Low awareness of SamyGO

Post by erdem_ua »

I look visitors for SamyGO and see that our project is not known in America well.
How could we increase our awareness on America?
Do American people don't care hacking their TVs?
It's also good to announce project existence at other countries but Germany, which almost 1/4 of our users come from :)

Hey, some one who have good English could create a page for us on Wikipedia?

I thought our hack are already support American models too. At least most of content library tools and Firmware Patcher script work for UN, LN tv's too.
And if they don't came and request help for their problems, how could we support their firmwares? We don't have American tvs for testing our tools.
I think American users of SamyGO needed to talk about us/advertise us to their friends, on their blogs, twitters, facebook, etc.

Hhm, indeed there are only few tips & tricks f?r US-Models around here.

8-)

I could contribute as i own a PN50C550. But it seems it has some firmware differences compared to the european model PS50C550.

Btw: I am german, but actually living in the US.. ;)

I think most of our tools works for UN people too. At least that is true for B series.
And how could we test/produce american version compatibility if no one test/try to use our programs?

Yes, it's sad. Many people could use advanced network sharing like Samba/NFS tools instead of buggy DLNA. Also could use PVR options etc... Please, spread us to forums/sites/portals that you are visiting. Thanks.

Well, I guess it's because of the speed of growth of our forum.
We need to tweet and quote the forum all over the Internet.
It's true that some things are slightly different in american models but a lot of features work on those models.
I'm at Latam and the major changes between my UN40B7000 and yours is the Internet content: the LED models are made at Brazil and the content is provided by Terra instead of Yahoo.
In fact, the weather fcast of the units sold at Argentina only offer Brazilian cities!!

As a conclusion: more tweets and quotes mean more users, more Q&A's, additional developers and better ranking for Google searches ;)
