Get 3 free months of Apple TV+ if you sign up on your LG TV

By

LG is giving owners of its TVs as old as the 2016 models three free months of Apple TV+, if they sign up through the Apple TV+ app in the LG Content Store or by hitting the banner on the LG TV home menu.

The offer is available for LG 8K and 4K televisions from 2016 to 2021 models, and you’ll need to redeem the offer from November 15, 2021, to February 20, 2022. You’re limited to one account per TV, and per Apple ID, and the promotion is only available to new Apple TV+ subscribers.

Otherwise, you’re looking at three free months of the service that brings you the likes of Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, See, The Problem With John Stewart, and Foundation. And that’s just for starters.

“Starting November 15, LG Smart TV owners in over 80 countries will be able to enjoy Apple TV+ free for their first three months,” according t a press release. “The promotion applies to all compatible 2016-2021, 8K and 4K LG Smart TV models and is available to LG TV owners who sign up for the Apple TV+ promotion by February 13, 2022. The offer is redeemable by simply following the on-screen instructions in the LG Content Store or by clicking the Apple TV+ advertisement banner on the LG TV home menu.

“Apple TV+, available on all LG Smart TVs, is the first all-original video subscription service and home of today’s most imaginative storytellers, offering an award-winning and inspiring lineup of original series and films including the global hit comedy series Ted Lasso, starring and executive produced by Jason Sudeikis, The Morning Show starring and executive produced by Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, and the epic, world-building saga Foundation, which marks the first-ever on-screen adaptation of Isaac Asimov’s iconic novel series. New titles debuting this week include Dr. Brain, the first Korean language original series based on the widely popular Korean webtoon by Hongjacga, and Finch, starring Tom Hanks …”

Apple TV+ normally costs $5 a month (after a free seven-day trial), so you’re essentially getting a $15 deal here. The service is available on every major platform, including Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, Chromecast with Google TV — and, of course, Apple TV, iOS and MacOS devices.

Once you sign up on your LG device, you’ll be able to watch Apple TV+ on all those other devices, too.

YouTube TV details fixes for audio sync, better 1080p quality
YouTube TV on Apple TV.

YouTube TV — the most popular live-streaming service service in the U.S. with more than 5 million subscribers — this week gave an update on Reddit on some bug squashing and upcoming features, plus some welcome improvements. It's an interesting bit of transparency in an age in which app changelogs are all but useless.

Probably the most interesting is that YouTube TV is "testing transcoding changes, including a bit rate increase for live 1080p content." Resolution — that's the 1080p number — is just one part of what makes up the quality of the picture on your screen. Bit rate is another. Basically it refers to the amount of data being pushed to make up that resolution — like the difference between a 1,080-piece puzzle with a picture made up of five colors, or one made up of 500 colors. Think of it like that. The higher the bit rate, the better the picture. And as we've discussed before, we'll take a 1080p stream with a higher bit rate over a bad 4K stream any day of the week, particularly when it comes to sports (which is exactly what we've seen with Apple's excellent MLS streams).

Apple TV’s multiview feature is now live in beta
Apple TV's multiview feature as seen with Friday Night Baseball.

A new multiview feature — by which you can watch multiple games at one time — has hit the beta track o thef Apple TV operating system. It previously was hinted at in code, and it's now available for actual use.

Again, you'll have to be on the beta track of the Apple TV operating system for this to work at all, and as of right now, that's tvOS 16.5. But once it's enabled, it's a pretty simple process to add additional games, and flip between any of them using the Siri Remote. It wasn't immediately clear if Apple's implementation would be available to other applications, or if it would be kept just within the Apple TV app for now.

Apple TV: price, hardware, software, and more
Apple TV 4K hardware with remote and retail box.

Apple TV is the umbrella term for Apple's living room strategy. It encompasses hardware, software, and a streaming service, all of which share the "Apple TV" name. Or maybe you're talking about the Apple TV app, which is available most just on Apple TV, but also on other Apple products.

It gets a little confusing, perhaps. But that's where we come in.
