looking to get into the GX-SM530CF Smart Media Player
Re: looking to get into the GX-SM530CF Smart Media Player
I know this is almost a year old but I just purchased one of these to replace a cable box.
You mentioned 1035 firmware. It looks like since you posted this 1040 was released. I am too wondering how much support Samsung will continue to provide this unit.
One plus is that Samsung is in the commercial cable box business as well so they should be able to port over technologies to this unit.
The apps suck.... Especially the Plex app. The unit works great except on Music Choice channels. The audio cuts out randomly. This seems to be an issue with CableCARD tuners in general. I have four HDHR Prime's with Windows Media Center and they cut out on MC channels too.
So since I haven't found any other good thread about this unit we can just use this one.
