C5 catch up on old Samsung TV
We have a perfectly functional Samsung Smart TV UE40H5500 but it has the 'old' C5 catch up (Demand5) and not the new My5 I've tried to update the software, but it says no update available. Is there a way round it? I *think* we have a Now TV box knocking round somewhere, would My5 be on that? :)
