Retailers selling Samsung plasma and LCD TVs have been requested to stop selling the new flagship M8 and R8 series LCDs and its Q9 series plasma TV following the discovery of a digital tuner problem in some TVs. Less than 10 complaints have been received by Samsung.
In a statement issued to retailers Samsung said, "Since the launch of Samsung's new line of LCDs and plasma televisions, Samsung has identified a tuning fault with a limited number of its M8 and R8 series LCDs and Q9 plasma televisions, and is working to resolve the issue shortly."
"Not all units are affected and there are no safety issues involved.
"The fault has occurred in the tuning of digital free-to-air television channels, resulting in the tuner dropping out intermittently. The analogue tuner is not affected and consumers can still watch free-to-air television using their analogue tuner.
