1. Check your LG TV Firmware updates

Firmware is the software that runs on your TV and helps it function correctly. It's designed to make sure your TV runs smoothly, has the latest features, and provides the best performance possible. Firmware updates are released periodically to fix bugs, add new features, or provide security patches. 

Checking for firmware updates on an LG TV is a relatively straightforward process 

First, you'll need to make sure that your TV is connected to the internet. 

Once you've done that, follow these steps: 

• Press the "Settings" button on your remote.

• Open the "General" tab.
• Select "About this TV".
• Click "Check for updates".

Once the update is installed, power cycle your TV by: 

• Unplugging your TV from the power outlet.
• Pressing the power button on your TV (not on the remote) for at least 60 seconds.
• Plugging your TV back into the wall outlet.

9. Checking your TV's video settings

Another troubleshooting tip is to check your TV's video settings. This is because the video settings can affect the performance of streaming services like Hallmark Movies Now.

Here are some steps you can take to check your TV's video settings:

i. Access the video settings menu

The first step is to access the video settings menu on your TV. This is usually done by pressing the “menu” button on your remote control or by pressing the “input” button to select the “video settings” option.

ii. Check the resolution

Once you have accessed the video settings menu, the next step is to check the resolution. This is typically found in the “picture” menu. The resolution should be set to “1080p” or “4K” if you are using a 4K TV. This will ensure that the Hallmark Movies Now app is working properly.

iii. Check the refresh rate

The refresh rate is an important setting for streaming services like Hallmark Movies Now. This is because a higher refresh rate can reduce buffering and improve video quality. The refresh rate should be set to “60Hz” or “120Hz” depending on your TV.

Make sure that the HDMI cable you are using is the correct type for your TV. HDMI cables come in different versions, so it is important to make sure that you are using the correct one. This will help ensure that the Hallmark Movies Now app is working properly.

10. Try another device

If possible, try using the Hallmark Movies Now App on another device to see if the issue is specific to your LG Smart TV.

If you have access to another device, such as a laptop, tablet, or smartphone, try accessing the app on that device. This will help determine if the issue is with your device or the Hallmark Movies Now app itself.

If the app works on another device, then the issue is likely with your device. This can be due to outdated software, incompatible hardware, your Hallmark Movies account, Hallmark's servers or a corrupt app installation. 

To fix this, you should update your software, make sure your device meets the minimum requirements, and reinstall the app.
