D8000 - Galaxy S Tab keyboard... help!!
Discussion
I love it. The looks were the first thing that attracted me it, but now that it's up on the wall, I have to say the picture quality is amazing. Not one person who has seen it has failed to comment on just how good the picture is.
Sound quality isn't anything special, so I've hooked mine up to a B&W Zeppelin Air. Sound is now a lot "deeper".

Ok, this might be a stupid question, but I just can't seem to work it out!
I've connected my Galaxy s tab to my Samsung D8000, and it's working fine, except for when I go on to YouTube - should a keyboard come up on the tab so that I can type my searches out??
If so, how?!!!!
It should come up automatically as soon as you hit the address bar...Try it first through the web browser function.I've connected my Galaxy s tab to my Samsung D8000, and it's working fine, except for when I go on to YouTube - should a keyboard come up on the tab so that I can type my searches out??

We've just found in store, a problem with the 8000 series and all the other SMART tellies, in so far as they only have Flash10.1 installed, so it's not possible to watch sites like ITV Player as they need 10.2.
I've tried to get an answer from Samsung, and apparently they're doing an over air download early next year.
Not sure how many other sites require 10.2

BBC iplayer works fine. Be interested to know what sites won't work.We've just found in store, a problem with the 8000 series and all the other SMART tellies, in so far as they only have Flash10.1 installed, so it's not possible to watch sites like ITV Player as they need 10.2.

Just can not get the keyboard to appear on the tab! I go to YouTube, select search, but then the only keyboard that pops up is on the tv screen itself, and I'm having to select each letter one by one. Very annoying.
What am I doing wrong?!

Go to ITV player via the web browser and you'll see what I mean. Do you get the keyboard function when entering the address bar on the web browser or is it just on youtube?Just can not get the keyboard to appear on the tab!

Exact same dilemma I had. All I can is I'm sooo glad I opted for the D8000! Awesome bit of kit.
Have you wall mounted it? If you have, did you use the Samsung disc mount thing?I didn't use the disc mount - had the tv professionally installed and the guys used a wall bracket. Very solid + pretty flush with the wall, which was very important to me.
The keyboard is now appearing on my tabs screen, but only when I access sites like YouTube via the web browser.
Not ideal, but still good enough for me. (Anything beats typing in searches letter by letter!)
Thanks for the pointer E31

Be interested in this as I'm just about to buy an 8000 and the dic wall mount cable.
I have one of these:http://www.amazon.co.uk/HD-Bracket-Samsung-Philips...
I've no idea what's going on with the price on Amazon, but I bought this mount for about £20 a few months back. It's great, you get two big bolts, two discs, a steel cable and some bits to connect to the back of the TV. It took about 30 minutes to get the TV wall mounted.
I have an ethernet cable, HDMI, aerial and a power lead all built in to the wall and poke out in the right places. The TV is as flush as you can get it to the wall. The cheap £20 jobbies look the same as the Samsung disc mount, so have no idea why they think they can charge about £80 or something for it!
