Comments (2)Thanks for all your hard work Karen! Can't wait to read it in its entirety. Jodi-...See MoreHow long have you had your flat screen tv?
Comments (18)So, maybe to clarify...Our smaller tv (~10 yrs old) gets lots of use. It is on from about 5-10 pm at minimum on weekdays and more on the weekend. The larger tv doesn't get quite as much use, but it still gets a fair amount. That is about 26,000 hours (I rounded to 50 hours for the weekly average) on the smaller tv in the 10 years. I do not know what is considered average or expected for the life of a flat screen, but I just looked for an answer and the plasmas are supposed to last 100,000 hours and I expect the LED/LCD are similar. That is a lot of tv watching. If we get 100,000 hours, that would mean about 40 years! Four years does not seem like very much time. I would be very unhappy....See MoreI would like to add an app to my Samsung smart television.
Comments (18)Oh Mary, yes I did. Couldn't decide to tell you the long or short story. Thank you for caring. I was looking for Acorntv right? I went to Apps on my Samsung and it was not with Netflix and the other few apps that came with the television. Chatted with Samsung and my television does not support Acorntv. Saw an ad for Acorn on line and filled out the info and got to the part where I was free to write on the form. Asked how I can get this app since Samsung told me my television serial # doesn't support it. No answer. Filled out the Acorntv subscription form again and complained about them not answering and updated my request to call me. "I am on a major forum and I will provide them feedback." Meanwhile, I went to my X1 XFINITY button on their remote and pushed it. I use some tabs on it every day. Went through all the tabs: Guide, On Demand, Search and Apps. Looked at Apps again. ACORN is not there. Went to Search. ACORN is not recognized. Never used On Demand before X1 and new television. Found buried in Xfinity' s On Demand tab, a couple of rows down wasACORNtv app. Signed up to see what that would do. At the same time ACORNtv called concerning what I wrote on my form and listened to my story. They called back and said I was now subscribed to two places: Acorntv Direct ( which needs Roku) and Xfinity Acorntv (doesn't need Roku) Same Acorntv. Same price. Lovely woman said she would take me off of Acorntv Direct and let me be billed through Xfinity. Any questions or comments?...See MoreAddy Cheong
