I see there is a software update for the newer Samsung LCD sets this weekend.

http://www.dtg.org.uk/retailer/download_schedule.pl

The only problem is mine is stuck on the T_BORDDUK0 1010 software and never seems to offer up the new software (T_BORDDUK0 1015).

Anyone else having this problem?

Yeah, mine too is stuck at that software version. How do you update?

[xmb]

It should download it automatically and then offer you it as a choice in the software selection menu.

Maybe they did not transmit the download?

Anyone manage to get it?

[tpr007]

My TV is only connected to DVD and the Xbox at the moment, so how do I update the software?
it's an older model, the LE32R41

Does this update firmware for all samsung lcd's namely the f71?
Anyone tried it out yet?

[chiswick]

For some reason my Samsung R7 also did not update to the new 1015 version.

Same with me, I have been waiting for this update for a while

I noticed on the DTG website the update was originally posted for Sat/Sun and then finish but is now on there until the 14th so maybe they know something is wrong

I got this message at the weekend there, was quite surprised - i didnt realise you could download updates!

It downloaded ok but I havent noticed any difference, what does it change?

I presume now that I've D/L it, it installed automatically?

I am getting my Samsung TV in a week or so, how do these updates work? Are they just embeded in the TV signal? Will I get the update if my TV isn't connected via the internal tuner? for example through my Sky box via SCART? If it has to be via the internal tuner what about if it's not digital?

The update (if its working as it should) downloads via the built in freeview tuner whilst tuned into some specific channels - for this update its multiplex 1 so thats BBC1,2,3/CBBC and NEWS24. As far as I know the update only affects the digital freeview tuner and its software so if you never use it I wouldnt worry too much about missing it

For those that got the update, were you on T_BORDDUK0_1010 before 1015? Or do you have a T_MOSLDUK0_xxxx version?

[DTWD]

Ah right I see, cheers.

The TV I am getting doesn't have a freeview tuner (f7). Some people have been discussing firmware upgrades to the set, so if it was going to happen I prosumed it would happen the same way.

im not sure what it was before but how do i check this now?

Press D.MENU arrow down to System then arrow across to Product Information. Listed is your sets current Software and Firmware version. (Only the Software can be updated over the air.)

My LE32R74BD is still stuck on T_BORDDUKO_1010. It never seems to offer the new version in the Software Upgrade page. (Under the System Menu.)

[xmb]

The download never appeared for me

Samsung say it was not transmitted in certian areas due to 'local technical issues'. (Mind you I get my signal from Emly Moor so that's a big area!)

They said it might appear between now and Monday morning

But if not the only way of getting the download is for a engineer to come out and take the set away

Good job the download only fixes slow (freeview) channel changes!

[Burned]

Mine just picked up the download now, all seems ok.

Channels do actually change alot quicker than before as well, pretty happy with that.

[lettuce]

Mine just updated too. Funny thing is the date for this update (1015) is the 31st Oct 2006. What does this update do anyway?

[xmb]

As mentioned before the update cures the problem where there is a long delay when changing channels.

I like many have failed to get the OTA download due to be technical problems in some areas.

The DTG web site is now showing the update as being transmitted again from Monday (18/12/06). Looks like they have realised there was a problem as this download was not on their site this morning!

Mine finally updated to the latest one (on Thu) and the channel changing speed has much improved

Mine still hasn't updated. I dunno what is going on with it.

Now mine has the downloading update under listed software but the progress bar has been at zero for 1/2 an hour.

How long is it supposed to take?

software downloaded automatically and asked me if I wanted to install

Changing channels is much improved (speed wise) and has made the wife much happier

Roll on HD Freeview!!!

No as you have no Freeview on that model.

[CheekyBoyDanny]

Hi everyone,

Upgraded from 1010 to 1015 on the LE26R73BD but to be totally honest I can't tell the difference. Some are saying channel changing is quicker !!
is that by channel up-down or selecting 0-9 channels by buttons.

Selecting channels by 0-9 buttons seems to be no quicker at all.

Maybe i'm looking for a major difference between versions

What do ya thinks folks

[Burned]

Selecting channels from the EPG and using the +/- will be quicker, there will always be a delay selecting channel via number because the tv waits to see if you're putting in more than one number, e.g. 11 instead of 1

[CheekyBoyDanny]

Ya,

I do see what you mean about the EPG menu

Completely agree with Burned. If you want to use the keypad numbers to change channels then you have to either wait a short moment or press the "OK" button to change channel. Using the "OK" button changed the channel immediately. Otherwise there is a delay as it expects you to press another button.

I upgraded and lost the main channels i watch.

TMF and The Hits disappeared. As did Film4.

Just downgraded again to get back the channels. ***?

[Burned]

All my channels dissapeared, i just re-scanned and stored the channels, all is fine.

Did you try re-scanning?
