My cousin was searching for a live TV streaming service to replace his cable TV. I recommended Sling TV since it provides both live and on-demand content. My cousin accepted my suggestion and installed the Sling TV app on his LG TV through the LG Content Store. After that, he visited (sling.com) and subscribed to the Sling TV plan. Then, I guided him in activating the Sling TV app on his LG Smart TV.
