After I installed my SEK-3500 to my UN50HU6950F I was super excited to test out all of the upgraded features, only to find out that once I get to the smart hub that I'm not allowed to download apps. It was quite disappointing. I keep on getting "Smart Hub is upgrading please try again later" Error. So i leave it sit for 24 hours and try again. Still getting the same error. So i restored the tv to factory settings, unplugged the evolution kit, and restored the TV without the evolution kit to factory settings as well. Everything is updated firmware. I can install apps fine before I plugged in my evolution kit, but I still can't afterwards. Then I call up samsung. They ended up transfering me to remote management who resets everything again, the guy ends up saying that he doesn't know why its not working and then says he is going to transfer me to his supervisor. Ten minutes later I get hung up on without talking to anyone else. So i play around with the settings, and I notice that when its redownloading the stock apps in the smarthub I get a download error. Also I'm missing my playstation now app. I gave up for the night and went to bed.
Today, I called back and the guy on the other line did the same steps the other guy did and then left to go talk to people and the guy said that one of his coworkers had a similar issue today and that they think it's a problem on samsungs servers.
I am a bit frusterated with the whole situation, and i'm wondering if anyone else has had the same issue with there TV and or Evolution kit that has a solution on how to fix it.
Yes, I don't think the issue is resolved; The community used a work around, but if you do a restore of the TV the issue will continue to persist until you do the work around again
Blocked cloudfront.net through Open DNS and verified through my computer that it is in fact blocked. Tried all methods mentioned and still not fixed. Interestingly, I changed my country code to British Virgin Islands and the Smart Hub test passes. When I switch back to USA the Smart Hub is stuck upgrading and the Smart Hub test fails on App test. Oh, and I have the Netflix affliction, too.
Frustrating to buy a $400 piece of electronics that does not do everything it is supposed to do.
