I've got a Samsung UE43AU7100KXXU TV (yeah, snappy model name!).
It came with TWO different remotes (!?)
The menu system is almost like it's been designed to confuse the shit out of even the tech-savvy. The 'e-guide' accessible through 56 button presses appears to cover every model in the Samsung range with uber-lazy caveats peppered throughout of "may not apply depending on model or region".
This is the manual built into the TVs software... So they couldn't be bothered to specify which functions work and which don't on the actual TV you're reading it on.
The TV doesn't have any internal storage (that I've been able to establish anyway) and the "e-guide" says that recording and 'time-shifting' of TV broadcasts is possible if you attach an external USB drive. Although it does state that "it is recommended to use the USB hard disk that supports USB 2.0 or later and 5,400 rpm or higher. However RAID-type USB hard drives are not supported. USB memory sticks are not supported."
I've attached a 1TB USB 3.0 SSD and I can't even see if it's detected it anywhere. The manual is so bad, I don't even know where to look (I've already exhausted my logic and abandoned it as Samsung seem to be incapable of having any logical system at all)
Does anyone know if my model is even capable of recording / pausing live TV?

Easiest way to tell if you have recording is to press the pause button on the remote, which is usually in the bottom row. The recording is a bit rubbish compared to a set-top box though.
At least that is how previous Samsung TV’s have been for me.
Weird thing to moan about.
