The 'only in two rooms' thing is awful, how do they justify shite like that?
The 'only in two rooms' thing is awful, how do they justify shite like that?
My internet has gone from 300Mb/s to something between 1 and 5 depending on what way the wind is blowing so I’ve cancelled Now, Apple, and Disney. Netflix and Amazon remain. Half tempted to get Sky the proper way because I’m missing the sport channels.
The TV seems to default to some Rakuten thing nowadays (maybe because I’ve no aerial plugged in at all) and the quality of the content fucking horrendous.
I've had a dodgy box for years for about £70 a year and it's absolutely spot on. It's annoying that it's behind live TV by about 20 seconds but worth it for the quality.
Finished handsmaid last night. It's absolutely brutal but excellent. I think the 4th series is the weakest but let's see if they can close it out before they Walking Dead it.
It means you can watch 2 different channels at once, no?
Hmmm. Im tempted. Now to convince the wife. She wants a reverse osmosis water filter much to my dismay, so can use it as a trade off perhaps.
My TV does that Rakuten shite too. I hate it. I wish I could uninstall it somehow.
+1
They must be paying the TV companies to make them the default or something. I thought it was just us.
Bugger, I've just ordered a Sumsung. Thank fuck I've now got Sky to plug into it.
I have satellite TV and it still does it.
Yeah I’ve Virgin and it does it. Samsung TV Plus though, not Rakuten, but sounds like the same thing.
Hopefully my new LG defaults to the Virgin box.

Yeah I think mine is branded as Samsung TV Plus too, but Rakuten TV is in the corner of the screen all the time. There’s a Rakuten button on the remote too and it’s one of the only apps you can’t uninstall.
Yep Samsung as well. Bastards.
Is it a new thing for all of you even with a TV service plugged in? I always had Virgin plugged into this and then didn’t use the TV for a couple of months. I thought this was only on it because I’d no service plugged into it.
This is worrying news about Samsung. The last product of theirs I bought was top notch.
Pissed about with Sky for half an hour. It's pretty sweet. Sooo much content and having live tv back again is great.
What are they? Is it hacked sky or an android streaming box thing?
Send PM.
@Boydy - android boxes.
I've just tried Rakuten on my current Panasonic and, well, what the fuck? Who is behind this?
It wants me to sign up, so how does that situation ever become the default and did you all sign up to get into it?
I've never signed up, it just comes up on the screen and starts showing me trailers for a load of shite.
Looks like Samsung own it

Unreal.I have blocked the Rakuten servers on my DNS server by directing them to 0.0.0.0 but what do you know?, Rakuten keep changing the domains that they use for this nuisance .
Maybe get an LG or something Yev
Already on its way.
Seems to have sorted it. Cheers.I found a way to completely disable the TV plus on the TV all together. Has been going for a few weeks now and not came back. I'm in the UK running a ue55nu7100
Turn the TV off first.. On the remote press info then settings then mute then power, when the TV loads back up you should have a blue over lay menu at the left hand side.
Go to option, then "MRT Option" then in the list you will see "TV plus support" turn it off and reboot . Enjoy
Please don't mess about with any other settings in here I have no clue what they do. Hope it helps.

Second tv arrived and all set up with Sky. Only irritation so far is it keeps asking me to agree to T&C's, which I can't do without an internet connection to the tv and I don't need or want one of those as I have Sky. Also fearful an internet connection may be a gateway to all that Rakuten shite, which is nowhere to be seen at the moment, thankfully.
Decided to watch Chernobyl again as Sky has it in UHD. Whatever the resolution though, it really is a masterpiece.
The last episode might be the finest piece of television I've ever seen.
I see there's Chernobyl 1986 on Netflix as well - no idea if it's any good but might be worth checking out.
Cheers mo. I clocked that the other day so I think I'll give it a whirl when I'm done with this one.
Isn't that the duff propaganda one that the Russians made in response to the series?
If it is I'm definitely in.
