So, of the nigh on 400 TVs supported in BBC iplayer for the Blue Planet II HLG episodes none are from Samsung. Oh joy.
...

ON the KS owners refund thread

I just put this answer to a question,

Hi this is a reply fromSamsung which is a total lie as you can see from the Curry's link.
Regarding the Smart Connect USB dongle, we recommend seeking for assistance with Currys to provide confirmation if it is their promotion so that they can provide options for you. As of this time, Samsung has no existing offer for the free USB dongle.
Here is the are the links

They are really trying to crawl out of their promises!!!!!!!!!!!
@AntS Can you really justify Samsung's actions. It's a disgrace. They are miss leading, miss selling and actually making bare face lies. It is totally unacceptable and in my opinion no company should act like this towards it customers. Please help to sort it.

Also, you have taken all reasonable steps in respect of exercising your rights under the law, at your own cost in terms of time and expense. Going forward, if they refuse to acknowledge your rights and act responsibly, you might consider a charge you will charge them for each and every subsequent letter, email or phone call you find necessary in order to assert your legal rights as a consumer. Tell them politely you will charge them (say £20) each time you have to communicate with them, as you have already fulfilled your obligations under the law, until the matter is resolved. This is to cover your time and any expenses.
Note: I’m in no way offering actual legal advice, as I’m not qualified.

Going to give them a few more days before sending a further email with more proof about my rights as a consumer and will see how I get on.
This is why I never ever buy anything from Curry's. Not even batteries in an emergency. They flatly deny your legal rights and fob people off and get away with it in most cases (one is too many). It is deliberate company policy to try to deny customers their statutory rights, and if they are ever caught they always cite "training needed" as an excuse. They don't get to "have none of it", it's THE LAW.
Don't let them off the hook. And please, please, in future - DO NOT SHOP THERE.

As for the link related to HDR, we have checked that this is under Samsung US and covers Samsung televisions which are manufactured for the US. As of this time, there is no plan yet of enabling the UHD version of BBC iPlayer for your given TV model which is UK-based.
If you require additional support,
^^^ false statement using the word "additional", implying that her reply was in any way "support"
you can find How-To videos, answers to your questions and other useful information about Samsung products on our Support website www.samsung.com/uk/support.
Kind regards,

Wow. Thanks for sharing. This is a new level of dumb from Samsung I hadn't seen before!
"Shieryl M" need to be told what the "B" in "BBC" stands for.
She's almost implying that it you had an American model, you'd get 4k iPlayer support.
(And no, of course the promise was not restricted to American models only - another lie).

Just realised I totally messed up, click the blue Samsung link top of the page, on the right there is the feedback link. Hopefully you can find it.

Currys responded to my customer services email stating that as I bought the TV in store I'd need to bring my mis-selling issue to the store! Totally unaccetable response!

Of course. Tell them that they'd need to talk to their MP and start the long process of changing the law.
