Get Acorn TV on Your LG Smart TV: Install It or Fix a Missing App

Search for Acorn TV in your LG TV’s Apps or Content Store, install it if listed, and check model- and region-specific availability if it is missing.
Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Press Home on your LG remote, open Apps or LG Content Store, search for Acorn TV, then select Install and Launch if it appears. Whether it is available depends on your TV model and region, so a missing listing does not necessarily mean the app is unavailable on every LG TV.

Install Acorn TV from the LG app store

  1. Connect your TV to the internet. Sign in to your LG account if prompted, and make sure the LG Services Country matches your actual location.

LG describes this app-store process in its instructions for installing apps on an LG TV. Exact menu paths vary by webOS version; LG provides version-specific guidance for using the LG Content Store.

Why Acorn TV may not appear

LG does not guarantee the same app catalogue on every television. Its Content Store availability guidance, updated June 5, 2025, says supported apps can differ by the TV’s region of purchase and model. Check the catalogue for your specific TV and region, including the app’s listed webOS requirements. The available guidance does not establish a universal list of LG models or regions that support Acorn TV.
