★★☆☆☆
Mostly Useless for integration with Netflix and YouTube
Purchased from Amazon. Purchased as the result of Samsungs recommedation. If you want keyboard intergration into Netflix and You Tube, don't buy this product. You cannot use the Keyboard for entering text for search on most of Samsung apps such as You Tube and Netflix. I also own a Boxee unit that does allow keyboard typing in Netflix and You Tube. I had a long conversation with Samsung's support on the keyboard integration with the SmartHub on the UN60ES8000 TV. They could not suggest any reason to use the keyboard other than with the Web Browser. If I want to browse the web I use my laptop that is to the right of my recliner. That way I can watch TV and browse the web at the same time. Since the Keyboard does not intergrate with Netflix search, I tried an alternate approach by going to Netflix.com and signing in. I thought I could use the Netflix web approach for using the keyboard for search function. The search went well with keyboard overide for searching. Unfortunately Netflix does not recognize the Samsung TV as an acceptable display device and will simply bring up the requirements to use Netflix on line. The Boxee us is full function compared to the Samsung Netflix application. The down side of Boxee is that it does not support Amazon video/movies. Boxee told me that Amazon refuses to provide a way to work with Boxee. They need app data from Amazon.
