Hello!

 

I've just bought a 40NU7120, and I cant see the TVPlayer app in the apps store. Am I missing something? I've got UKTV Player installed, but I cant find the app to watch live TV (there's no aerial connected to the TV, only WiFi).

Hi, no I don't think there is.  The Live TV app will only appear if you have a terrestrial aerial (or Freesat dish) installed and connected and tuned in to channels.

 

Your only other option is to stream directly from the apps related to the channel you want to watch i.e. BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub etc... You're effectively using your TV as a big iPad....

Hey @e5115271

 

If you're unable to see or add a specific app on your TV then it won't be compatible with your model.

Thanks for the quick reply Tracy.

 

Does anyone know if there is an app that will allow me to stream live TV compatible with this model?

Yes, it seems that the developers of TVPlayer no longer keep the app updated for newer Samsung TVs. As previously mentioned your only option is to watch live through other apps. iPlayer and ITV let you do this. Channel 4 currently doesn't let you stream live via the app like it does online or through Roku.
