An Update on Our LG TV

Two years in on our LG C3 TV and I am finally starting to get comfortable with the native LG interface. We've been using either the Rogers apps or casting from the Chromecast. But the Rogers remote is a bit awkward to use and the Chromecast can be glitchy with some services (Disney+ in particular).

LG recently upgraded their WebOS and it's quite usable, although with my vision I occasionally have to get up to get closer to the TV. My main problem with it is that the remote is not backlit, a major omission for a TV that's likely to be used in a dim room. (It does have voice control, which I have yet to set up, but I will get to it).
There is also an app for Android that can be used in place of the remote and does finally seem to work the way it should. I had tried it when we first got the TV and found it had issues with the earlier version of WebOS.
Now I am in the process of getting the various apps for services that we use to work. More on that another time.
