About USB storage devices for recording


The recordable time may vary depending on the capacity of your USB storage device.
When attempting to record on USB memory for the first time, the device performs a
performance check. This check must be completed successfully for recording to begin.
Only NTFS, FAT32, or exFAT file systems used in Windows operating systems support the
formatting of USB storage devices. USB storage devices formatted with utility programs not
38
supported by Windows may not be recognised.
Formatting a USB storage device on the device formats the storage device as the previous
file system of that USB storage device, NTFS, FAT32, or exFAT.
The recommended capacity for USB memory is 32GB, and the recommended capacity for
USB hard disk is 4TB or less. Devices exceeding the recommended capacity may not
function properly.
The available capacity of the USB HDD partition must be at least 1 GB.
There must be at least 4 GB of partition size on USB stick.
Recording may be interrupted if the remaining storage capacity is insufficient. Use of a
storage device with sufficient space for recording is recommended.
If multiple USB storage devices are connected, the last recorded storage device is selected
automatically.
Transfer speeds of the USB memory are different for each device.
Recording quality depends on the performance of the USB storage device.
If a USB storage device is faulty, recording may not be completed properly.
USB storage devices used for recording do not work when connected to a USB hub. Also,
since recording may not be completed properly when connected to a USB extension cable,
please connect it directly to the USB port.
We recommend using a USB storage device that is powered by an AC adapter plugged
into a power outlet.

Vorwort
LG Electronics Deutschland GmbH (nachfolgend „LG“ genannt) vertreibt in

164
Deutschland unter anderem auch TV-Geräte.
Mit Inkrafttreten des Medienstaatsvertrages fallen Hersteller von TV-Geräten unter die
Aufsicht der Medienanstalt des jeweiligen Bundeslandes, in dem der Hersteller seinen
(Vertriebs-)Sitz hat. Für LG ist somit die Landesmedienanstalt Hessen zuständig. Aus
dem Inhalt des Medienstaatsvertrags (MStV) ergeben sich Rechte und Pflichten aller
Anbieter von TV-Geräten und deren Benutzeroberflächen in Deutschland.
Im Vorwort zum Medienstaatsvertrag heißt es „Der Staatsvertrag enthält grundlegende
Regelungen für die Veranstaltung und das Angebot, die Verbreitung und die
Zugänglichmachung von Rundfunk und Telemedien in Deutschland“.
Unter anderem werden Hersteller von sogenannten Benutzeroberflächen durch den
deutschen Medienstaatsvertrag verpflichtet, eine Transparenzerklärung abzugeben. LG
TV-Geräte fallen somit unter die Vorschriften des Medienstaatsvertrages und müssen
damit auch eine Transparenzerklärung enthalten, die unter Punkt II. dargestellt wird.
Die Vorschrift zur Transparenzerklärung nach dem Wortlaut des § 85 MStV:
Die einer Medienplattform oder Benutzeroberfläche zugrunde liegenden Grundsätze für
die Auswahl von Rundfunk, rundfunkähnlichen Telemedien und Telemedien nach § 19
Abs. 1 und für ihre Organisation sind vom Anbieter transparent zu machen. Dies
umfasst die Kriterien, nach denen Inhalte sortiert, angeordnet und präsentiert werden,
wie die Sortierung oder Anordnung von Inhalten durch den Nutzer individualisiert
werden kann und nach welchen grundlegenden Kriterien Empfehlungen erfolgen und
unter welchen Bedingungen Rundfunk oder rundfunkähnliche Telemedien nach § 80
nicht in ihrer ursprünglichen Form dargestellt werden. Informationen hierzu sind den
Nutzern in leicht wahrnehmbarer, unmittelbar erreichbarer und ständig verfügbarer
Weise zur Verfügung zu stellen.

Informationen für den TV-Benutzer:


Der einfachen Verständlichkeit halber beschreibt LG seine Transparenzgrundsätze mit
Fragen und Antworten:

1. Nach welchen Grundsätzen wählt LG Sender, sendernahe Angebote und


reine „Video on demand“ (VOD) Anbieter aus?

Begriffsdefinition Sender: Unter einem Sender versteht LG einen Anbieter eines
linearen Fernsehprogrammes. „Linear“ bedeutet vereinfacht, dass der Sender ein
Programm ausstrahlt, auf das der TV-Benutzer keinen Einfluss nehmen kann.

Begriffsdefinition sendernahes Angebot: Hier handelt es sich beispielsweise um die
Mediatheken linearer TV-Sender, die durch den Benutzer abgerufen werden können.

165

Begriffsdefinition reine „VOD“ Anbieter: Hierbei handelt es sich um Anbieter von
Fernsehinhalten ohne einen angeschlossenen linearen Sender.

