Recently, I have often met complaints from Samsung TV users about Samsung TV Plus. At first glance, it seems that why would people turn off the free streaming service Samsung TV Plus. But most users have almost the same problem. Samsung TV Plus often automatically starts up on the TV, thereby interfering with the viewing experience. Samsung TV gives it as a recommendation, but obviously, most users may be dissatisfied.

In fact, Samsung TVs are among the best in their price segment, as they give their users high quality. The Tizen Smart TV system is one of the most user-friendly among the major manufacturers. But even if, for some reason, you are not satisfied with the work of Samsung TV Plus, you can turn it off in order to enjoy the quality of the Samsung TV.

What is Samsung TV Plus?

Samsung TV Plus is an entertainment service developed by Samsung. This service is installed in the manufacturer’s smart TVs. Samsung TV Plus is free, you do not need any registration, so you do not need to create an account or enter your banking information.

Initially, Samsung made this type of service that will allow users to watch quality video content for free, like other streaming services. But the company was making money from watching ads. That is, the video is interrupted by a commercial. Since this service is free, you can’t subscribe to watch without ads. This is a big disadvantage for many people.

The main function of Samsung TV Plus is the Internet, TV, and online broadcasting of regular channels. It’s not really a streaming service like Netflix, for example, it’s more like YouTube TV.

Samsung TV Plus is only available on Samsung TVs. These are Samsung Smart TVs with Tizen or Chromecast operating systems and Samsung Galaxy smartphones or tablets. The app is not available on TV set-top boxes.

What to do to disable Samsung TV Plus via the service menu?

In addition to the uncomplicated first method, you can follow another. The method I described above is not the only way to disable the Samsung TV Plus app. You can do it through the service menu.

This method is also not complicated, but you need to be careful what you do to avoid damaging your TV. Because you will interact with the service menu, which is primarily a tool for developers. So in order to disable Samsung TV Plus via the service menu, you need to follow these steps:

• The first step is to turn off Samsung TV.
• After that, turn it on and quickly press a key combination to go to the Service Menu.
• You need to press the (INFO), (MENU), (MUTE), and (POWER) keys.
• Next, select the Options Menu item in the service menu.
• The next step is to go to the Engineer Options section.
• Then find the item TV Plus Support in the list and disable it.
• After that, you need to turn off the TV to exit the service menu.

This method is different in that you need to perform some actions after the steps because the Samsung TV will not work immediately after switching it on. You will need to enter the service menu to turn it on again.
