Every so often my Samsung tv of last years vintage will come on and have no
alexa or streaming capabilities. No matter how many times you try, the only
way to reconnect is to pull out the mains plug for a minute or so, then plug
it in and switch it on. After a good deal of thinking about its navel, the
smart features then work. I'm almost ready to put in a network cable, since
its so close to the router that wifi signal strength should not be an issue,
even with interference from other local routers, I'd have thought.
I just wondered if anyone else had seen this.

I was going to say yes, but not very often. However I just turned on my Samsung
series 5 and looked under network status, which showed no IP addr, during the
time I've taken to write this, it has connected. If it's nearby you've got
nothing to lose by adding an ethernet cable.

No true, but I left this one on for about 15 mins and it had not connected.
Its more important for me, since I use Alexa to change channels and the
like. I've never tried the Bixby version, but people tell me its crappy. Of
course the default output voice most tvs have is rubbish. This one is an
Android voice called Pico.

I tend to use the narrow remote for it as it means I can go to bed with
wireless headphones and that remote and turn it off with it. Its radio not
infra red like the main one is.
