But I've yet to find the Ambassador tell anyone to go to the service menu. It's been where folk brick their TVs. I advise you stay away from that.

I think all I need to know is how to change the region. I've already been playing around with it. But in order to enable PVR I need to change the region. It is greyed out on the Service Menu.

Hello Anaylor,

We would ask that you do not go within the service menu of the television. This actually voids the warranty on the television.

FRUSTRATED

Now I am being told that I can't MIRROR my brand new DELL WIndows 8.1 laptop to my Brand new Samsung TV. Samsung is saying that it only mirrors Samsung devices. BS. That is not what it says in the documentation or on the box. NO WHERE DOES IT SAY "WILL ONLY MIRROR FROM SAMSUNG DEVICES!!"

Beyond tech reasons for this issue.

The studios, laws and industry are part of the reasons here for this. The link must be secure since it could be used to clone/copy a copy protected work. This can upset those that want it to just work.

So there it is, but as to putting limitations on every product may be a good idea I wonder if all makers, if they did it would have no room to indicate what product is inside the box?
