Samsung TV Yahoo Widget Bar stopped working suddenly?
-
I notice a couple other Samsung owners have very recently also experienced problems w/ their Yahoo! TV Widget Bar. I have had a similar experience: I purchased my LN46C650 about 7 months ago. Terrific set, eye-popping picture, no problems running the internet@TV apps, no probs w/ NETFLIX, Pandora, AP ticker, or any of the apps ... UNTIL suddenly on or about 1/16/2011 the Yahoo! widget bar no longer functions (I like all the Yahoo! widgets but particularly have used it on this set to access my Amazon-On-Demand content). Cannot engage the widget bar either thru the remote controller Yahoo button or by selecting the app's icon at the internet@tv menu. I am really trying to ascertain if other owners of this set have experienced this as well, to determine if I really have a set-specific problem or if an internet@tv update has permanently or temporarily disabled this feature. I have fast broadband connection (routinely over 7mbps) and ALL other internet apps are working perfectly--as was this one until it suddenly ceased. Anyone? I have had 3 chat's w/ Samsung agents, but they have been unsuccessful at restoring this Very Useful Feature. I have reset the remote controller, I have reset the TV to factory settings, I have reset the internet@TV app, and none of these re-enabled the Yahoo! app. Samsung's chat agent said to take it to level 2 or as it is in warranty, schedule in-home warranty service.

Answer:
Since you are under warranty, I guess I would take advantage of it and if it is Yahoo, then the TV company can take it up with Yahoo (on your behalf). I say this because in the last 2 weeks, I've seen this question posted several times. Yahoo is always updating stuff and the widgets seems to be malfunctioning quite a bit. (This will be Yahoo's downfall if they do not fix it and soon) What is the point of offering these extras when they don't work!
