OK. You can shut up now. I owe you a beer.

I have some 14-year-old British friends and I can assure you they are much more mature and intelligent than that.

@those who survived the plague said:But fuck it - do you really believe that you live in a real country?! If you have samsung support and McDonalds and stuff and I don't - well, do you think that you're in a better place? Honestly?Yes. I live in a country that was founded by people who were sick of your country's bullshit and left to make a better place and succeeded and there was only a little bit of genocide involved.

It's a TV. Who gives a shit? Might as well modify your oven for chilling drinks.
Bullshit. My TV (a Vizio) has stuff like Netflix and Pandora and Hulu apps built in. I have one of the lower end versions, so I can't install new stuff, but I've seen various weather apps and whatnot. TV apps definitely have a purpose.
The built-in apps definitely have their purposes. I have a big Samsung TV and Blu-Ray player and looked into the Samsung apps. They're garbage. I have Netflix and Hulu and all that built-in stuff. I use some of them and ignore others.
I would advise OP to forget about the Samsung apps.

Samsung Apps application doesn't work.Expected behaviour. Does anyone actually expect an "app" to work, these days, outside of the Apple or Android stores (and even then, only about 10% of the time)? They're tacked-on non-features that have never been QA'd or even tested, thrown onto a device that doesn't need it to make it "smrt".
Maybe I wasn't clear: The Samsung Apps App doesn't work. So I'm not able to install new apps on my TV (for better or worse)
@Lorne Kates said:You're right. But, rooting my TV, and thus taking more control over it, would mean voiding my warranty and this is is not something I'm prepared to risk at the moment. So samsung.com is the only resource I can use.@those who survived the plague said:
I go to samsung.com and try to get some support.Only a goddamn fucking idiot would go to a Samsung site expecting it to work. Seriously, who would do that?
Funny story: I had issues with my samsung phone also (ACE 2). They replaced the whole main board (under warranty) and now it is ok.
Actually, the TV has option to update the firmware through the menu, but it says that there is no update available.
I recently bought Samsung F Series TV and unfortunately their Samsung Apps application doesn't work.
Naturally, I go to samsung.com and try to get some support. You think it would be easy to ask for help? Think again.
If you go to samsung.com you'll see that you'll have to choose your country specific page. Well, if you're lucky enough to live in one of the 36 European countries supported by Samsung. I live in Macedonia and I do not have local support page, so I choose UK - because it is, well, in English. (Yeah, I know I'm in a small country, but samsung, sells their products here too, so some kind of support would only be fair)
Back and forth with their support (restart TV, reset Smart Hub etc. ) we determined that I need to update firmware. Which one should I get? Their support sends me link to a UK firmware. It turns out that this firmware is not suitable for my TV. I asked for a link for suitable firmware for my TV. Their support proclaims itself incompetent for my problem and advises me to go to my local page! (???) So I'm out in the open, again. Basically, it seems that there's no authority (Or I cannot reach one) who can point to me which firmware is my TV using and where can I find it.
Bonus WTF:
You send support email through their web page. After you get a reply, you get an email on which you cannot reply. So, if you want to follow up, you'll have to go to the support page again, fill in all sort of data about the TV (again), fill in personal data (again), then explain what the problem is and what have you tried so far( sigh)
Really nice Samsung, really nice!
