not sure since I connected it to the cable before setup it does have wifi though and you can add apps like with a firestick. it also goes through a channel search on setup so most likely.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Well when we first set it up and was trying to figure out the tv we somehow got to the lg channels and not our regular cable. We got to our regular cable after a few minutes, but we still have the lg channels. So that is my answer
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The LG Channels app that is preinstalled on the LG 43 inch Class 4K Smart UHD TV with AI ThinQ® (42.5'' Diag), Model # 43UN7300PUF provides over 180 channels of free TV content along with other entertainment, educational, new and gaming apps. You have to be connected to the internet to stream from the LG Channels. Depending on which area you are in, you can also use Locast which is a a non-profit public service aimed at bringing live, local channels to home viewers via the Internet. Launched in January 2018, Locast (an amalgamation of “local” “broadcast”) uses digital translators, from their own towers installed in key cities, to pick up local television broadcasts and transmit them digitally. The towers work like traditional translators that were used to boost local signals to a wider region when a primary broadcaster’s signal was too weak, thus ensuring that the whole community could access local news, sports, and regional programming. Currently, the site is accessible in 19 cities where Locast has established towers. While it is free, the site urges donations to help support the service and build more towers, and thus occasionally donation ads will briefly interrupt broadcasting. Locast is available in the following 19 TV markets: Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Puerto Rico, Rapid City, San Francisco, Tampa, Seattle, Sioux City, Sioux Falls, Washington DC. In areas that can get it, Locast is available to stream online, or through the app on mobile devices, as well as on televisions through AppleTV, Roku, FireTV, AirPlay, or Google Cast. The service is pretty straightforward. In regions that have Locast towers, you can access all the local broadcast networks. It is easy to get started, viewers just go to Locast.org and enter your address, or the site also uses a geolocator...^IFV
