My friend recently watched one of the episodes of 60 Days In, and he liked it so much. 60 Days In is streaming on the A&E channel. He asked me how to get the A&E app on his LG Smart TV to watch this TV show on a big screen. As the A&E app is unavailable in the LG Content Store, I guided him to watch A&E by visiting its official website through a web browser. Then, he signed in with a cable TV provider account and watched A&E on his TV.
Alternatively, I explained to him how to wirelessly stream A&E on an LG Smart TV using the casting and screen mirroring method. In this article, I will teach all the possible procedures to watch A&E on an LG Smart TV.
