You have an LG TV? Cause I have one and want to go Office Space on it because of that shit. Not only will I never buy another LG TV, I'll never buy another LG product because of it.

My LG TV is great ... But I've never connected it to the internet and I never will.

Yeah mine was vlaned off from everything else and ethernet connected. I factory reset it and took it off the internet completely, but the problem still pops up every couple of months. Unplugging it and letting the capacitors discharge (like 15-20 minutes) seems resolve it for a few weeks but it just happens again.

Glad you got a good one, but the issue is something that apparently plagues their TVs. Just looking around on forums for "LG out of memory" and you'll find people with a ton of different models and firmware versions complaining about the same issue. LGs fix for it also hilarious cause they're like, "Have you tried deleting all your apps?" Which really is just admitting they have no clue why it keeps happpening.

Yep, it is an LG. However, after doing a factory reset and plugging a roku soundbar into it, I’ve had no problems with it since. I did the same with our other tv, a Samsung—sans the reset because I never bothered setting it up with Wi-Fi access in the first place.

I too saw all the complaints from others, which led me to the soundbar because I figured that if they’re going to suggest deleting all the apps as a solution, I may as well make sure and make it permanent.
