After recently upgrading my ue46c8000 to a qe55q9fn 2018 model. Ive discovered that DTS is not supported? Is this going to be resolved with a firmware update as most films films now come with DTS audio?
Samsung blu ray players also support DTS? Is this an oversight or a backward step?

It uses Dolby digital+ so you may need adjust the audio out to that, not to just Dolby digital. No DTS.

The tv wont pass through / decode dts full stop.
I too have all my movies on usb HDD, some have DTS and i get either no sound or the next audio track which is DD and in a foreign language.

The petition has already been signed by more than 200 people!
However, we should get many more, as I’m sure there are thousands of people upset and disappointed with the lack of DTS support in 2018 Qled TVs.
I think it would be time to get an official response from Samsung on this… will they finally provide the DTS support through a firmware update ?

Samsung won't update S#!t.
Terrible company for aftercare/support once a product is released.
Standards have dropped a lot over the last 3-5 years.
This DTS issue is very frustrating, though I do like my Q9FN.

Are the new Samsungs passing DD and DD+ for netflix then?
Yeah will need to get somthing to plug usb hdd into to play direct to av reciever for dts then.

May be worth putting a link to the petition on the audio visual forums?

It should not come as a surprise that all of our efforts on this forum will be ignored. This is a purely self help "community" forum. All of our problems are tied directly to their Firmware.
There have been less than zero f-u-c-ks given by any of the forum staff and support employees. To rub more salt into our wounds, support issue employees, even if they would want to, CANNOT access any internet links (including this forum).
So it is save to presume that in the world of Samsung employees everything is fine and works better than expected. The only thing we could actually do, is flood their support staff with enough issue tickets that they actually might want to investigate further (I already have, and was told, more or less, to go F myself).
In the real world though there have been so many BIG problems with their brand new lineup that I feel sorry for myself and anyone who bought the same TV lineup.
Just a quick reminder of the features provided by our "premium" QLED lineup:
No DTS
No DolbyDigital
FLAC support only for stereo channels
Network connection problems
SmartHub instability
Subtitles wash out the entire screen when using SDR/HDR (ironically)
... and many more
Honestly now that I think back, I should have known that it would be like that. The QLED lineup went on sale worldwide with cut down prices to make it more competitive (+ Xbox included for some models, ...). Knowing what I know now of my TV, I would have never given them my money, not even if they further decreased the price.
Classic Samsung, powerfull hardware, utterly garbage software...

I agree with you, but would say having been on these forums for a while dealing with ks refunds thread and the hlg on BBC iPlayer the moderators are very good and do try to help as much as they can. One thing possibly incorrect is the Dolby digital support of the tv. It will pass through Dolby digital+ but you must have it set up to bitstream and Dolby digital+. I the q9f connected to my Denon receiver and it did Send a Dolby digital+ signal, but not DTS.
