HTS-E5550 Cinavia Solution?

Hi to everyone at SamyGO!

I have a Samsung E5550 Home Theatre System (basically an E5500 with four speaker stands) that has been streaming backups of my DVD/BluRay collection for quite some time without problems, however, it's suddenly started producing the Cinavia Code 3 warnings and I can only assume that Samsung have forced an update as I've always left this as a manual decision.

If I go into the 'Contact Samung' section of 'Settings' it shows the following...

Model Code: HT-E5500Series_ZF
Software Version: HTB-E5500WWB-1023.1
Serial Number: N/A

Is there a solution for my Home Theatre System (downgrading or patching), if so, please could I receive detailed instructions on doing so as I've found the information on the SamyGO Forums to be quite confusing at times and I do not wish to cause damage to my equipment? I do know that if I stream to my TV, a Samsung UE46ES8000, the Cinavia warning isn't displayed, however, using ARC on HDMI doesn't give me 5.1, only 2.1 so not an ideal solution.

Thanks :D

OK. So what do I need to do in order to TRY and resolve this?

As I said in my original post, I've read various posts on the SamyGO Forums but have found myself very confused with all the options i.e. USB, DNS and some things that are only accessible via donations.

OK. After that I need to move on to 'Removing Cinavia on E/F...", but one question, will I still be able to play original DVD/BluRay discs on my E5550? I only ask as I noticed that for the F-Series there are two procedures (one to enable playback of DVD/BluRay discs) but nothing mentioned for the E-Series.

Thanks so much for your patience so far.

ehh I see you don't read whole... it's clearly explained that second procedure is to deal with F bug NOT E bug :P
