    How does Netflix work?

    Try downloading the app onto your iPad & see if it works via the app. If it does then you need to check your tv manual, although on my to its simply via highlighting Netflix app & pressing ok. If the iPad app doesn't work, it may suggest you haven't registered fully, if so, contact Netflix...

    How does Netflix work?

    If you've received confirmation email that you've registered, go onto Netflix via smart functions of your tv, then choose already registered or it may be log in ( can't remember exactly), then it'll ask for the email you've registered with, enter that, then it'll ask for your password, enter &...

    How does Netflix work?

    You can subscribe through iTunes or direct to Netflix. The normal full had service is £6.99, the 4K version is, I think, £8.99 a month. I'm not sure if you can get the latter via iTunes. Be aware that for 4K streaming Netflix recommends an internet speed of about 24-25mbps, otherwise you...

    Two year old Samsung 8500 plasma kaput!

    i had thought of waiting for the 2016 models, but as good as Reliant Direct have been, they only stock Samsung, so would be limited choice, plus I don't really want to pay anymore than £400 on top of the credit, particularly as we've just booked a third overseas trip for this year & ive had to...

    Two year old Samsung 8500 plasma kaput!

    I'd seen this one as well Gel, but would have to add extra £1000, which I don't really want to do. Reliant Direct price match & ive found a UK stockist with same terms selling the 65js9000 at £2299, so with price match only have to pay £400. I'm planning on heading down your route Gel in about 2...

    i am limited to buy from reliant direct, but I have had fantastic customer service, I would put it on par with John Lewis, so I have no option buying from them again.

    Well guys (& gals), I've got the offer on the table, drum roll please................................... D&G have offered settlement of £1883.59. I must say, I am quite happy with this, so have returned the signed agreement. I have to say, Reliant Direct whom I purchased the TV from, especially...

    agreed SonofSJ, my concern is what they now consider like for like! I've been told that the cost of the original TVs has no bearing on what they'll offer, therefore, if they consider a £1000 led equivalent, they'll offer £1000! That's not good. It appears I've another weeks wait on top of the 7...

    Two year old Samsung 8500 plasma kaput!

    Another verdict in! After waiting 4 weeks, they now have found out they can't get the panel & the TVs has now been written off. It is now the anxious wait of what they consider an alternative! Really couldn't have come at a worse time, as ive an enormous amounts of outgoings over next two...

    Two year old Samsung 8500 plasma kaput!

    The saga continues, after researching further on the Internet & discovering a Catologue of issues with the panel of the Samsung 8500 from the same issue I've had to the screen inexplicably developing cracks, as well as that I could be waiting 6 weeks + for the repair, I have instructed the...

    Two year old Samsung 8500 plasma kaput!

    Verdict in.... The warranty company have authorised a repair. The technician was surprised as the panel alone costs £1100 then repair costs on top!! Just hope it comes with no nasty surprises as my last panel had no discernible viewing faults, apart from packing in of course. Now just have to...

    Two year old Samsung 8500 plasma kaput!

    I'll probably get in touch with CanaryJules, I'm sure he'll be willing to offer a decent price, but I still feel reluctant when after 2 years the panel fails. If they repair & I receive the plasma back, it'll be wondering if in two years time it'll fail again. If it's replacement, it'll have to...

    Two year old Samsung 8500 plasma kaput!

    I've got the settings saved to USB, might even try it if I end up with another TV. Being a Yorkshire man, I don't like spending money, so I'll convince myself that the picture using the calibrated setting are the best thing since sliced bread!
