    The obvious question is have you connected your TV to your broadband router?

    Don't think Samsung use Android on tv's, they bought Boxee so have it in mind to create their own

    Try changing the DNS Server to 8.8.8.8 (Google's DNS server) in network settings. That fixed it for me. Also set the time manually. If you need more details on how to do this I can post later when I'm not in the phone 😄

    I have an LG Smart TV, with a Netflix app.

    I had to set a Static IP on the TV to get Netflix to work. It is now fantastic.

    See can you do that in your network settings on the TV.

    You will need to set a range of IP's in your router not within the DHCP IP range.

    If you need help let me know, I will if I can.

    Morgana's suggestions may also help, but do one thing at a time.

    I don't use 8.8.8.8 because I have Smart DNS set up, for US Netflix and BBC iPlayer apps on the telly.
