LG TVs popular app, Channels, is about to be improved and offer Brits a more streamlined viewing experience via LG Channels 3.0.
The manufacturer said a new navigation system with “more engaging placements for content discovery and an enhanced channel guide” is set to help users “discover the content that resonates with them”.
It is designed similar to The Roku Channel, a free American streaming ad-supported service.
The upgrade means users don’t have to switch between different apps while browsing for entertainment.
There will be three sections, Home, Live and On Demand.
On the Home tab, viewers will be offered a selection of features channels, collections created by the user, and premium on demand streaming.
Meanwhile, Live allows Brits to press play on channels directly from the app.
The On Demand section is a collection of movies and TV shows, with categories such as Popular Now.
