I have a 2017 Samsung UN65MU9000 with latest firmware (1401).

TV Plus stopped working about 6 months ago.  Unusually, the guide works fine, shows all the shows, but when selected times out and displays a connection error.

I have 5 Samsung TVs in the house, and the other 4 work fine.  They are all connected wirelessly to an Orbi 750 mesh network, delivering over 400 Mbps.

The non-working (TV Plus) TV is the main use one in the living room, and is 5 feet from the router.  Things I have done to date:

1) Factory reset the TV.  2) Factory reset the router.  3)  Try alternative DNS settings.  4)  Hardwire the network from router to TV.  5)  Sacrifice a chicken (J/K, but almost...)   NONE of these made any difference.

I had an idea to try a different network, so I enable the hotspot on my Samsung Note 10+ phone, and enabled a WiFi connection for the TV through my phone.  Success!!!  It works flawlessly like this.   Please keep in mind, the other 4 TVs in the house work perfectly; it is only the one TV with this funky issue.

Since the guide works, I'm guessing the guide refers the user's channel selection to a different IP, which is where the issue arises, and the reason I tried different DNS settings which did not work.

Any advanced users that have a clue as to how to resolve this issue?

Thanks for your time!

D!
