Yes, it's very sad they decided to do that. But what is more sad for me, is that I think they could allow this DTS passthrough via SPDIF/Toslink without that licence. I mean, I understand you need DTS licence to decode it and play it on the TV speakers. I could even understand if HDMI eARC needs license to passthrough it because it is bidirectional.

But not letting the audio bitstream to be send directly, without even touching it, to a Home Cinema via SPDIF output... I do think is an option they could allow with a simple firmware update, but the problem is they don't want to do it. They just don't care about customers (at least the few that claim for that option).

I already have the TV installed and the panel is great, I found a reasonable price in Blackfriday and if I can solve it with Kodi in the N2+, I will keep this TV. But I will undoubtedly have this "support from LG" in mind when I again look for a TV.
