All4

[bainbrig]

Anyone know an easy way of getting hold of free access to All4? We keep getting pushed down the path of free ads for £4-ish per month - all we want is free access!

There is a free app for iPhone or iPad

But we want access through our Smart TV (Samsung) as we do for iPlayer, for instance, not phones or pads.

I have a Samsung and I'm pretty sure it came with all4 already installed...same with iPlayer and a number of others.

BB have you joined Ch4? I had to do that two years ago and it said I could then watch All4 channels ad free if I wanted. I use a Samsung as well.

BB if you've got a smart TV you should have an app for All4 as you do for iPlayer or have I misunderstood you?.

I have a Smart Samsung TV and All4 is available by press ing the Smart button and scrolling along to the All4 app...or, if it's not already there, go to the Samsung app and download it from there.

^ should say "to the Samsung app store".....

[bainbrig]

I’ll try the Samsung App Store, as we definitely haven’t got it pre-loaded. Tks.

When I go to apps on my tv, more4/4od is not with iPlayer and other major apps. Instead, I need to scroll down to "more apps"...a bit like turning a page.

Samsung Support. How highly can I praise them?

The TV was bought 8 years ago - still suits us well, so haven't bought a new one. And yet the support worker (Ramai) was charming, efficient, stayed on the chat-line for over 45 minutes, took control of the TV remotely, and finally sorted out the problem (mainly caused by me not having the ethernet cable connecting the TV to the Router plugged in...)

Wonderful service. Whatever we buy in future, it'll be a Samsung!
