Change location or type in the menu

Post by hygros »

I own a UE48J6250 and as I learned only after I bought it, there is no PVR at least not for German versions.
At the time, a few month ago, when I bought it all resources indicated the "J" would have PVR.

That sucks, but ...

Question is what happens if I

- change location in the service menu
- change type to a JU Version in the service menu

Will that brick the telly.
The display, top of my head is something like FOX FT3 120Hz.

Yes I changed the location to UK as that this country has PVR.
Worked like charme.

In order to get into the servic menu.
I did not purchase the expensive remote control I did use a app "IR Remote" for Android that can handle the codes that you have to send to the telly.
Codes and how-to can be found in the Samygo Wiki.

So yes changing the location to get PVR running works.
I did not change model!! However that is possible looks like that "only" changes submenu settings.

PS: after I had a brief look at the link provided above to another thread...
I did not do a factory reset after changing location. If you do so you cannot re-import your channellist.
