−	Please keep this page '''"simple as possible" and "modularized"''', means, do not put information if it's not really required and do not try to explain other article pages, just give a link to that article ( like Samba Mounting, firmware patcher etc...) Here needed to be just elementary information.

-I think we have a problem here in SamyGO. Older members tend to know a lot about embedded systems and their operating systems, but some newbies don't seem to know how to execute basic programs...
+This wiki entry is meant to help the beginner TV hacker to get a quick and up-to-date introduction of SamyGO.
-I think we needed to create a wiki page '''"SamyGO for DUMMIES"''' and divert all newbies to that article before starting.
+As SamyGO is maintained by happy members of the open community, we have a slight problem with a constant shower of support questions. The answers given to those questions range from none, to rude, to extremely technical. This not something we can control, but you can optimize your response by reading and searching thoroughly before posting to our forums. Most info can be found through google with samygo as target site.
-The article might mention about how you could execute programs on a TV or copy them to internal TV memory etc. Easy things, which we don't feel the need to talk a lot about.

 Samsung has implemented increasing encryption with each series of televisions it releases. Earlier models had no firmware encryption, subsequent firmware releases have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher XOR] cipher encryption and the latest firmware releases utilize both AES and XOR encryption.  This encryption limits how much editing of a firmware can be done despite the fact that the software Samsung uses is opensource and [http://opensource.samsung.com publicly available] per GNU and GPL licensing terms. Knowing the type of firmware utilized is important because it determines what kind of access you can obtain in your television's operating system. There are two types of firmwares based on access, CI and CI+ devices.
-A television from the C or ES series is always a CI+ device. The B series models have two possibilities: If there is a P in the last part of the model code, it is most likely a CI+ device. The firmware version installed on these TV's has the letters "CIP" in the firmware version code, otherwise it is probably a CI device. An "A" series device do not have encryption. Also, do not be fooled by your TV's CAM interface. A TV can be CI+, but the CI+ CAM interface is backward compatible with CI CAM mode, so your TV may report that it is using a CI CAM, although the TV hardware is CI+.

 To control any Linux-based system, you need root access to it (Administrator privileges in Windows). Depending on the type of TV and version of the firmware, this can be achieved in a number of ways. In the compatibility tables you can find the methods that have been used successfully for each type (The list is not complete yet, work in progress).
 Depending on the firmware and television model  you may be able to do this with a simple software installation from a USB drive or you may need to install modified firmware or may need to revert to an older version of firmware that has not been restricted by Samsung.

+You can gain access to your televisions operating in several ways.Consult the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to determine which method you can use:
 # '''USB''': Loading software from the USB port by flash drive. Restricted firmware has disallowed access to the built in functionality. This is also how patched firmware is flashed. This is also how content library SamyGO apps can be executed. A variation of this method ia hotel@USB which is required for newer television models like the C series.
