How to install widgets on a Samsung Smart TV
Using Samsung APPS
This is the most convenient way to install Samsung Smart TV applications. Installation algorithm:
- go to settings in the main menu;
- select Samsung Apps;
- select the application to install (you can use the search bar);
- Click “Download” and wait for the download to complete;
- go to the main menu;
- select the downloaded widget.
Using Smart Hub
It is convenient to download applications using this service. After setting up Smart Hub (creating an account, entering your login and password), when you press the Smart button on the remote control, a page with installed widgets immediately opens. To find the desired application, open Samsung Apps for Smart TV, find the program and follow the above algorithm.
Manual search for digital TV channels
If you live outside the city limits, then first make sure that your locality is within the broadcast zone. To do this, go to the RTRS website (map.rtrs.rf) and find your region there. The numbers indicate the location of the repeaters. If you are too far from them, we recommend using other broadcasting standards (satellite, analogue or iptv). No. 4-4If there are no problems with this, proceed to setting up the LG TV:
- In the TV menu, go to the “Settings” item, select the “Manual search” tab.
- A dialog box will appear where in the “signal type” section we select the cable.
Important: if the specified section does not appear, it means that you entered the country incorrectly at the previous stage.
- We indicate the following data: frequency H - 247000, frequency K - 770000, modulation - 256, LD - auto. These parameters are relevant only for Russia; for other countries they will be different.
- Check the box next to “skip encrypted channels”. If this is not done, they will be automatically added, but when you open them, a message will be displayed each time that the signal is encrypted, which is quite inconvenient (if you scroll through programs).
- Click "quick scan".
On average, the search process takes 15-20 minutes (depending on the TV model and current location). When finished, do not forget to click “save”, otherwise you will have to start the search again. This method is good because it allows you to find channels, even with a weak signal. Therefore, residents of remote settlements use manual tuning.
Satellite television
Despite the development of the digital signal and IPTV, many still prefer to watch satellite channels. Next, we’ll tell you how to properly set up satellite broadcasting on an LG TV (a dish is required).
Search for free channels
To find free broadcasts via satellite signal, we perform the following procedure:
- We buy a set-top box that connects to the TV via an HDMI connector (if you don’t have one).
Please note: some TV models have a built-in receiver for a satellite signal; they do not require a dish - the cable is connected directly to the connector on the case.
- Having installed the antenna plug into the TV or set-top box, go to the “Channels” section.
- A new window will appear, in the “source” tab, select “satellite”, click “OK”. If several dishes are connected to the TV, in the “satellite setup” section you must select the one that was connected in the previous paragraph.
- Having finished with the settings, click on the “automatic search” tab. Upon completion of the operation, the system will display a corresponding message.
As in the case of an analog or digital signal, the operating system will automatically assign serial numbers to the found TV channels, which can be changed if desired.
Search for paid channels
To view paid satellite programs, you need to purchase a special module from your television provider. To activate paid TV channels, do the following:
- We register the purchased device on the service provider’s website. Usually you need to log into your personal account using your personal data and enter the equipment identification number.
- We insert the module into the TV connector (which one depends on the specific model).
- We activate the automatic search function, similar to the previous point.
- Upon completion, paid (i.e., paid from the provider) channels will be decoded and become available for viewing.
When purchasing a new module, you will need to re-initiate the search process, which will reset the numbering. Therefore, it makes no sense to change the list; leave the sequence numbers generated by the system.
Installing third party applications
A convenient installation method is using the Sammys PC program. The type of application (service client, game, etc.) is not important for this method; a flash drive is not required. Sequence of actions for installing third-party applications on Samsung Smart TV:
- Create an account in Smart Hub Samsung. In the line "email address" mail" enter "Develop".
- Log in using your created account on Samsung Smart TV.
- Download the Sammys program for the desired TV model on your PC (for models C, D - here, for models E, F, H - here). Important: the computer and TV must be on the same wired or Wi-Fi network.
- Unpack the program archive to the desktop or to the root of drive C in the created folder (for the program to work, its address should not contain letters of the Russian alphabet).
- To prevent blocking, add Sammys to the exceptions of the Windows firewall and antivirus program.
- Upload a widget to your PC that will be installed on your smart TV.
- Copy it to the s folder of the program.
