Samsung TVs updated to death?

Engineer says they've fixed my set - with a new main PCB. Story they
were told this morning is that a batch of my model

Which almost definitely means that if you have any TV shows previously recorded
[on disk or memory stick] from that TV, you will no longer be able to watch them.

That would be extremely annoying, right enough. But they are all on my
Humax Foxsat box.

Latest (& I hope last) report:
Engineer says they've fixed my set - with a new main PCB. Story they
were told this morning is that a batch of my model (don't know if that's
only 40in or not) were faulty in some way so that the update killed
them. It would be interesting to know the exact details. Anyway, that
makes some sense of the JL story.
Unfortunately they can't deliver until Monday (20 miles away), but the
pleasure of seeing the 40in and beautiful design again will be all the
greater.

Glad things are on the up, and as you say the TV will be with you shortly.
Thanks for the update and lets hope your TV behaves itself.