LG nimmt keinerlei Einfluss auf die Sortierung der linearen Sender, die über den
Kanalsuchlauf des TV-Gerätes gefunden werden. Dies ist auch abhängig von der zur
Verfügung stehenden Empfangsart (Kabel, Terrestrisch, Satellit). Die
Kanalinformationen und Sortierung der Kanäle werden vom jeweiligen Betreiber des
Übertragungsweges vorgegeben (beispielsweise Satelliten- oder Kabelnetzbetreiber).

2. Wie werden bei LG Programminhalte ausgewählt, angeordnet und


präsentiert?
Eine Auswahl der sendernahen Angebote und der reinen VOD Anbieter findet nur
insofern statt, als hierfür eine vom Anbieter programmierte Applikation für unser
Betriebssystem zur Verfügung gestellt werden muss.
Sobald eine solche Applikation alle notwendigen Tests durchlaufen hat, um eine
einwandfreie Funktion sicherzustellen, wird diese in unserem „Content Store“ zur
Verfügung gestellt. Hier ist sie dann auch diskrimierungsfrei auffindbar mittels
Suchfunktion oder Genre-Sortierung.
Die Anzeige und Reihenfolge der aus dem Content Store ausgewählten Applikationen
kann vom Benutzer selbst festgelegt werden, nachdem diese auf den TV
heruntergeladen wurden. Weitere Informationen dazu sind im Benutzerhandbuch zu
finden.
Die „Kacheln“ der verschiedenen VOD Anbieter werden zufällig sortiert im „Home
Menu“ (Home-Taste) des TV-Gerätes angezeigt. Es findet jede Stunde eine zufällige
Neusortierung dieser Kacheln Server-seitig statt. Das bedeutet, wird das TV-Gerät
ausgeschaltet und nach mehr als einer Stunde später wieder eingeschaltet, wird eine
neue Sortierung vom Server abgerufen und angezeigt. Auf die Inhalte und deren
Sortierung innerhalb der einzelnen „Kacheln“ der jeweiligen Anbieter hat LG keinerlei
Einfluss.
Empfehlungen durch LG, auf Basis bestehender Marketing-Kooperationen,
beschränken sich auf die Vorauswahl von Apps in der Schnellstart-Leiste. Diese
können selbstverständlich vom Benutzer komplett verändert oder entfernt werden und
mit einer eigenen Auswahl von Applikationen aus dem Content-Store ersetzt werden.

3. Kann die Anordnung von Inhalten durch den Nutzer individualisiert werden
und wenn ja, wie?
Der Benutzer kann die gewünschten Applikationen (siehe dazu Punkt 4.) und deren
Reihenfolge selbst bestimmen. Dafür gibt es ein Bearbeitungssymbol in der
Schnellstartleiste.
Die linearen Sender können ebenfalls frei nach eigenen Wünschen sortiert werden.
Es können hierfür auch verschieden Favoritenlisten erstellt werden.

4. Apps im LG Content Store

166
Auf der Startseite des LG Content Stores zeigt LG drei Arten von App-Kategorien an.

Neu aktualisierte Apps: enthält neu herausgegebene und kürzlich aktualisierte Apps.
Die Liste wird jeden Tag aktualisiert.

Beliebteste Apps: besteht aus den am häufigsten heruntergeladenen und am besten
bewerteten Apps innerhalb der letzten 30 Tage, basierend auf den LG Smart TV-
Nutzerverhalten des jeweiligen Landes. Apps im Launcher und im Premium-Bereich
sind in dieser Liste nicht enthalten. Die Reihenfolge wird in den Top 50 für jeden Aufruf
zufällig geändert. Die Top 50 App-Liste wird ebenfalls täglich aktualisiert.

Apps in der Premium-Kategorie: werden in Übereinstimmung mit der Anzahl der
jährlichen Nutzung durch alle LG Smart TV-Nutzer eines Landes (Anzahl der App-
Zugriffe) sortiert. (Die am häufigsten verwendeten Apps werden zuerst dargestellt.) Die
Anzahl der Apps kann je nach Plattform zwischen 7 und 20 variieren, und die
Anordnung kann nicht angepasst werden.

Auf der Seite „Alle Apps“ sind Apps in jeder Kategorie in alphabetischer Reihenfolge
angeordnet. (außer „Neu aktualisiert“ und „Am Beliebtesten“) Außerdem ist eine
Suchfunktion integriert.

5. Nach welchen grundlegenden Kriterien erfolgen Empfehlungen /


Vorauswahlen?
LG möchte in seinen TV-Geräten möglichst viele qualitativ hochwertige
Programmangebote und Applikationen anbieten. Daher gibt es mit vielen
Medienschaffenden Kooperationen.
LG installiert einige der meistgenutzen Applikationen bereits vor, damit diese leicht
vom Benutzer gefunden werden können. Selbstverständlich können diese - wie in
Punkt 3 erwähnt - jederzeit vollständig entfernt werden und durch Applikationen
ersetzt werden, die im „Content Store“ verfügbar sind.
Über die Suchfunktion werden, basierend auf einem Algorithmus, Empfehlungen
angezeigt, die auf Basis der Nutzung des TV-Gerätes die passenden Informationen
findet. (Über Fernbedienung, Sprachsuche usw.)
LG zeigt einige weitere Inhaltsempfehlungen basierend auf den Suchinformationen
wie Genre, Besetzung, Regisseur usw. an, welche die meistgesehenen und kürzlich
veröffentlichten Inhalte der letzten 30 Tage berücksichtigt. Die Liste der empfohlenen
Inhalte wird täglich aktualisiert.

