Samsung smart tv is connect to internet but cannot display a

[biker99]

Well, I've hooked up the TV to the wire and the internet worked right away. In the process I've downloaded and installed the latest firmware 1047, after that I've been able to run the ffwd-289-rwd thing and select the country. Disconnected the wire and connected wirelessly again and it worked no problem. So I'm not sure if the firmware got screwed, or what the problem was. I thought the reset was supposed to wipe the firmware, however after reset I got the same firmware as before.

Finally, I made it work just last night after weeks of painful troubleshootings.
In Smart Hub, I had to select the Internet Service Location where smart hub will connect to.
In the tv remote, I had to press FFWD+289+REW buttons one after the other for the menu (internet service location) to appear.
I then selected Australia for my connection since my country is not on the list.
After doing this, smart hub started to update itself and download several apps.

Thank you. You just saved me the trouble of taking tv back thinking it was a defect. I was frustrated to say the least. I tried calling support for samsung but missed the hours open. Patience eludes me at times but, the search that led me here paid off thank you!
