Mike-Boy,
I don't have control of what features are added to firmwares. I can send this to our development team, however, I won't know the status on these kinds of requests.
I think your feedback is valuable, but at this time, I just don't have a solution. You might also try contacting the Samsung HQ in your region to express this to them.
I wish I could help further, but I don't have a solution.

Hi,
I had a brand new LE-40A866S1. The design was very nice and quality of the picture was brilliant.
But, then I met something which made me very disappointed, even fooled:
1. There is no direct entry to Favourite list, as exists up to 7-series.
The button as used to has got new function. Also editing feature of Favourite list is removed. These features have the first order of importance on having several hundreds of channels. Handling of Favourite list only by +/- button is not acceptable solution. This means a need to keep a list of favourite cannel numbers on the table and use number buttons on channel changing.
The Favourite list itself is very nice and very useful with program info, but the entry to this list is behind several menu selections and therefore useless.
2. EPG does not follow the Favourite list.
All channels appear in order of cable operator which makes this feature useless. Check of info of top favourites is in practise impossible by +/- button, if those channels have a high order number by cable operator.
Also program info feature on channel changing is missing.
The first item is the most important. The way how it works now, is unbearable. I bought this product also to get out digibox, but I went wrong. I can?t recommend this product to anyone until the problems are fixed. Just imagine my feelings I thought I was buying a high end product ? and what I?ve got!
A proposal (Please!): As a ?first aid? on item 1, please do immediately a software update where the button on remote control, mostly called as ?OK?, opens the Favourite list. Now this button has no function in normally TV mode. This shouldn?t be a large change and it would do a lot of help!
