Why the fuck is my TV asking me to agree new terms. It is my TV, and 4 years old.

So I have to get a 6 year old grandchild to click “agree”.

Good luck LG enforcing a contract against a 6 year old, who is not legally old enough to enter in to any such contract.

Even if you could enforce such a contract against her (LOL), you have no contract with me, or any other user or viewer of the TV.

So why the fuck do you bother? #LG

Woot! replacement screen came in. Tech said he'd never seen a C1 screen fail before (he has the same model) but it's a manufacturing fault so it's free.

He ripped the old one off and put the new one on together with me, set it up and we're away! Took about 20 mins. Faith restored #LG

Schon krass: #LG zwingt mich als Nutzer eines seiner Fernsehgeräte zuzustimmen, dass sie mein komplettes Sehverhalten erfassen und weiterverarbeiten. Wenn ich das nicht tue, darf ich auf diesem Gerät noch nicht mal Netflix starten - für das ich 20 Euro monatlich zahle.

Wie komme ich aus der Nummer raus ohne diesen Fernseher zu schrotten? Und gibt es einen Gerätehersteller, der das nicht auf die gleiche Weise macht...?

If you're thinking about buying an #LG #TV at the moment (specifically the G Series) - don't.

We're having constant issues with short sound blips (half second, intermittent, no rhyme, reason or replicability) when watching anything connected by HDMI.

Having replaced all HDMI leads, DVD player (and indeed bought a new playstation), the issue continues.

Having spoken to their service representatives, this is a known issues with the G Series and they are 'waiting for an engineers report'.

Searching online reveals that it's not just us - this has been going on for quite some time. No ETA on a fix at the moment either.

It's a real pisser as it only happens on connected devices (ie not TV/streaming) - the sound quality and picture quality otherwise are just brilliant.

Anyway, social media grumble over. Hope it's helpful for someone.
