Linking my BTVision box to new Samsung Smart TV

I bought a Samsung Smart TV 6000 series yesterday and have put the areial into the tv for tuning to take advantage of the Freeview HD. I have connected the BTVision box to the tv via HDMI - how do I record programs from the TV ??

Just to expand a bit. You will have to connect an aerial directly to the BT Vision box to get any reception and view channels. You cannot record the HD channels from your TV to the BT Vision box. You will have to be an Infinity internet subscriber and sign up to the extra channels to be able to receive and record the HD channels to the BT Vision box. It does not have a HD Tuner built into it, so you cannot get the channels over your aerial, only over the internet. Hope that helps.

How do you link 2 text boxes in new pages

How do you link two text boxes in the new pages. The old one was much easier to use.

I think this is impossible! Ive been trying today and I couldnt do it. Then I opened up an old document that had text linking in it and I got a message telling me that the text boxes were now unlinked! Why would you remove that? For me this software is now useless. How on earth do I get my old version back?

Is there anyway to watch my purchased videos from my iPhone/imac to a brand new Samsung smart tv?

We just purchased a Samsung 3D HD Smart TV. My B-friend has a Samsung Galaxy 3 (poor thing) which syncs beautifully with the TV. We are also Amazon Prime customers. So another great syncing capability. I own an iphone 5 and an Imac. so we can never coordinate anything together. However, I am trying to be able to watch one movie in particular that is in my Itunes on both my phone and computer. I would love to watch it on the big HD TV. How do I do this? do I need to purchase an apple tv? or is there some setting I need to enable?
When I plug in the USB/lightning cable to the usb port in the back of the TV it will show all of my photos from the phone. but no videos! or music or anything, Just recognizes photos. I have a third party thing called a pogo but it seems to be more hassle than useful. Any suggestions?
If I purchase an apple TV would that then work in reverse? the free movies I get with my Amazon prime account could I watch on my Iphone? there is an infared dongle (seriously) that will use blue tooth but the phone picked it up one time and by the time I got the TV to pick it up, the connection to the phone was lost and i could not reconnect.

Look at this:

I have a Macbook and a new Samsung Smart TV (series 5500)

I am trying to connect the 2 so I can watch downloaded movies on the Samsung. I bought a USB to HDMI Adapter (brand Auvio) and an HDMI cable. My screen shows up on the TV but when I go to a downloaded show from iTunes or YouTube it plays on my MacBook not the TV. The TV just shows my screen saver. Any suggestions?

You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode with the MacBook as the main screen. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the TV but you can move the cursor onto the TV screen.
In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.
The TV will now have the Dock and Menu Bar and windows will open on it. But you can move the cursor to the MacBook screen and move windows from the TV over to the MacBook screen.
You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box. That will give you the same screen at the same resolution on both the MacBook and the external monitor.

No recognition connecting w530 to Samsung Smart TV

Hello Everybody,
Im having issues trying to connect my computer to my smart tv. I have a new samsung smart tv and a thinkpad w530. I also have a 15ft mini displayport to HDMI cable (NOT converter just cable) from monoprice I just got in the mail today. Set windows 8 up to duplicate the screen. Neither the computer or the monitor can recognize that they are connected to something else... very frustrating. I am trying suggestions in other threads to no avail.... I feel like im using my left hand here too because I used linux for like 3 years before I got this new computer. I don't think I really know my way aroun windows 8 enough so I might be missing some very useful settings.
EDIT: want to add specifically what I have tried. I tried changing graphics mode to discrete in BIOS. Have set up screen to duplicate, not extend or anything. Fixed resolution of separate screens back to normal (when I set to multiple monitors it shoots me down to the lowest one). I also checked (via the control panel) for new NVIDIA drivers. It said i already had the latest. Im having a hard time finding the specific driver I need for the displayport for thr w530. If you can provide this link, please do! I can't find it and it may end up helping me.
I think what I have tried to far will make sure it works once I get it to recognize the TV. But it hasn't done anything to make me recognize the tv. I want this to work very badly!
Thanks for any help,
Caitlin

Go to Solution.

