Samsung Smart TV Owners complain About Bricked TV after Update
It looks like Smamsung has some damage control to do. Some of Samsungs high-end smart TVs are no longer working properly after a faulty firmware update. The devices are stuck on a channel or don’t anything at all.
Affected smart TVs are the UE50MU6100K, UE49MU7070 and MU6409, reports myce:
The forums of Samsung are flooded with users who complain about the issue and want the company to fix the issue. Samsung has stated to be working on a solution.
The issues started last week when the the TV manufacturer rolled out a new firmware update. Quickly after the release, the first reports of the issues appeared online. Unfortunately for the owners of the TV there still isn’t a solution for their issue. Moderators of the Samsung UK Forum told users Samsung is close to a solution but that users will have to visit a Samsung Service Center to get a new firmware installed. It’s currently unclear when the new firmware will be ready.
If you have a UE50MU6100K, UE49MU7070 or MU6409, you might want to turn off the WIFI/Internet connection for a few days.

Yes by default they are automatic. You can change that though.

Good thing mine is LG. By the way Hilbert you misspelled Samsung a few times, perhaps you typed it on a not so smart phone?
