This happens when you have the auto tune option set (settings , broadcast, autotune). TV will retune itself, usually in the middle of the night, and then requires confirmation of which region you are in when you turn it on the next day. If you disable the auto tune the problem will go away, but then of course you dont have the benefit of automatically finding any new chanels which may get added in the future.

Hello mate,

Having the same issue with my new TV. Did disabling auto tune sort the issue out?

Hi Michael,

 

To be honest, in the end, I did nothing and one day it stopped asking for the region.  I assumed that the firmware must have been updated as I didn’t make any changes.

 

Sorry I can’t be more helpful.

 

Cheers

Great thanks...simple fix really.

I mentioned it to the Samsung "expert" in Currys, when i was last in, and he suggested that if the system didnt need updating then to bring the TV in and change it!

Glad I checked on here first.

Thanks again,

Michael
