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 10 months ago (2 children)

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

Don't most with one have a better box?

[–] LUHG_HANI@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] harry_balzac@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (4 children)

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

[–] SeaJ@lemm.ee 17 points 10 months 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.

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.

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 10 months ago

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

[–] SexyTimeSasquatch@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

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

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 10 months ago (1 children)

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

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
