I have had my Samsung 65in smart TV since new and the main reason being the ability to upgrade the hardware capability using the evolution kit. Is there any chance you can work on a task to release a new evolution kit for our stranded TVs? My TV is still functional, the evolution box itself is OK for now but I am worried it will soon be too far behind the latest technology. Are you happy to parts exchange my TV so I can get the latest model? I paid too much to sell it cheap, I need Samsung to recommend a sensible route to upgrade.

I bought UE46F8000 before 3 years and one of reasons was that upgrade option... No any update since 2013, no firmware update since one year, the TV have problems with last (1135) update and netflix can't show Greek subtitles because of no new firmware... Ok I undestand that Greece is a small country, but if you don;t care about small countries don't sell your products on thoose countries.... I have my 90% of electronics things bought from Samsung, but I think this was the last product from you!

Unit worked straight out of the box until it wanted to check the internet for updates. This was when I found out the TV's built in WiFi I use to connect with had stopped working. I could not get it to detect ANY SSIDs at all. Upon review it looks like it needs a firmware update to work (TV version 1003. Current version should be 1004.4). Have since downloaded the current version on a USB stick using a PC and will be trying the upgraded firmware later. Other issues... Voice control... As I have currently have not got an internet connection the TV will not permit the use of voice control. Motion control... As I turn off the TV's speaker because I use an external amp for sound. Motion control gets itself in a pickle notifing me that the audio is off and as soon as I "Ok" the warning it pings straight back up in a never-ending loop preventing any further progress. Smart Hub... Currently un-tested as... I've got no internet connection and therefore cannot use it! Screen brightness... TV's brightness seems to randomly fluctuate depending on if a remote control button or an attempt at voice/motion control has taken place. Though it seems to be the TV trying to acknowledge that you have given it a command it can be really infuriating even after a short period of time. This is especially true when trying to set the picture's contrast or brightness controls. It may possibly be preventable if there's a setting available. I'm still finding my way round the new menu system so am uncertain. Various Menu options... After installing the Evo kit, some but not all options revert back to their 'default' settings this includes some of the picture setiings, the audio settings and even the Anynet+ turning itself back on. Some like the back-light level do remain from its pre-evo kit level. So you have to review all settings just to confirm they are still correct. Hopefully a lot of these niggles will fix themselves after the installation of the previously mentioned update.
