How to Change Region on a Samsung Smart TV

A smart TV will have different apps available depending on what market it is sold in. TVS sold outside North America are often unable to switch region to the USA. Some apps are locked down to serial numbers of the TV model and as this limitation is based on the hardware it can’t be unlocked.

That said - changing the region to one of the following should provide access to the most popular apps on most TVs: USA, Mexico, Brazil, Canada, UK, Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.

When Smart Hub has loaded then press », 2, 8, 9, « (fast forward, 2, 8, 9, rewind). Please note that the new F-series Samsung TVs have a different way of changing the app store. Please take a look at our other tutorial here. If you have a H-series check this tutorial.

Under Internet service location, select the country you wish to use.

In other words, you can’t have American and British apps installed at the same time.
