Hello all,
Longtime Samsung user here. Got a really good deal on the 55UB9500 so decided to give it a try. First, beautiful set, great picture but OS SUCKS! Either I am doing something wrong, or LG got it wrong. I have the set directly connected via ethernet. VERY fast internet (300 plus GB/S) I have constant issues with Pandora and Netflix. First it was pandora, it would start and play, then I would get some sort of error. Then it would play, and have these huge delays between songs. Very disappointing. Then Netflix. At first it seemed to work okay. I thought it took a LONG time for it to load a movie. It would hurry up to the 25% mark and then sit there for about a minute. Now, half the time I get errors that they cannot play this selection at this time. Then I get the movie to play and it will play for about five minutes and do the same thing.
I went to the web and searched and found that people have deleted Netflix and started over. I can't even get that to work. When I follow the directions, going to settings/Network/Web OS apps (or what ever it's called) I get a screen about unlinking my devices or something like that and cannot get to the actual apps. I then did the up up up left right left thing to get to the log off menu and did that. logged back in but same thing.. I tried last night for over half an hour to get Netflix to work until I finally ran out of patience. I never had issues like this with any of my Samsung Tv's and not beginning to think I made a mistake but hope not. I love the TV otherwise. I am hoping that perhaps the OS 2.0 might fix it? That is of course if that ever happens.
If anyone else has had issues like this and has figured out a way to fix it, please share that with me. I keep going over to Amazon.com, and looking at the Roku 4 but I really don't want to have to buy that, after just buying this new TV that's supposed to do all this for me. Plus I have read that people are having trouble with the Roku 4 and some LG tv's...Sigh..
Thanks, and sorry for the rant.
Cheers,
John