Works perfectly. Tested in both clone mode (both laptop screen and TV) and TV-only (laptop disabled). Did not try extend mode double-wide desktop), as I wouldn't normally want to operate that way with a laptop, but since all other modes operated perfectly I'm confident that extend mode would also have done so.
NOTE: Win7 Pro x64, nVidia 333.11 driver, "discrete graphics" enabled in BIOS.
With the W530 and 65VT50 powered off, I connected the miniDP->HDMI cable from W530 to HDMI4 on my 65VT50. Then I powered on the TV.
Then I powered on the W530 (configured for boot screen to laptop LCD as always). Once the boot process completed, the Windows Welcome screen was present on both the laptop and the VT50. Obviously the external TV had been recognized, and nVidia control panel (333.11) had automatically gone into "clone mode", with monitor 1 (laptop) being duplicated onto monitor 2 (TV). I run with "discrete graphics" in the BIOS, and latest 333.11 nVidia driver installed.
After signing in to Windows, I noticed that "overscan" setting on the TV (for HDMI4) was wrong, and that the outer edge of the Windows desktop was not visible. A quick visit to Setup on the TV, to change this from 95% to 100% solved that one, and the entire Windows desktop was now 100% visible.
I then visited nVidia Control panel and disabled the laptop, using only the TV.
I also visited the speaker icon in System Tray -> playback devices, and selected the TV's speakers rather than the laptop speakers.
I had to enable the TV's speakers with its audio setup, as I normally use an external sound system. But this worked perfectly and I was able to get sound from the TV when playing video, system sounds, etc, exactly as expected.
Finally, just to confirm that the laptop was sending out 1080p to the TV, I double-checked in nVidia Control Panel:
I also confirmed on the TV itself (with the "info" button) and sure enough the TV was receiving 1080p from the laptop.
So... works perfectly for me, with my Panny 65VT50. Now I did have to enable HDMI4 of course (as I normally have all HDMI inputs other than HDMI1 disabled, since that's all I ever use in my home theater setup).
Not one single hiccup or issue. W530 (243852U) + K1000M.

Xfinity TV App on Samsung Smart TV

Did this ever happen?? https://customer.comcast.com/help-and-support/xfinity-apps/xfinity-tv-samsung-smart-tv/ I just purchased a new Samsung Smart Tv and the app isn't in their app store as far as I can tell. Just curious if Comcast/xfinity had a falling out with samsung or what is going on. The HBO-Go app doesn't work either because Comcast doesn't Authorize it on a samsung smart tv. Funny though, Verizon Fios and Time Warner both do...

JC,Thanks for your post. I, too, recently spent the good part of 4 days contacting Comcast when my internet and cable were mysteriously out for DAYS, without any weather disturbance or explanation. Never got an explanation. And now I find myself in the seemingly unfortunate position of having just purchased a Samsung 'Smart' TV. So, let me get this straight, Comcast releases a statement on April 08, 2014 at 11:40 PM that states: XFINITY TV on Samsung Smart TV is an XFINITY On Demand-only service, available for download from the SMART Hub on Samsung Smart TVs. The XFINITY TV on Samsung Smart TV service provides our XFINITY TV customers the ability to search and watch XFINITY On Demand programming on their Samsung Smart TV without a set-top box. But it's not true???!?!??!?? Except on a few 2012 models? Why release a statement in 2014, then? I wish it were unbelievable, but it's not; it's Comcast. We deserve better. Unfortunately, our options are so limited that none of the providers have any incentive to actually provide us with meaningful service. Worse yet, we are being misled. Just an FYI, I have heard that ATT Uverse now has wireless 'set-top' boxes.

Mac Mini with a Samsung smart TV problem

Hello Everybody. This is my first time in here !
I hope someone would be able to share ideas or views about my issue.
I have a Mac Mini I used to plug into a Panasonic TV, using a a Mini Display to HDMI cable. Since the Mini Display port does not carry audio, I used a mini jack stereo to RCA cable from the Mac's speaker socket to the TV's audio. Everything worked pretty OK.
I just bought a new Samsung smart TV and planned to do the same thing. However, I was horrified to discover that the audio won't carry. From a little bit of research I have made, it turns out that the TV disables the audio once it realizes the DVI does not carry any, and therefore no sound is heard even though the RCA's connected.
One way to go around it was to rename the HDMI source to DVI - PC, but it doesn't work 100% of the time (for some reason) and did not work in my case.
So far, the Samsung guys I've spoked to you haven't been very helpful and offered that I use the TV's optical sound IN (which the TV doesn't have), and even then they did not know if it worked 100%.
I've found out that Mini Display + Stereo to HDMI adapter exists, but it's very expensive here (over 50 pounds, almost $100) and I'd like to find alternatives - The TV's speakers are pretty good and I'd like to avoid buying speakers, if I could work it out with simple cable work.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I ma having the same issue, I have one of the original Mini Mac and was connect to my Panasonic TV and everything worked fine.
I have bought a Samsung after been told by the shop it was the best and compatable only to find I like the person above cannot get any sound.
All ideas welcome.
Thanks in advance

