Samsung hit by latest smart TV issue

The problem meant that many smart TVs could not connect to the servers, leaving many services unavailable

A problem during a server update left many Samsung smart TVs looking not so smart this week.

Affected sets were unable to connect for two days, meaning owners could not use their more advanced features.

The problem is now fixed, Samsung said.

It follows a series of issues for the firm in recent weeks, which admitted that its sets were sharing users' voice data, before opening an investigation into why its TVs were adding adverts to media played via third-party apps.

In a statement released on Thursday, Samsung said that it conducted its regular update of the Smart Hub server on the morning of Tuesday, 24 February.

"During this process, it was reported that some of our customers in certain countries encountered difficulties in connecting their Smart TVs to the server.
