London, August 08, 2017 – LG Electronics has announced that from today owners of its Smart TVs will be able to benefit exclusively from the introduction of the Sky Store TV app integrated into the LG webOS platform. Sky Store, regularly the number one digital retailer for new release movies, is the easy way to buy or rent the latest blockbusters on your TV, so you’re never far away from the hit premieres.
With new movies, from Beauty and the Beast, to Kong: Skull Island and Logan added every week, Sky Store allows users to buy or rent the latest movies straight from the cinema. When you buy a movie, you get the digital HD copy, plus the DVD in the post.
Since launching in 2014, LG’s award-winning webOS Smart TV platform has been praised by technology experts for its ease-of-use and advanced, intuitive user experience. And now viewers will have exclusive access to blockbuster movies via the Sky Store app, direct to the biggest and best screen in the home.
Darren Petersen, Head of Product Marketing & Partnerships for LG Electronics UK, comments: “We’re delighted to again partner with Sky to bring its latest movie content to our Smart TV platform. The Sky Store service offers our users even more choice when deciding what entertainment to enjoy on our award-winning TVs and an unrivalled selection of the latest movies, giving yet another reason for potential new customers to select an LG TV.”
James Morton, Head of Strategy & Business Development for Sky Store, said: “Sky Store continues to be a huge hit and as the UK’s regular number one digital retailer for new movie releases, it is fantastic we can offer LG Smart TV customers blockbuster movies straight to their big screen at home.”
The app launches on LG TVs with brand new releases Boss Baby, Guardians Of The Galaxy 2 and Smurfs. Sky Store will be available across the UK and Ireland on all LG TVs with webOS from 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5 including LG’s 2017 line-up of OLED TVs.
