Hey Speck9,
I've tested the issues some more and I've identified some of the causes of the problems listed. For the speakers, I've realized that if it's in wireless mode, it remembers the speaker settings just fine. Essentially, you turn the speaker settings off in Wireless Mode, then turn the TV off, then connect the media box physically, and turn the TV back on. Voila, speaker settings are off when TV is turned on. However, if you connect a device through HDMI (on the media box) that sends an audio signal, this turns on the TV speakers by default and you're back to square one. As long as the media box is connected to the TV, for some reason it will not be able to "save the changes", so to speak.
FUrthermore, I've also tested that the pixelation occurs regardless of the device connected to the media box (when the media box itself is physically connected to the TV). Unfortunately, I've only tested this it with a PS3 + a laptop in HDMI running the same video clip when the media box was physically connected. I'm pretty confident it's the same issue as the speakers that the physically connected media box is somehow messing with the trumotion settings.
I called up LG, and they said they've never heard of the problem. They said they wouldn't mind setting someone to look at it, but if their technicians deemed that nothing was wrong, he warned that I would have to pay them for labor. He almost sounded like he was subtly threatening me with a charge.

Anyhow, I've also found any easier way to ensure that trumotion is "properly" turned off whenever you turn on the TV . Simply go to the menu settings, swap the profiles from Expert to Cinema, and hit enter. Then swap it back to Expert. This turns off Trumotion. I've also realized that switching the refresh rate, from 60p to 24p also forces Trumotion to turn off properly. So essentially, what I'm understanding is, something is happening at bootup that's causing the TV to override the Trumotion settings and leaving it on despite the menu showing otherwise. My guess at this point is the same, it's something to do with the media box being physically connected (probably puts the TV into some special mode or something).
P.S. Speck9, my firmware is exactly the same as yours both for the box and the TV set. Also, you know trumotion is on when movies or shows on the TV appear "too real" all of a sudden.

That's exactly how i've had my TV setup for the last month and i've noticed zero problems. I use the optical out to my stereo with TV speakers set to off.
It's never re-enabled that setting so far. I just doublechecked now and it's still turned off.
I'm wirelessly connected between the media box and TV. Just thought i'd point that out as a difference between our two setups.
Haven't really paid attention to the trumotion and pixelation as i'm still not sure how i want the picture settings yet. Plus i need to borrow some more blu-rays to test this set out a little more fully.
Out of curiosity... Does your build date and firmware info match up with mine? If not, can you post it?
