Hi folks. I have a Samsung 43NU7400 43-Inch TV which I `m very happy with overall, but it has started to develop one irritating quirk that I can`t overcome. Every time it is powered up (from a standby state) it goes through the checking for software update routine, even though auto update is turned off in the menu settings. It`s getting really annoying now. Can anyone advise how to stop it checking for updates like this, because it takes approx` 20-30 seconds, and the TV doesn`t respond to any commands until the update check is completed.
 
Have you a external hard drive or a USB stick connected to the tv?
 
I don't know what causes it, the same thing happened with my tv. It's stopped now though...
 
I should imagine it's because on some models, software updates can only be performed via a usb stick, so if one is detected the TV assumes you are trying to update it. Just a guess.
