SamyGO for DUMMIES

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... We thought that every one would know that, because of its relative simplicity. But we are wrong there. Also the Wiki pages are too overwhelming for some newbies.

I think we needed to create a wiki page `SamyGO for DUMMIES" and divert all newbies to that article before starting. 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.

So I created this page. Me and others will fill this area later on to show simple processes. Also put pictures about running steps of external applications from TV etc...

Is my TV CI or CI+ ?

CI TV's have a "model code" template that is different from CI+ ones. You can learn your "model code" from the sticker at the rear of your TV. (TODO: Picture here on right)

• After the "model number" like LE40B650 there is an extension part. If that part's second or third letter is 'P' then we could say that it's a CI+ device. If the third letter is a 'W' then it's most probably a CI device.
• Being CI or CI+ also affects your firmware model name and contents. CI+ firmwares have the letters "CIP" in their firmware names.

look at this example:

LE40B652T4WXXU device uses T-CHL7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
LE40B652T2PXXU device uses T-CHLCIPDEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI+ device.
UE40B7020WWXXC device uses T-CHU7DEUC firmware, which indicates it is a CI device.
TODO: Add some UN,UE and PS modal "codes" here.

You can also find your firmware name and version number in the Service Menu.
