Question

Set smart hub as default screen?

Nov 29, 2014 4:06AM PST

Hey, I have a Samsung series 5 5201 32 inch smart tv and I was wondering if it is possible to set it so that when you first turn on the tv, the smart hub appears. Thanks

Set smart hub as default screen

I just chatted with someone on Samsung.com who has the correct answers -- and it's not what we want --

Glen: Hi, thank you for reaching out to Samsung technical support. How may I assist you?
Visitor: how can I disable the cable/antenna screen? I want the set to start in the hub mode.
Glen: I understand that you wish to set the smart hub as a default screen.
Glen: I'm afraid, it is not possible.
Visitor: yes
Glen: The default screen and source on TV is Antenna/cable.

I apologize with this particular unit you'd be unable to perform this action. In our 2013 television it does have this functionality available but not 2014 and above.
