The unofficial Kick TV app for LG webOS now fits home and replay browsing to the screen:
- Compact channel entry above three saved-channel panels. Their page size follows the available height and text size, with a visible footer and no vertical scrolling.
- Replay cards use the available thumbnail space and adapt their page size. Titles, dates and paging controls stay fully visible.
- Directional navigation follows the painted rows and columns. Resizing preserves the selected item or restores focus when a pager disappears.
- Long unavailable-status labels retain room for favorite channel names.
Verified on LG 55NANO863NA / webOS 5.6.2 / Chromium 68, with 720p/1080p viewport and text/contrast combinations, real replay 1080p/60, decoder cleanup and bounded resize stress. All 1,144 browser screens across 13 locales passed. Physical handset, spoken Voice Guide, audible output and extended-soak limits remain in the device audit.
New native TV captures are attached below and to the documentation. SHA256SUMS covers the IPK and every attached PNG. Saved-channel lists are demonstration choices; replay catalog and playback use public content. Install with webOS Dev Manager or the existing Homebrew setup; unchanged app/service IDs preserve local data. Keep v0.8.1 for rollback.

Getting started
From the project's README ("Install on a TV"):
Install the IPK with webOS Dev Manager:
- On an already rooted webOSbrew TV, use its SSH/Homebrew connection. The tested installation runs without the timed LG Developer Mode application.
- On a TV using LG Developer Mode, the normal session and installation expiry rules apply.
Version 0.7.2 uses application ID com.jakubjirak and service ID com.jakubjirak.service. This is a new application identity compared with 0.7.1 and earlier (cz.jirak.kicktv): it installs alongside the old application and starts with its own recent channels and replay history. Existing data remains with the old application; there is no automatic migration. Subsequent updates using the new ID preserve the new application's data. This IPK is an application package, not an LG firmware update, and does not root or modify TV firmware. The app has not been published in the LG Content Store; store distribution requires LG approval.
