But before you can channel surf your way to live sports glory or binge the latest reality TV meltdown, you gotta get Sling settled on your LG TV. Don't worry, this ain't rocket science (although, if it was, wouldn't that be an amazing TV show?). Here's how to turn your LG TV into a live TV oasis with Sling in just a few simple steps.
Step 1: The Great LG TV App Hunt
First things first, grab your trusty LG TV remote (or that half-eaten bag of chips you've been using as a makeshift one – no judgment here). Navigate your way to the LG app store, that magical land where all your streaming dreams can come true. Here's where things can get a little tricky, depending on your LG TV model.

The Pre-Installed Party: If you're the lucky owner of a newer LG Smart TV (think WebOS 3.0 or later), Sling might already be pre-installed and chilling on your home screen, ready to be your partner in live TV crime. Do a quick victory dance (air guitar solo optional) and skip to Step 2.

The Downloading Detective: If Sling isn't there greeting you with a virtual handshake, fear not! Most LG TVs are compatible with the Sling app. Just use the search function in the app store and type in "Sling TV".
