When I tried installing TBS on my LG Smart TV, I found the app was unavailable in the LG Content Store. Fortunately, my LG TV has a built-in web browser. So, I visited the TBS official website (tbs.com) on a web browser to stream the TBS originals. Sometimes, I cast TBS on my LG Smart TV using the Watch TBS app on my Android.
The TBS app is accessible with a TV provider subscription. The supported TV providers are AT&T, Spectrum, Comcast XFINITY, DIRECTV, Dish, Cox, Suddenlink, Optimum, Verizon, etc.
