Re: Adverts on Music on Demand
 
I listen to music on demand less than before.
I've resorted to using a service Grooveshark, albeit there being no video involved.

I wouldn't mind if the ads were controlled in a way that it wouldn't deter users.
As someone had said, the idea of placing the ads on to channel 300 (aka the channel that appears in the mini-window on MOD), would be a great solution - however analystics may come in to this as there is no way of knowing whether the customer may have seen the ad or not, whereas when a video is watched, it is guaranteed to be seen.

I have an app on my Samsung Smart 3D blu ray called Muzu which is much better thanMusic OD , its free and not swamped with ads.

I have a Samsung 3D Bluray (minus the 3DTV unfortunately), I'm not sure if you need a specific model however as I know you need certain series.
I'm guessing it won't be under Internet@TV or Samsung Apps, or am I wrong?

Yes it was in Samsung apps , Internet@TV was the previous system on Samsung the new one is Smart however it could still be on Internet@TV.

Not when you can fast forward through the video and VM have said that they would never take that option away from customers.

Besides, I think you do take in what is going on in that window when searching. When I was using MOD I was fed up of hearing that bloke going on about the Royal Wedding and the extra long bank holiday. I wasn't deliberately listening, but still took in what was being played.

Mute is the key to solving that problem :p:

By the looks of it, as with most Samsung TV's or Blu-Ray players, you need to have a certain model to use features, even if they are theoretically capable in some way.
Had a look at the Samsung Apps, and can only see Picturebox other than YouTube and Dailymotion. No Muzu :(

Here's a list of Samsung devices Muzu is available on using Internet@tv. Make sure your players fully updated online as new services get added all the time

Unfortunately, the model is not a match to any on the list.
Ah well, back to "Tron Legacy: available now"
