How do I remove Samsung TV Plus?
Samsung TV Plus is an integrated feature of your TV and it can't be
fully removed. However, if you remove all of the channels, Samsung TV
Plus will not appear on your TV anymore unless a new channel is added.
Periodically, new channels are added and you'll need to remove them if
you don't want Samsung TV Plus. You can also remove the Samsung TV Plus
app from your TV's Home screen. Simply highlight it, press Down,
and then select Remove > Remove.
Note: You can restore the TV Plus channels by performing a Smart
Hub reset. But this will sign you out of all of your apps, so you have
to make sure you have all of your login information and your TV's PIN
code (default is 0000). Navigate to Settings, and then select
Support. Select Self Diagnosis, and select
Smart Hub Reset to perform the reset.
How do I remove channels from Samsung TV Plus?
Samsung TV Plus offers a wide range of programming and just about anyone should be able to find something interesting. If you want to remove the channels that you don't watch, or you decide you don't want any of these channels at this time, you can remove all of the TV Plus channels.
Note: If you remove all of the channels, the TV Plus app will not play automatically until new channels are added. New channels are added to TV Plus occasionally, so if you don't want to see them, you'll have to repeat this process.
Press Home on your TV remote, navigate to TV Plus, hover over the app, select Channel List, then select Edit Channels.
Select channels to mark them with a check, and then select Delete to remove the channels from your TV Plus Channel list. If you select the box next to All Channels, all channels are selected at once.
