Samsung 48" 1080p LED Smart TV

The first flat screen TV I purchased 12 years ago, was a Samsung 42 inch standard definition Plasma display (great display still working). Since then I have owned a SONY Bravia and now a Samsung smart LED TV. Of the three sets, I am really happy with the UN32H5500 from Samsung. For the price, you get a whole lot of features in a smaller set that looks great. We purchased the 32 inch model for use in a bedroom, with plans to use it occasionally outside for hot tub viewing. Because I wanted to wall mount this set, I wanted the simplicity of having the DirecTV client inside the set, which is why I purchased this model. I used the VideoSecure ML531BE (purchased through Amazon) as the wall mount. This is a great little wall mount and came with hardware capable of supporting many different sets. I checked the wall mounting section of the Samsung manual to make sure I had the correct size attachment bolts (DO NOT use the spaces that come with the wall mount, they are not needed). I had the TV mounted to the wall in about an hour. I am pretty happy with the picture and sound quality of this TV. The on screen setup instructions were very clear and easy to use, with the exception of too many User agreements to view and acknowledge. And setting up user ids and passwords for my apps took a bit long due to the textual interface. But, the intuitiveness of the Smart TV option is MUCH better than my SONY Bravia. There are plenty of interfaces on back of this set, which due to the wall mounting I hope to never use. But I do appreciate having these options. What I do have is a single ethernet cable connect to the back for access to: 1. All my internet apps (Amazon, Netflix, HBOGO etc.) and smart hub gives me easy access to them. 2. My internal network and network storage for using DLNA to view my media files. 3. My DirecTV service. Yes it may be nice to have all of this wirelessly, but the DTV RVU is only supported via direct ethernet. But I have access to hundreds of hours or viewing through ONE single cable. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend Samsung products. For readers looking to use this set with DirectTV I am posting my experience getting the set activated below. Using 2014 Samsung RVU enabled set (model UN32H5500). First of all, I do not believe there is anyway to get this set activated as an RVU client without contacting DTV and paying the $6 equipment charge. But, my experience shows that the set can be activated without a DTV installer AND without a DECA box. When I first hooked up the set, I had it connected to an external mini client from DTV (not sure if this helped or not). After I connected my ethernet cable to the router in the basement, I could not access the Internal RVU in the source even though all internet apps were working fine. Two hours later, for know apparent reason, I could. I tried to add the Samsung as a client form the main Genie TV and got a message on the new TV to call DTV. I called during normal business hours as someone else suggested. The rep was very helpful and took all of the info like the TV mac address. We got to a point where I could see the channel info banner on the TV, but no picture. The rep thought that I may need to have the DECA installed, for which I already had an appointment schedule for the next day. Later that night, we had the set turned on using the mini client and there was some mild audio distortion. I checked all of the connections on the set and mini client and just for the heck of it, I tried the internal RVU as from the source menu. RVU now had picture and sound. I completely disconnected the mini client and every thing is working great on the internal RVU. No DECA installed. Direct ethernet from TV to router in basement that the Genie is connect to. Taking some time getting used to how to access all of the DTV functions form the Samsung remote, but everything else works great.