Issue detecting Samsung smart tv as display

Hi I have a new samsung smart TV (UA32H550ASXRD0), which I hoped to use as a display for my macbook pro (mid-2010, yosemite) and my mini once I have it setup.
However, the TV won't detect my mac and visa versa .
I have just tried connecting the macbook to another sony tv and it works fine, so its not the cable or video adapter.
I know there was a discussion I saw on resetting the SMC, but if it works on the Sony surely this isn't the issue either.
Any ideas please?
Many thanks
*M

Good news, I managed to resolve this with a new cable/adapter. I previously had a moshi mini displayport to hdmi adapter and a certified HDMI cable which I replaced with a single cable comprising both (like this: http://www.jaycar.com.au/p/WQ7442). As I mentioned, the moshi had worked fine for both my macbook pro and mini on Sony tv and monitor, just not the samsung smart tv.
For reference, this was the note from the samsung support team -
1. Use an HDMI cable with a thickness of 14 mm or less. Using a non-certified HDMI cable may result in a blank screen or a connection error.
Some HDMI cables and devices may not be compatible with the TV due to different HDMI specifications.
2. This TV does not support HDMI Ethernet Channel. Ethernet is a LAN (Local Area Network) built on coaxial cables standardised by the IEEE.
3. Some computers do not support HDMI interface, depending on its graphics adapter specifications. In this case, use a DVI-to-HDMI cable to connect the computer to the TV.
4. Try to adjust the resolution of your Mac to 1920 x 1080, which is the maximum resolution of this TV model.
5. Select the connected Mac using the Source button on your TV remote.
Good luck

Samsung smart TV won't connect to the Internet

Hi
We have just brought a new Samsung smart tv (UE40ES6710) however we can't get it to connect wirelessly to the Internet. We are using the BT home hub can anyway shed any light on this??
We have contacted BT who have told us that there is nothing wrong with our broadband connection and we don't have any problem connecting our iPad and iPhones. It's just the TV that won't connect.
Thanks

Need to try shutting off TV and starting again.
And you may be low on memory on your Samsung. Samsung doesn't make it easy to manage the memory other than by deleting some unused apps.

EA4500 vs. Samsung Smart TV

My new Samsung Smart TV will not remain connected to my network. Anytime I turn on the TV or switch between apps I must input the password and reconnect to the network. Once I am connected, I am able to stream an entire movie on Netflix without any trouble but when I switch movies or to live TV or open the browser I have to reconnect. The problem does not exist with a wired connection directly to my cable modem. All of my other wireless devices work fine. The router is within 5 feet of the TV, the TV software is up to date, I have power cycled the modem and router and tried different DNS settings. Any thoughts?

If other wireless devices are working fine thru the router as well as the tv is working fine when wired, it must have something to do with the wireless adapter that’s built in on the tv. You’ve mentioned that the TV is 5 feet away from the router. How about try to move either the tv or the router farther like 15-20 feet and see if it will still experience the same issue. If a wireless device is placed too near the router, it might create an interference with the connection thus the reason why the tv won’t retain the connection. If moving the tv or the router won’t work, the tv’s wireless card may need an update. You can contact the tv manufacturer then for further assistance.

First, make sure your TV is tuned to display the correct input signal. Most TVs have several inputs (multiple HDMIs, cable connections, RCA etc) so double-check that you're using the correct one - HDMI1, HDMI2 or whatever is written next to the port.
I assume that you have a mini-Displayport to HDMI adaptor? If you open displays preferences, first tick the box that says "show display preferences in menu bar" then locate the menu and click Detect Displays. See if that helps.

I'm not sure what you mean by "the + box". Is that a feature on one of your toolbars?

I updated Firefox and now, when I select File, Send Link, a dialog box pops up asking me to establish a new account before I can send the link via email.

I have a feeling it may have something to do with HotMail.com.

My Error: I found out that it was Mozilla Thunderbird that was causing the problem. I uninstalled it and the problem went away.
