Samsung TV Plus Not Working

[userxoWT2bYogz]

When we try to launch Samsung TV Plus we receive the following message: There was a problem while trying to play the Samsung TV Plus channel. Check your network settings or try again later. It has not worked for several days. 

We have unplugged the TV and plugged it back in. We have verified the network connection is good. We have reset the TV back to factory and it still does not work.

l have a QN55Q6DTAFXZA TV and yesterday channel 1005 (CBSN) and 1007(ABC) stopped connecting. all other channels on TV plus work. I have tried each of the suggested solutions with no luck.

Are you getting any errors on those particular channels?

We changed the DNS setting in the TV to Google's DNS (8.8.8.8) cold booted, and everything now loads. Apparently my ISP DNS was not resolving the Hulu and Samsung TV Plus addresses. Two hours with Samsung Support and they tried everything BUT this.

I tried changing the dns with no success.  All other network apps work flawlessly.

What are the steps to the DNS settings?

[user3FC2ZzhUw4]

Setting up Samsung TV DNS addresses

1. Go to Menu > Settings menu > Network > Network status.
2. Click Network status.
3. When the check is complete, click IP Settings.
4. Choose the DNS setting and select Enter manually.
5. Enter the Smart DNS location provided by yourchosen service.

That was weird. I tried this, didn't work. Changed it back to 'automatic' DNS settings, still didn't work. Shut the TV off and went to do more research on the computer. Came back about 5 minutes later to try something else, and it was working.

Thank you, changing DNS server to 8.8.8.8 worked!!!!!
