Adding content is not difficult, but it takes time since the process requires using the remote for navigation, and the design of the remote is dreadful. The approach I take is to start at the home screen, select the icon to add apps, and then use the remote to tediously type in the name of the app. As you type in the name, a selection menu will appear on the screen, and will be refined as more of the name is typed in. If the app is available in the Content Store, it will appear on the selection menu. Then, click on the selected app. At that point, an 'Install' button should appear on the screen. After the app has been installed, it will appear at the far right end of the app menu - I then use the 'Edit' function to move the app to the left so that I cluster the apps that I use at the left end of the menu. A problem that you may encounter is that the app you are searching for won't appear in the app menu. The WebOS used by LG is primitive and isn't compatible some some apps. For example, I have been unable to install apps for PBS, PBS Passport, a local broadcast station, or Acorn TV. I think these can be accessed by means of an add-on Roku device.
