It is a relief to know I'm not the only one & this isn't the result of me receiving a defective TV. The reason I bought my Samsung UHD (besides upgrading from Vizio FHD) is b/c of the capability to wirelessly broadcast video media from my PC to the TV (Vizio hadn't mastered this). Loved the idea so much I replaced both my living room TV and bedroom TV. Bedroom TV is still a winner.... But the situation with my living room TV having a receiver & PC patched into it - with this oddball source auto-switch - is a nightmare. I thought I'd just muffed up somewhere; reading now that it's a deliberate setting implemented by Samsung, with no option to disable or modify, really upsets me.   Which would be easier for them? To add an option for disabling this setting entirely? Or to give modification control? For instance: the issue I face is that my receiver is used for Blu Ray player + gaming console... but it's most frequently used for my 6.1 audio setup to hear broadcast television (HDMI 1). So it sucks that I turn the receiver on to get better audio for a sporting event, and the TV switches to HDMI 2; so I have to press remote buttons and flip it back. Ideally this auto-switch option could just be disabled; but to me it'd also be acceptable if I could choose which source the powering device activated. If I could make my receiver (patched to HDMI 2) trigger "HDMI 1" (my cable box) as its default, then it'd be zero problem for me.   Having stumbled across this discussion a few weeks ago, I've been forced to give inquiring minds negative feedback about Samsung - I've had several friends & family looking to buy new TVs recently. I don't want to lead anyone into suffering the same aggravation that myself & other folks have expressed here: I hope & pray that Samsung takes these comments seriously and makes the desired changes. It sounds like they made their decision to implement this based from opinions of ppl who are media-deficient & know nothing about how modern living room media setups are done. ... View more
