Hi there

Sorry to hear that you are having problems. Can you please describe things in more details? Have you tried any troubleshooting yourself (as in checking to ensure that your TV is connected to your network/internet correctly).

What is the exact model of your TV, you have part of it, whats the rest?

Sorry to ask questions, but Its hard to help without more information.

Cheers

Hi there

Your symptoms sound more like a network issue. Am I assuming that you've connected your TV to your network via wireless? If so, can you please connect an ethernet cable to the TV and change the TVs network settings to LAN cable. Then give this a test out.

Most applications will 'disapear' if the TV does not detect an internet/network connection/

Cheers

Cool.

Just checked, the firmware version for your TV, should be : PKG2.263EUA can you check this in the support section of the TV?

Cheers

I'm guessing here. Did you use the "plus" item in the right side box, or "All Apps" at the bottom of the screen? From either you can reach a big messy list of all apps. You can scroll the list and add your favorite apps, which will then show in the right side box.
