Unfortunately, the Acorn TV is not available on the LG Content Store, and thus, you cannot install the app on your LG Smart TV models. However, you can still access its service on the smart TV via streaming services and by using the Acorn TV app’s Cast/AirPlay function. Acorn TV is a subscription-based service, and to get started, you should subscribe to its base plan at $7.99/month from its website.
