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

I have emailed Samsung too. Hopefully I will get a response from JL or Samsung, once i will keep you all posted.
Chris/Paul - did you email Samsung too?
Paul - Your refund, which retailer was it with?

I messaged John Lewis again yesterday for an update, they told me they are still working with Samsung to find a resolution and they will get back to me as soon as they can.
What do you guys think? I guess I just have to wait and see what they get back to me with, I made it clear in various emails that I am not going to accept a SmartThings hub as a resolution as it does not provide the same functionality.

It was Samsung who replaced my ks9500 wigh a q9f. Got it last week but not happy with it., as HDR is very dull blooming , and banding. It will not cast from my phone. Now back trying to deal with Samsung support again to get it fixed. Promised twice a call back and never happened. Not happy.

No bought from DA TECH through Amazon. Will never do that again as you lose your section 75 protection when you buy through Amazon. Was surprised when Samsung offered to replace it. I also had issues with are recording as well.

@paul1277 - Thanks Paul. Do you have a case number or reference number we can use so that Samsung can check if the issues are similar and then to also offer a replacement ?

Not neccessarily. You lose S.75 when you there's no clear debtor-creditor relationship.
So if you'd bought it directly from Amazon you'd be covered, but items 'sold by Crapitt & Scarper Sons & fulfilled by Amazon' aren't covered.

Correct.

I stated on this forum that I would give Samsung until the end of February 2018 to resolve this, and then I would discuss returning the TV for a refund to JL.
This still stands, and there are 8 more days until I begin the process. Samsung are absolute p*ss takers and I genuinely will never buy or recommend a product of theirs again. If they are hiding, in the hope that this will blow over, they are mistaken, and I find their arrogance and contempt for their customers extremely offensive.
