You’ve got plenty of options for watching movies and shows, but Samsung TV Plus is tops for live TV. Sometimes though, it acts up – channels won’t load, videos buffer forever, or the app won’t open.

Of course, you’d prefer to solve the issue rather than switching, right? No worries, we’ve got you covered. Check out our handy solutions to fix any issues if the Samsung TV Plus is not.

1. Basic Solutions

Before we get into the nitty-gritty fixes, why not give some basic troubleshooting a shot? If you’ve already tried these steps, feel free to skip ahead to the next section.

• If your Samsung TV Plus isn’t working, start by checking your Wi-Fi. Give your router a restart. Then, on your TV, open the Samsung Internet Browser and visit speedtest.net to check your internet speed. This helps troubleshoot any connection issues.

• If Samsung TV Plus is acting up, try giving your Samsung Smart TV a reboot. Sometimes glitches or bugs can cause trouble, but a simple restart can often fix it. Hold down the Power button until it turns off and on, or unplug the TV for about 30-60 seconds before plugging it back in. That might do the trick!

2. Reset Network Settings

Recently, our Samsung Smart TV had a hiccup. The Wi-Fi was hooked up, but no internet joy. We blamed the Samsung TV Plus app at first, but it wasn’t the culprit. Turns out, it was just a network glitch. If your TV’s acting up too, it might be the same deal. Give resetting your network settings a shot like we did. It might just do the trick!

Alright, let’s break it down into easy steps:

1. Go to “All Settings” on your Samsung TV screen.

2. Click on “Connection” from the menu on the left side, then pick “Network.”

3. Now, choose “Reset Network” from the list.

4. Finally, tap on the Reset button to confirm. Then, you’ll just have to type in your Wi-Fi password again to reconnect.

3. Update Samsung TV

If your Samsung TV acts up, it could be a hiccup in the software causing trouble with Samsung TV Plus. Or maybe the app itself needs a tune-up. To tackle this, try updating your TV’s software. Here’s what to do:

1. To start, head to your Samsung TV’s main screen and find “All Settings.”

2. Next, click on “Support” on the side menu, then opt for “Software Update.”

3. Simply select “Update Now” to proceed.

4. Change DNS Settings

In the old days, maybe you tinkered with your TV’s DNS settings for better privacy and security. But sometimes, this messes up your internet and makes apps act wonky. No worries! Here’s how to switch those settings back to normal.

1. On your Samsung TV’s main menu, just go ahead and click on “All Settings.“

2. Find “Connection” on the side menu, give it a tap, then choose “Network.” You’re on the right track! Time to sort out those settings.

3. Click on “Network Status.”

4. Now, go to “IP Settings.”

Note: If it says “Get automatically” for DNS, no changes were made, so you can skip ahead. But if it shows “Enter manually,” someone tweaked the DNS settings.

5. Click on the DNS setting, then pick “Get automatically.”

6. Next, simply press the OK button.

5. Correct the Date and Time on TV

If your Samsung Smart TV’s clock is off, it might mess with your TV channels. You know, like when your favorite show starts at 8, but your TV thinks it’s still 7? So, keep your TV’s time and date settings spot-on for smooth viewing!

Now, let’s get into it:

1. Once you’re on your Samsung TV’s home screen, just find and tap on “All Settings.”

2. Head to “General & Privacy” on the left side, then pick “System Manager.”

3. Click on “Time” and then select “Clock.”

4. You can adjust the time yourself or switch to Auto mode.

6. Factory Reset Samsung TV

If the earlier fixes didn’t do the trick, here’s another option: reset your Samsung Smart TV. It’s like giving it a fresh start, wiping away any glitches that might be messing with Samsung TV Plus. Just remember, everything on it will disappear, so back up what you need!

Here’s the whole deal:

1. Go to the main screen of your Samsung TV and select “All Settings.”

2. Now, scroll to “General & Privacy” and tap on it. Look for the “Reset” option.

3. Type in the PIN. If you haven’t set one up, just use 0000.

4. Just find the “Reset” button on your TV and give it a tap. Your TV will then start resetting itself.
