Software freezes and becomes unresponsive to remote commands and also the buttons on the TV itself? TV picture/sound (ant) plays. Must unplug to fix.

I have observed this pattern. This is consistent in my TV. When I click on 'INFO' button when I play PBS OTA channels - TV freezes.So I never click 'INFO' button when I play PBS OTA channels.

Evidently unplugging the TV reboots the software, and sets the TV back to its initial factory settings. I do the same thing with my Sony 3D player from time to time since it sometimes pauses briefly while watching a movie and it can be fixed by unplugging it.

Dealing with the same problem. It started happening about a week after the remote stopped functioning, so I assume it's something related to that.

Hi I have trouble with my unit. I dont think its a TV problem. I only get a snowy screen and the sound is in slow motion. The batteries seems okay with a meter check. Anyone else have this problem?

Don't forget that if you are using the TV's component adapter you have to go to your TVs inputs and switch it to "Comp" instead of just "video." Just press left on your remote.

I find that if there are some problems on the edges, like colored lights or moving things, these can usually be corrected by pressing the picture size button on the Samsung remote until you get the best fit. Otherwise, the problem might be tiling which occurs when the digital picture breaks up. That should be checked out by your satellite or cable provider.

After a power outage at our house, our TV picture began to freeze up when first turned on. We would have to restart it several times before normal functioning returned. I realize this is not your specific problem, but maybe you had a power surge that affected the electronics. Or maybe these TVs just last 3-4 years.

Deokar I have the same issue sometimes and I click and hold the power button or try to just hit it once and then everything is back to normal. After of course you select an activity. It seems to be a software/firmware issue that eventually will be resolved with an update. After all nothing is perfect, LOL.I love this remote.

Call the company, they may have tried to do a software upgrade on the TV and it got stuck... that happened to mine once. She had me unplug it, the plug it back in and hold the power button while she sent a refresh signal then tried to push the download. Took almost an hour to get it working right.

I'm glad I found your post Alan... I almost sold this TV over the OPC issue. I found it terribly irritating, but turning it on and to 1 fixed it.

No issues here, been using for 7 months now. However, I noticed one day my HD was horrible quality, and it started freezing and jitters. I tried to troubleshoot it all around on the TV settings and no luck, then I did a reset on the HD cable box and it was fixed!

sounds like you have had some bad luck. I've had mine for 3 yrs, have moved twice during that time and have never had any issues with the remote or the tv for that matter. Sorry. :-(

Unplug it, wait a minute or two and plug it back in. I had this problem as well and it was happening a lot, so I returned my tv for a LG...great move, no problems since.

Try tuning the tv on first then restart the computer after that you can connect the rockfish adapter

my only suggestion is: do a factory reset. it will erase all synchronized data and will start fresh. u will need to redownload apps that you use. if factory reaet doesn't fix your problem. then there is something wrong woth the tv

Don't know about remote problems, but the unit I had locked up regularly and I had to unplug it for a minute or so and then plug it back in to reboot. Then it would usually work okay for a while. As soon as the warranty expired, it quit playing DVDs so I got a new one (different brand) that doesn't have so many problems.
