Hello,
Our scheduled viewing and scheduled recording function on our TV has recently stopped working. You can select these functions and they will show in the scheduler however no notifications are received or recordings started. If you go to the guide or scheduler after the start time of the selected programme the viewing or recording indicator has disappeared.
Has anyone experienced anything similar or able to suggest anything that may help us fix this?
Thank you.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Reported to John Lewis. Engineer coming out next Tuesday. Watch this space.
Tried everything that could be done and am not going to start crossing a line when the TV should actually do waht it is meant to do. Watch this space. Will report back.

After reporting ours to John Lewis we had an engineer out, he updated the software & so far so good. Hope yours is a positive outcome.

Have you tried doing a manual retune of freeview , since I did this around 3 months ago it fixed the same problem for me. TV scheduled viewing and recording has now continued to work on every occasion and recorded around 250 programs to date.

Think Ive tried all the various hints and tips. Still have a problem. Engineer been. Had supposed software uodate that is meant to fix the problem that Samsung now confirm exists. Tried it on my TV but no joy. Note that my TV model number is not on the list of TVs that this update works on. Engineer will report back to Samsung and investigate what next. He also said that many TVs, Sony, lg have same problem. He also said Samsung have advised not to replace motherboard as that does not fix the problem. He also said he bought a samSams TV some 18 months ago and he saw the problem and it was also reported by a user. He then checked all the Samsung TVs they were selling and ALL if them had the problem. Will not go back to John Lewis and see what they say.

I'm using the following USB Hard Drive on my Samsung TV Model UE55NU8000 a "WD My Passport 4 TB Portable Hard Drive for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 - Blue" which i got from Amazon for around £88, good value with loads of capacity.
Has been working well for me for the past 3 months recording loads of films etc . The only issue I have ,( its a minor one ) is that the more I record to it ( currently have used 1.3TB ) the slower it takes to load Recording and Schedule Manager. I can of course delete stuff which will no doubt speed things up a bit.
