How to: Install Aruvo on LG Smart TV

🧾Summary

This article provides an overview of the steps to install Aruvo TV on LG smart TV models.

Since LG smart TVs use a proprietary operating system, the Aruvo app will not install and run correctly on these TVs. However, you can still use Aruvo on an LG TV by installing the app on an external HDMI streaming device that runs a compatible operating system, like Google TV, Apple TV, or Roku.

⚙️ Steps to configure and install Aruvo on LG smart TV

1. Configure your LG smart TV to select external HDMI input on bootup:

Since LG's proprietary operating system cannot run the Aruvo app, you'll need to configure the TV to automatically switch to an HDMI device which has Aruvo installed. Follow these steps to select the HDMI input:

Select the HDMI input where the device running Aruvo will be installed.
Press the "Settings" (gear) button on the TV remote control to open the main Settings menu.
Select the "All Settings" option, then press the "OK" button to select it.
Select the "General" option from the next menu, then press the "OK" button to select it.
Select the "System" option from the next menu, then press the "OK" button to select it.
Select the "Additional Settings" option from the next menu, then press the "OK" button to select it.
Select the "Home Settings" option from the next menu, then press the "OK" button to select it.
Select the "Power On Screen" option from the next menu, then press the "OK" button to select it.
Select the "Recent Input" option from the next menu, then press the "OK" button to select it.

Note: Ensure that the "TV Quick Turn On" or "Q-Start" option is DISABLED on the LG TV settings to ensure that the TV switches to the last-selected HDMI input when it powers on.

2. Install Aruvo on external HDMI streaming device:

If you haven't yet, you'll need to install and configure the Aruvo TV app on your external HDMI streaming device. Follow the instructions for your HDMI device type, as found below:
