Question:

How does Samsung's 2010 Internet@TV work, and how do I create a Samsung account for my Blu-ray player?

Answer:

Samsung's 2010 version of Internet@TV allows users with selected devices (televisions, Blu-ray players, and home theater systems) to access Samsung Apps. This is the world's first TV-based application store where you can download and buy apps directly from your Samsung product

When you turn on Internet@TV, some apps will already be installed. There are 3 types of apps:

Free to use from Samsung and the app maker. Examples are AccuWeather, Pandora, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and more.

Free from Samsung, but you need to pay the app maker directly by making an account on their website and signing up for a monthly plan. Examples are Netflix, Vudu, and (on some models) Hulu. You get a code when you start these apps, which you use to link your Samsung device to the app maker's service.

Paid apps from Samsung that you only need to pay for once. Examples are games like Blackjack, Family Disc, Chuzzle, Dr Brain, Push Up Master, etc.

To use paid apps, you need to create a Samsung account for your Blu-ray player. With an account, you can:

Choose which apps show up on your screen. Some apps, like MLB, Facebook, Netflix, Vudu, and Pandora, can't be moved or removed.

Buy new apps directly from Samsung.
