ITVX hasn't rolled out to LG TVs yet - but ITVX have posted on Twitter that, even when it does, the live channels won't be available on LG. Does this extend to the FAST channels, I wonder?

In that case almost certainly I’d say. Basically it sounds like ITV X is already on LG in all but name  in that case as it’s already had an update to have the ITV X layout. 

I wonder what reason is? Again other apps have live channels on the platform, such as Pluto TV and iPlayer so it’s technically possible. But we’ve seen the Samsung app will have live channels, so perhaps that’s android based or something and easier to do? 

Either way, it all seems pretty half arsed.

*Edit: seems the LG’s webOS and Samsung operating systems are based Linux based.
