Hello. Smart remote is too smart for me. How do I fast forward a You Tube video using the Samsung's smart remote ?

I believe that the YouTube app has a control that pops up if you swipe your finger across the touch pad while a video is playing. You should then be able to higlight the FF icon and click the touchpad to move forward.

So far I have been unsuccessful in gettting this to work. According to what I have read even the alternate Samsung QWERTY remote does not work entirely well with the interface. This seems to be extremely shortsighted engineering.

Hello Lilyan, It's been a while since I had that TV. I don't believe the TV itself had smart TV technology. If you have a Wii or DVD player with smart TV you could stream from those to the TV. Unless you're getting a great deal on that TV (less than $500) I would steer clear of it. The picture was fantastic while it lasted, but started getting grid lines through it and Sony would not fix. hth..

It depends on your definition of "work". Navigation using arrow key and enter will work. but individual apps (Netflix, youtube, Pandora) do not recognize the keyboard. See full details of what doesn't work with Smart TV here at: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1R4CQ4NFJPDNU/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B00JO80LUI

To yell you the truth, I started with XBMC and it froze up on me and it was returned to Amazon. I never had a chance to check out you tube app because XBMC has you tube as well. Sorry but that's all I know.

Susan,You are correct - this is not a Smart TV. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products.--Mr. S

If you are watching through the web interface then yes you can skip ahead in 30 second increments. If you watch through the roku app no you cannot skip in 30 second increments but it is pretty easy to use the fast forward button on the roku remote to skip commercials. If you watch from the WP8 app you cannot skip in ahead in 30 second increments. You have a slider at the bottom and it's a little hard to skip ahead accurately. You can also watch your simple.tv device through Chromecast, iOS, and Android devices but I don't use those so I'm not sure how they work. Also, when I bought this device it often malfunctioned. There have been several software updates since I bought mine around the beginning of the year and it works much better now. If you buy one make sure you update it during setup.

Yes, absolutely. I didn't have any problems streaming videos from Amazon. For that matter, I haven't had any problems with the Samsung Smartv at all. In particular I like being able to look something up on the Internet while I'm watching TV. I had to get a Samsung wireless keyboard for that but it works flawlessly.

from what im hearing the only thing that works are the samsung cords, which are 50 bucks. maybe have not tried it. i know you can use it as a remote for the tv

The best way to handle the apps is through the samsung tv remote app which works on iphone/ipad etc. you can do all the typing with ease.

Using your remote, go to Input select menu, use up/down arrow to go to component/video. Input button on remote is second row from the top, on the left. Hope that works for you.

Hi, I searched for that option too but apparently the remote doesn't come with it, what I use now is the Android app "Google TV remote" which works pretty much the same as the physical remote control but this one has more features and there is one call "recall" which allows the function that you are looking for, this app is free and is better than the original remote control (if you have an android phone it will be very useful) Regards

You can find a link to a Youtube tutorial on the remote here, it looks like you will have to cut and paste the link...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXjKZ15-qTM

Ours is a Samsung smart TV and I couldn't get it to work. At all. It wouldn't connect.

I don't own a TV, so I'm unaware of what smart TVs are capable of. Maybe if you put the drive in a USB enclosure... There's no remote with the optical drive.
