- How I found out I could get a 2026+ TV feature working on a (Year) older one and a few other rants.by cakehonolulu
- I went through the cabled vs wireless run around with Q-Symphony as well until I just settled on using wireless.
The main, unsolved issue was getting the Samsung remote to also work as the cable box remote. Spent 2 full days working on that, to no avail. This will be the last Samsung TV I ever buy. It's back to projectors or industry display TVs for me.
- I get that running seven different kinds of cables everywhere was a bit of a faff, but honestly I miss those days now that I have to be an electrical engineer, a computer systems analyst and a network engineer just to have my TV play sounds.
(And I still have to turn the subtitles on because I can't quite hear what the people on the TV are saying.)
- “Why would Samsung do this?” Because they are a deeply, deeply consumer hostile brand. Do not buy Samsung consumer products, no matter what the feature set and price tag look like. They are not trying to provide you with a good or service in exchange for money, they are trying to take as much of your money as they can.by roughly
