@Foster1984 Very cunning plan haha!
@Jon Mills I believe the 55" version of the NU8000 has a number of improvements over the 49", so definitely worth getting. That's my intention if Samsung can't resolve the apps issue on my 7500 soon.
I've attached a photo of the current status of my apps storage. Looking at the percentage remaining, it may be that the OS 'thinks' that the total storage is 1GB, or perhaps the hardware is missing a chip and it really is only 1GB? In any case it must be an error as the built-in apps alone take up around 750MB. The current low free space will not allow for any app updating.
I'll be interested in what Jon's engineer says if he pays a visit.
