TV: UE55 NU7500
I'm not sure whether this is a general Samsung issue or just to do with my TV, but the amount of space allocated to the Smart Hub apps seems to be seriously lacking.
As this is a new TV I thought I'd explore some of the available apps, but when I went into the Apps area I got a message saying that there was insufficient space to update apps. This was before I had downloaded anything, so it would purely apply to the pre-installed apps.
I checked settings and the used space was 751MB with 64MB available, i.e. 7%. This seems absurd as these apps can't be deleted and are built into the system. The available space doesn't even allow them to be updated. I then tried resetting Smart Hub. This has helped to an extent as the available space is now 13%. However, it's still far too low and whenever I try and download a new app I get a warning about available space.
I can't believe that the pre-installed apps are taking around 700MB of space, and it seems crazy that Samsung would design the system this way. Presumably I will have to install an SD card to provide more space for the apps?
Any tips welcome as this is my first Samsung TV.

I now have to wait up to 72 hours for a reply......I think its time to bring some Social Media into play, they dont like bad press.
How infuriating. They're acting like robots. This issue has been going on for months and numerous people have reported it to them and gone through the tedious process of dealing with them. They're fully aware of the issue so there's no need to refer it anywhere.
Regarding social media, good idea. Twitter would be a good place to start.

Yup I have started the assault, I might go back to the live chat and make your point, that this is a well-documented issue and not just common to me and it now needs resolving.
