>> I’m surprised that a 2020 LG OLED TV doesn’t come with U.K. catch-up services;
...not half as surprised as I was! (Not least because, as above, I already had a cheaper LG set from the previous year, with all the services included). It is/was a stunning omission.
One of the reasons for changing was that those services that existed on my previous TV had become virtually unusable, as the interface had slowed down so much.
Right at the last minute I hit a review saying "No UK TV catch-up apps at launch" which I then confirmed by other reviews. All the LG specs subtly excluded any mention of such services (though they were mentioned for earlier sets which had them).
Digging further indicated that (though it might happen by firmware update) there was no commitment to them appearing anytime soon, if at all.
I've just done a quick search of an example review (which is in fact dated this week, but might be a rehashed version). It indicates that they might have caught up (sic) with iPlayer, but not the other UK-catch up services.
Note the "Cons" in the review headlines.
