Aug 09, 2017Have you tried Xplay, we use that on our LG TV, it works and looks like PMS, you can try it free to check.
X10 aren't all that much better than other simular routers , Asus is better though, the X10 also has a lot of problems and feels like a Beta testing router.

Thanks for your reply - My LG TV is 2013 model, pre WebOS apparently. When I go to the app store I am told Plex apps aren't avaiable for my model becuse it can't run WebOS. Built-in obsolescence if you ask me. Any other suggestions? Good to know about the X10 though.

Android TV box, again, we have one on 1st edition sharp Aquos 1080p LCD TV, the box runs kodi and you can get PMS on Android, a good 8 core one will set you back (UK Pound, sorry) £50, it will also make your TV into a great media system .

I will look into this solution. It sounds similar to the Roku my ISP provided, although I have discovered I would have to crack it to developer mode to download any more apps to it.
