Hi PZ19,

I posted the wrong link, yes, I did buy the Samsung TV, thank you for the link to the manual, I've managed to set favourite programmes,

I'm not familiar with the smart feautures, that siad, I'm finding my way round all the features this TV has.

I really appreciate your time and help, thank you

You are on fire! Well done.

for the smart features to work, you need to connect the TV to the Internet.  That manual should show you how.  You click the home button and brings up the menu of the smart apps, like iplayer, itv player etc.  The paid for services like Apple TV, Netflix and now tv are on there also.  Like I said with now tv you get a free 7 day trial.  Cinema is basically all the stuff you get with sky movies, and there’s also entertainment.  Make sure you cancel before the end of 7 days though.  That’s easy to do via your now tv account which you will have to set up should you decide to go for free trial.

first things first though, connect the internet to the tv. Page 7 in manual.  How long have you got left with virgin?  I’m surprised they havent Called you since you cancelled with them.

I'm really pleased with my Samsung smart TV, just a query, anyone know what channel Sky News is on, I've googled for it, it says channel 132, although that channel number doesn't exist, I've been through the channel listings and cannot find it,  is Sky News not available on freeview?

Hasn't been on Channel 132 for years.  Look at channel 233 instead.

Thanks Neil,

There's no channel 233, it goes from 231 > BBC New, 232 > BBC Parliment, then 234 > RT documentaries

You may need to retune the tv, it may not have picked all the channels up

https://www.freeview.co.uk/freeview-channel-checker

put your postcode in here and should give you all the channels you should get.

Indeed.  If the OP is in a Freeview Light area, then they will not get Sky News as it's on Mux COM5, only available from main transmitters.