Wie findet Werbung auf den TV-Geräten statt?


LG benutzt ab der WebOS Version 4.5 (ab Modelserie 2019) kleine „Werbekacheln“
im Home-Menü. Das heisst, es findet keine automatische Überblendung des
laufenden Programms statt, sondern der Benutzer muss beispielsweise das
Abspielen eines Videos selbst auslösen, indem er auf diese „Werbekachel“ klickt.

7. Werden bei LG laufende Programme überlagert? Wenn JA, wie und aus

167
welchem Grund?
LG unterscheidet drei Arten von Überlagerungen:

Systemmeldungen

Überblendungen werden ausschließlich für wichtige Systemmeldungen verwendet


(beispielsweise bei einer unmittelbar bevorstehenden Beendigung einer Applikation).
Dies ist notwendig um gegenfalls Datenverlust vorzubeugen.

Vom Benutzer ausgelöste Menüs oder Anzeigen

Es kann beispielsweise ein „Sport-Alarm“ eingestellt werden, wenn man über


Sportereignisse informiert werden möchte, die das Lieblingsteam betreffen. In
unserem aktuellen Betriebssystem WebOS 6.0 findet darüber hinaus keine
Überlagerung des Programmes statt, da LG sämtliche Aktionen in einem
Vollbildmenü stattfinden lässt.
In Betriebssystemen früherer Geräte gibt es vom Benutzer ausgelöste
Überlagerungen, da hier noch nicht mit einem Vollbildmenü gearbeitet werden
konnte.

Überlagerungen die von den Sendern selbst eingespielt werden (via HbbTV)

Auf diese Einblendungen der jeweiligen Sender hat LG keinen Einfluss.

8. Warum werden Sender mit öffentlichem Wert („Public Value“) prominent


dargestellt?
Auf Grund der aktuellen Rechtslage, hier im Besonderen des Medienstaatsvertrages,
ergibt sich die Notwendigkeit für eine einfache Auffindbarkeit, der durch die Behörden
definierten Anbieter von Inhalten, zu sorgen.

9. Was ist der „Magic Link“?


Empfehlungen auf der Magic Link-Seite beinhalten empfohlene Inhalte von YouTube,
anderen Kanälen und zusätzliche Inhalte, die den Inhalten (Titel, Genre,
Beschreibung, Besetzung, Regisseur usw.) der Programme ähneln, die der Nutzer
gerade anschaut. Diese Funktion kann über die Fernbedienung aktiviert werden
(Siehe Bedienungsanleitung des TV-Gerätes, da es unterschiedliche TV-Versionen
gibt).

10. Was wird mir im EPG (Electronic Program Guide) angezeigt?


Hier werden das laufende Fernsehprogramm und folgende Sendungen in Textform
und auch grafisch dargestellt. Die Inhalte, Logos und Vorschaubilder werden durch
einen externen Anbieter in Kombination mit DVB-eigenen Informationen angezeigt.

168
11. Gibt es regelmäßige Updates für mein TV-Gerät?
Da es sich bei Ihrem TV-Gerät um ein Gerät mit „digitalen Elementen“ handelt, gibt es
kontinuierliche Aktualisierungen (Leistungsverbesserungen, Sicherheitsupdates) um
eine optimale Funktion sicherzustellen. Es gilt allerdings zu beachten, dass LG
keinen Einfluss auf die Aktualisierungen der „Dritt-Anbieter-Applikationen (Apps)“ auf
Ihrem TV-Gerät hat. Die Verantwortung hierfür liegt allein bei dem jeweiligen
Eigentümer der App. Es werden jedoch umgehend Aktualisierungen vorgenommen,
sobald diese uns vom Eigentümer der App zur Verfügung gestellt werden.

Sonstiges
Alle in diesem Dokument beschriebenen Funktionen beziehen sich auf die aktuelle
Benutzeroberflächen-Version WebOS 6.0. Dies kann je nach technischen
Gegebenheiten in den Vorgängerversionen abweichen. Die Funktionalitäten einer
Benutzeroberflächen-Version richten sich stets nach den zur Verfügung stehenden
technischen Möglichkeiten (Prozessoren/Speicherkapazitäten usw.).
Diese Transparenz-Erklärung finden Sie online und auch in Ihrem LG TV-Gerät.