- Click the Refresh button on the program interface.
- Check the box next to the selected widget.
- Remember the server IP address (displayed at the bottom of the Sammys interface). Important: for further actions, the application must be open on the computer.
- Press the SmartHub button on the TV remote control.
- Enter the “Development” section of the “Settings” tab.
- In the server IP address box, enter the values from Sammys.
Enable the “Synchronization of user applications” mode. - The system will inform you that the installation is complete.
- Log in to the main page and check if the widget is installed.
- Select and open it.
How to set a timer to turn off a Samsung TV
A properly set timer will help you plan to watch a movie or program, wake up to music or the voice of a morning news anchor, or fall asleep to your favorite TV series. Most modern TVs are equipped with this function. To set timestamps, you must ensure that the time on your device is set correctly. For this:
- press the “Menu” button on the remote control;
- go to the “Settings” section;
- select the “Time” line.
Check to see if the clock on the screen is set correctly and adjust it if necessary. If the TV is connected to the network, the clock should automatically adjust. Incorrect settings can lead to unexpected consequences, including sudden switching on or off, and then you won’t be able to get enough sleep listening to your favorite programs.
Best apps for Samsung Smart TV
Official widgets hosted in Samsung Apps
Peers TV
The application runs on earlier versions of operating systems. Downloaded from Samsung Apps. The cache size is user-selectable, so the program works satisfactorily at low connection speeds. The controls are simple and intuitive. Another positive thing is the program schedule, no lags, you can add playlists. Unfortunately, there are a lot of ads that are disabled in the paid version.
Like TV
An application that combines Internet television and online cinema. Convenient navigation - TV channels are divided into categories: “Favorites” tab, TV program, constantly updated video library. The downside is that you must be a subscriber of Siberian Networks. Users report problems with sound and frequent application crashes.
Ateka
An online service that broadcasts the world's best TV series in Russian and in the original language with subtitles in high quality. The archive is constantly updated, new items appear simultaneously with world premieres. When you sign up for a paid subscription, you can watch content on up to five devices under one account with simultaneous access to two video streams. The interface is friendly and intuitive. As a bonus - free access for 1 week.
A service with a large archive of media content, which is conveniently divided into thematic collections. The quality is good, many products are in 4K with 5.1 surround sound. About 50 Internet TV channels are broadcast, some for free. The main disadvantage is that a paid subscription does not provide access to the entire archive; an additional fee is charged for viewing the highest-grossing films in HD and UND quality. Users mark the debiting of money without subscribing. The free version has a lot of advertising.
Megogo
One of the largest online cinemas. Concise interface with convenient access to categories. Movies are divided into categories (title, year of release, popularity, etc.). There are many selections: films of the year, funny comedies, spectacular action films, etc. The paid subscription includes additional options, for example, the function of pre-ordering new films, their rental, etc. Cons: poor support service. There are cases of charging subscription fees without the user's knowledge.
Unofficial, downloaded from third-party resources.
XSmart
An aggregator application with free access (the authors claim that it is legal) to television and film media libraries. The free version has up to 720p quality. Registration and a paid subscription are required to access HD and 4K content. Users note easy navigation, detailed descriptions of films, and distribution of content into categories. Recently, the widget has started to work worse - there are quality problems.
ForkPlayer
The popular application is supported by most TV models. Provides free access to a huge archive of media content. Supports IPTV streaming. Of the minuses, the interface resembles the menu of push-button phones from the early 2000s, which makes setting up the application quite difficult. An abundance of tabs and an inconvenient virtual keyboard do not add advantages to the application.
GetsTV
A universal program for watching TV, movies and series on Samsung Smart TV. The content archive is large, updated regularly, there are a lot of products in the 18+ category. The free version supports resolutions up to 1080x720. For HD and 4K quality content you need to sign up for a paid subscription. 20 free TV channels are available; after paying for access, about 200 open, including in HD quality. A lot of advertising.
HDrezka
Free client of the famous HD cutting site for watching movies. The interface is minimalistic. Content is grouped by categories: movies, TV series, anime, etc. To view, you must create an account on the site. The performance of the client depends on whether the content on the site is blocked or not. Lately there have been problems with access. To bypass blocking, the latest versions of the application have many new mirrors and it is possible to enter your own.
