Hi Everybody !
I was surfing through the forums and I found that all the posts for Samsung F8000 series TVs are related to the UN series (I guess USA version) and there is no single post regarding the UAE version (like UA55F8000 ). Just for everybody's interests, the UAE version is entirely different than the USA version and it's mostly useless to search or surf for answers regarding the UAE version.
If you are wondering like what is the difference then:
1. The firmware version in UAE is 1113.1 whereas I have read somewhere for UN version it is 1119...
2. The "ON TV' tab is not available in smart hub.
3. Netflix/Hulu/etc. is not available
4. PVR function is not available (or maybe I don't know how to do)
So started this thread in hope that if someone else is having the same or similar model then it would be useful to know what they are experiencing.
Just to let you know I am an Engineer, though not very expert in audio/video systems, but mostly I can manage my own network and other setups myself. I have recently purchased a UA55F8000 Samsung TV, which is awesome by all standards, but I am not able to get through many stated features. So I want to make sure that I am not missing anything here (It's quite possible that these features are not available here like the iPhone FaceTime doesn't work here).
Hope to see some conversation happening soon.
Cheers !!
