I warmly welcome. I bought a LG TV with recording option, but it is only the ability to record live TV and I only have internet TV. My question, is it possible to somehow remedy this so that I can record my favorite programs? Thank you in advance for your help.

I also bought a LG TV and can record. Read the instructions.

Yes, that's right, but only live TV (satellite / cable) And I have internet TV and I can't record it.

I bought a new TV so it seems to miss the point. But I read somewhere that you can get around it somehow, but I can't find it for hell ?

You bought a TV, not a multimedia center. The TV is not VISTULA or BIZON. And as the saying goes, as for everything, it sucks.

Your answer, buddy, makes absolutely no sense. Because the TV has such an option and today's TVs are so charged with technology that it does not differ much from a phone or a tablet. And your answer is completely off topic. The TV has a recording option and I would like to know how I can use it

Can you know what this TV model is? The existing TVs do have recording, but as someone mentioned above - only terrestrial / cable and satellite TV if it supports it. The manual mentions something about recording internet tv? If not, it means that there is no such option on the factory software. Even if it supports it, the recording will be encrypted and you will not watch the recording outside of TV.

Then you are smarter and for what purpose do you ask?

Mdm150 so I know that it will be possible to watch only on TV but that does not bother me. The TV is LG 55sj8109

That's why I wrote "... if available". From what I can see it there is no "alternative".

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around the limitations of recording capabilities on LG Smart TVs, specifically regarding internet TV. The original poster seeks to record online programs but finds that the TV only supports recording live terrestrial or cable broadcasts. Suggestions include purchasing a TV box to enable recording, but the poster expresses frustration as they believe the TV should have this functionality. Other participants clarify that while some LG models may support recording, it is often limited to specific types of broadcasts, and recordings from internet TV may be encrypted and only viewable on the TV itself. The model in question is the LG 55SJ8109, and there is mention of using an external hard drive for storage.

FAQ

TL;DR: 3 users confirm LG’s built‑in PVR records only broadcast sources, not internet apps; “only terrestrial/cable/satellite,” one reply notes. [Elektroda, mdm150, post #16978628]

Quick Facts

Model discussed: LG 55SJ8109 (webOS TV). [Elektroda, Akselerator, post #16978876]
Native recorder scope: live terrestrial/cable/satellite—no OTT/app recording. [Elektroda, mdm150, post #16978628]
Recordings are encrypted and playable only on the same TV. [Elektroda, mdm150, post #16978628]
Common workaround suggested: add a TV BOX for internet‑TV recording features. [Elektroda, 1098678, post #16978543]
No “alternative firmware” was identified to unlock OTT recording. [Elektroda, mdm150, post #16980014]

Can LG Smart TVs record programs from internet TV apps?

No. The built‑in recorder targets broadcast inputs (terrestrial/cable/satellite), not OTT apps. One reply put it plainly: “only terrestrial/cable and satellite.” [Elektroda, mdm150, post #16978628]

Does the LG 55SJ8109 specifically support recording from apps like IPTV or VOD?

Users report the 55SJ8109 can record live broadcast sources but not internet‑delivered app content. The factory software lacks this option. [Elektroda, mdm150, post #16978628]

Are LG TV recordings encrypted? Can I play them on a PC?

Yes, recordings are encrypted and locked to the TV. You cannot watch them on a PC or another device. [Elektroda, mdm150, post #16978628]

What workaround lets me record internet TV on an LG set?

Use an external TV BOX that offers its own recording or DVR capability. This was the community’s recommended path. [Elektroda, 1098678, post #16978543]

Will an old USB hard drive work for LG recording?

One user recorded to a roughly 10‑year‑old 400 GB drive. That shows older drives can still function for PVR. [Elektroda, Akselerator, post #16979363]

Is there alternative firmware to add internet‑TV recording on this model?

No alternative software was found in the discussion. If the manual lacks it, the TV doesn’t provide it. [Elektroda, mdm150, post #16980014]

Why does Record work on live TV but not inside apps?

The TV’s PVR hooks into the tuner path for broadcast signals, not into app streams. Apps remain outside the recorder pipeline. [Elektroda, mdm150, post #16978628]

Can I at least watch my recordings on another LG in the house?

No. Due to encryption and device binding, playback works only on the TV that made the recording. [Elektroda, mdm150, post #16978628]

Does the LG manual ever mention recording internet TV?

If the manual doesn’t state it, the feature isn’t present in the factory software. The thread reiterates this limitation. [Elektroda, mdm150, post #16978628]

What do people mean by a “TV BOX” in this thread?

A TV BOX refers to an external streaming device you add to the TV to gain features such as recording or DVR inside its own apps. [Elektroda, 1098678, post #16978543]

Is there any risk or edge case I should know about with LG recordings?

Yes. Even when recording works, files are encrypted, so you cannot archive or edit them off‑TV. This limits long‑term portability. [Elektroda, mdm150, post #16978628]

How can I quickly verify whether my LG records an internet stream?

Try this: 1. Check the manual for OTT/app recording. 2. Open an internet‑TV app and look for a record option. 3. Expect no native record controls; the platform doesn’t expose them. [Elektroda, mdm150, post #16978628]
