    As I am taking delivery of a new Samsung TV off yourselves today,are these TVs set to auto update ?
    Hi Vandriver.

    Samsung have removed the update so no NEW televisions can be effected by the dodgy firmware.

    Your new TV can not get this firmware update.

    Hope this eases your mind.

    VanDriver,

    just to add to Kenny's comments above - apparently only about 200 TV's across the UK have been affected and Samsung have already launched a field service remediation programme to correct the issue.

    Locally (thankfully) we haven't had any issues and as above the software update has now been withdrawn so it cannot affect any new TV's.

    Thanks again,

    ATVB,

    John Mc & Crew
