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.

 

Thank you for your help!

Look for BLOCK URL. 

You must type in

Cloudfront.net

To add a block to that website.

Not sure if I can post this website address for AT&T. 

You can get a chat or call them. 

Ask how to block a website and then unblock it. They really don't have any good info on that. All I found was blocking a mac address. That would probably work. But its free help and safer for you to call or chat with AT&T. I would hate to mess up the system and cause a problem you don't have now! Sorry but I'll still try to help.

If I get a chat with ATT, what exactly do I ask them?  I would need a specific website to ask about blocking and unblocking.

I'm having a problem with my Samsung Smart TV. Downloading Apps. I have a fix that works. What the fix is to block a URL

(that's U. R. L. in case You don't know)

Cloudfront.net

Then unblock it. 

You will have to follow the directions I posted already.  

I would just read those to them.
