If anyone can tell me how to download the acorn tv app to my Samsung model tv?

I went to the app store on the tv and there is no avaliabale app it appears.

Also would like to download the Three Now app and its not on the app store on the Samsung either which I though was odd.

Appreciate any help someone can give.

Thanks

Yea TV3 seem to have dropped support for their app on Samsung TVs. I used to have the 3NOW app on my 8 year old Samsung TV but it mysteriously disappeared a couple of years ago, and I just blamed it on my aging TV. However when I bought my new Samsung TV a few months ago I searched for the 3NOW app and found that it's also not available on brand new Samsungs either.

You can use the Freeview On Demand app to watch some TV3 on demand content (currently around 205 TV3 titles on there), but other than that I think you are out of luck.

Other than watching TV3 the old fashioned way, your last resort might be something like the Dish TV SmartVu device, which does still have access to the 3NOW app.

Not sure about Acorn sorry - I've never used it. [EDIT: I did just search for Acorn on my new TV's app store and nothing came up]

Thanks for that.

I really enjoy British quality drama and liked the look of the Acorn line up of programmes.

Also surprises me that ThreeNow is not avaliable on Samsung Smart TV's as they are a big part of the market that they will miss out on.

I got last year a couple of Vodafone TV devices that I really like. Everything I basicaly wanted on one device... now that is finishing in September.

Not going to continue with SKY as its to expensive for what it is.

So at the mercy of the apps that are on Samsung... love the TV but more local apps and Acorn would be great for me.😁

Easy enough to get a Chromecast with Google TV. I don't bother with the apps on my smart TV now.
