Anyone know if the above are compatible? Its called a smart tv but it may just be the dumbest television I've had yet.

Obviously one of them says talk to your internet provider (samsung) and the other says we don't support tv's (virgin). None of the apps work, just a black screen. Removed security from the hub and turned the firewall off to no avail.

I have a SuperHub with a Panny Plasma that is a few years old, a Panny LED which is one year old, a Sony BRP and 2 Tivo boxes all connected to a SuperHub. Never had to configure anything and never had any issue with any of them conecting.

Are you hard-wired or via wi-fi?

Hard wired. Think I'm just going to take the tv back.

Probably better to try and take it round a mates and test on a different router/ISP.

Bit pointless going to the hassle of swapping TVs only to hind that the Hub is the cause....

Kind of got it sorted but its still complete bks designed by someone that doesn't know tablets, smart phones and families exist. I'm glad I bought it from costco now.

Every time I turn the tv on, it has to load up the apps (for some reason they're not saved on the tv, I tried locking them in but they were not there when I turned it on again) and it seems like everyone is doing this because its flipping slow. I laughed while waiting for the apps to load up the tv turned itself off so it has provided some entertainment.
