A:AnswerMy remote seems to work directly with the TV not the connect box. The TV has a motion sensor bottom center and i think thats where the remote ir connection is.
A:AnswerSure, you could have a woodworker cut a custom frame to size but the tricky part will be getting it securely attached to the TV. I would recommend purchasing one of the other color frames made by Samsung and have your wood worker glue your custom frame to the Samsung frame. This way your custom frame snaps nicely onto the TV
A:AnswerBuy Geek Squad service and all your troubles go away. They know what they are doing and they take the time to go over all the settings (and there is many choices you can make) You have many personalized choices, connection to the net, neat tricks they will show you. I love this 4K TV. Movies are super clear and with 240 refresh no blur at all. I could go on and on, I only say that Geek Squad is tops and worth every penny.
A:AnswerYou can hook up an external antenna or download any of the apps such as Netflix, Hulu and Amazon for your content . There are dozens of apps to choose from. It generally fits flush against the wall, except for maybe 1/32 of an inch.
A:AnswerIt's compatible with any HDMI source you have, Just plug that stuff into the connect box thingy (supplied with the TV).
It actually takes it a step further. I have ATT Uverse and instead of just changing the source to "HDMI 1" or something like that, it actually shows me "ATT Uverse" with a little logo and everything as an available video source next to Amazon, Netflix, etc. It's kinda cool to create your cable box as a video source just like digital content (since that's where it's all going anyways).
Oh, and the external connect box thing appears to be awesome. I have my TV above the fireplace, but the box in an entertainment center across the room so that I don't have to try to mount the stuff behind the TV or on the mantle. My only compliant is that the longer (optional) cable to connect the input box was something like $300. That's ridiculous, Samsung.
