but still works perfectly well.

        I don’t know why it always moves some around randomly after turning off and then on the TV, but I gave up trying.

        Maybe you know it, but is there a way to make the home screen the standard view after turning it on? I don’t have cable and I cannot find anything to do that, and it’s my only real gripe with it left, I just accepted the rest.

        I’m mostly happy with it, I just hate that they collect all the fucking data they can about you through the TV and mobile app, and you cannot even use simple speech-to-text “without internet” (I blocked any and all traffic to LG so they can suck my nuts).

        Maybe I should also add, regarding your point, that I did not have a TV before for many, many years and mostly only use it when people are over or to listen to Spotify while doing stuff around the house.

          Which model do you have? Mine doesn’t have a “home screen”. It turns on to the last used input. There is a bar that pops up from the bottom with all the apps on it and that opens when you turn it on. Honestly I didn’t realise how different the UI may be across different models.
