How to Change a Smart Hub Region


on a Samsung Smart TV
If you're not seeing an app you wish to use on your Samsung Smart TV, it's
probably because the Smart Hub is set to a different region (probably your local
region), so you need to change Smart Hub regions. The method is different based
on what type of Samsung TV you have, but below we're gonna outline how to do
it.

Note: With all of these guides, you will be restoring your TV to factory settings,
so if you are currently logged into any apps, you will be logged out as a result.
Furthermore, you can not have apps from different regions installed at the same
time.

F-Series (2013) and J-Series (2015)

1. Start by setting the source to "TV". If you are not sure how to do this just
switch inputs, and in a list of different HDMI inputs you should also see "TV".

2. Once you have set the source to TV, press the Menu button, and select
the System sub-menu.

3. In the system sub-menu you should see a Setup option. Click to begin

Privacy Policy" Page. When you are on this page, press the following buttons
in a direct sequence.
MUTE - RETURN ( button with circle-esque arrow) - VOL UP - CHANNEL UP -
MUTE

Note that it's important that you enter the sequence on this screen, and that
you enter it not too fast, but not too slow either (yes, sounds crazy).

5. It will probably take a few tries, but in the end you should see a big
country list, indicating that you have succeeded (yay!). Now just select your
preferred country, like USA for apps like Hulu, Crackle and Amazon Prime US,
or UK for BBC iPlayer and ITV.

H-Series (2014) and K-Series (2016)

For the H-Series, basically do the same thing, but enter either of these key
sequences on your remote when you are located on the smart hub terms and
conditions page:

 » - 2 - 8 - 9 - « (just so we're clear, this is FFWD - 2 - 8 - 9 - REW)

OR

MUTE - VOL UP - CHANNEL UP - MUTE
