jsimon77 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Hello, I'm looking for some help, programing tips for my new LG TV. I just installed a new LG 83 G2 TV. It's great. My C4 dealer was here and did the install and the programing. When I press "Watch" on my remote he added an option that says "TV Apps" which takes me to the main menu on the LG TV that has of my apps. This works fine as long as my system is already on. So if I'm on Apple TV or DirecTV and press "Watch/TV Apps" it takes me to that LG menu. BUT....if the whole system is OFF (and when I turned it off I was on another input such as AppleTV or DirecTV) and I press "Watch/TV Apps" the system turns on and I'm seeing the screen savor for my Yamaha receiver. The menu button does not bring up the LG menu. I have to again press "Watch/TV Apps". Once I do that it works fine. I'm trying to figure out a way where I don't have to do this 2 times to get it to work. Either because it's not set up right or I need to add a program? Thanks!

slim42dog Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Are you using the the LG IP Driver for control? I have this very issue with the IP Control on my 83G2. My way around was switching from IP to Serial. Now when the TV boots up from being in standby it switches inputs reliably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did set it up via the IP. I think I found a coding work around which adds a delay IF TV is off when the system is turned on and TV Apps is pressed. I'll keep testing it but so far so good.

cnicholson Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I also have the 83" G2 (great TV, BTW). TV seems unresponsive to source switching for a bit after power-on (even when you turn off all the power saving stuff). Maybe 10-20 seconds. If you wait, it will work. Not ideal, of course.
