As per title. I have a Samsung S90C, and was planning to bring it with me to Austrailia.

Anybody know if it works fine on their frequencies?

To close this out.

Just unboxed my S90C in Australia.

Did a full reset. Only country options are New Zealand and Samoa? (a smaller pacific island anyway).

Changing the "Smart hub" location was trivial. When the smart hub terms and conditions come up: Mute, vol up, channel up, mute. Long list of countries is provided.

 

 

 

Oddly it let me pick my Aust post code, and pick from a list of correct subregions.


Auto tune did not find any terrestrial channels (but the many streaming channels worked fine).


 

After a lot of stress, was able to manually tune the channels in my area (look up channel frequency list for appropriate tower online, go to manual turning (under export in broadcast I think). Spend 5 mins scrolling up to the right frequency, set the bandwidth to 7 MHZ, and repeat 6 times.

Frustrating that I couldn't select Austrailia at the start, but a good outcome.
