The reason for this basically is that I have to use the Cable boxs remote and whenever I press the button to change the source, the tv cycles through the available sources and the 'TV' source always shows static. Thanks in advance.

So silly of me to not put the model # of my tv. It is the LN40A650 model with the 2007 firmware. Thanks.

K0301R,
Unfortunately, there's no way to disable the tuners for the television as an unused source. Several posts in the past few months have raised the same complaint, and I have forwarded this to our engineers. But at this time, I don't believe the television menus will be equipped to do that, even if we tried. It's an integrated part of the television and a source that is available.
Hope that helps at least explains!

Is there a way to remove a source that the television thinks is active even though it isn't? I originally connected my TiVo via Component 1 but then switched it to HDMI. The TV still shows Component 1 as active and places it on the top portion of sources where the other active sources are.
I can delete the name, but I actually want to mark the Component 1 source as being inactive and have it placed in the bottom portion of the source list.

I believe the only way to make an input inactive once you've hooked up a peripheral is to reset the television per the owner's manual. However, you will have to reset your channels and picture/audio settings as well.
Keep me posted.

I reset the television (holding down the Exit button for about 30 seconds) but the Component 1 source is still showing as an active source even though nothing is plugged into it.
Any other ideas?
Is it possible that the Component 1 source is just like the TV source? Meaning that it will always show up as active even if it's not?

You got me there. I'm going to check on Monday to see what kind of answer I can drum up from our TV experts.
At first you asked about the tuner, which I do know is not something we can make inactive regardless of reset or otherwise.
But you're saying - just so I have this correctly - is that you formerly had a peripheral hooked to Component 1, have since removed it, and it still shows as active, yes? And the Component 2 doesn't show up and hasn't had anything hooked to it?
Let me know and I'll see what I can find.

That's correct. I used to have something hooked up to Component 1 but no longer do. I never connected anything to Component 2.
Component 1 shows active still and Component 2 shows inactive.
Thanks for your help!

I'm glad to see this question, as I'm having the same problem with my Samsung LCD. I hope you're able to come up with a solution, as it's been very frustrating.

Have you disconnected all unused cables from the TV?? I think I had the same problem with mine, but realized I just disconnected the source and left the cables back there, once I removed them from the TV I think that resolved the problem...
As for the TV thing.... keep on them engineers Mr. Samsung.... I agree it is very annoying... maybe Samsung could program in a setting to disable the tuner, so that it comes automatically on, but the finicky owners like us could bypass it....

I have the same problem on a PN50B860 with the PC Source... and it has been there from the beginning. I have plugged and unplugged other scources and they move to the bottom gray-out area but PC is and has always been active

When I turn on my Samsung Blue-Ray DVD the system automatically connects but when I finish, it always returns to the Antenna input but there is nothing connected. My Satellite connects to HDMI#1. How can I get the system to recognise the HDMI port as my primary?

I totally agree, I want SKY HDMI to be default source, I don't use TV Aerial - dont need to because I have SKY.
Come on Samsung, let us disable connections (including TV Aerial) that we don't use, so we only have to switch between the connected HDMI sources.

steveuk71,
None of the inputs can be disabled - the TV tuner and PC inputs are 'always on' connections. Unfortunately, I don't have a solution to implement to disable those options. I'll be happy to pass that information up, but I can't provide a solution on this. They're operating as they were designed to operate.

If there's no possibility to disable sources it should be possible to edit the list and modifiy the orders of the sources.
When I move from TV to HDMI1 or HDMI2, I always need to scan the list through Ext1, Ext2, AV, PC to reach the HDMIs sources.
Samsung should deliver a new firmware allowing us to change the order of the list.
This will help a lot.

I have the same problems described above on my Samsung DLP TV. Use to have something connected to Component 1 and now I can't disable that input. I also have no need for the tuner input and want to disable that. This is really basic functionality and I'm surprised Samsung has done nothing to fix it!
I just purchased a UN55D8000 and I have this same problem. It's extremely frustrating that a $3500 MSRP "Smart TV" is not "Smart". Every time I power down my PS3 is always changes back to COAX. This is even through a receiver, it should stay on the HDMI input of the AV Receiver all the time. Extremely frustrating considering I thought I was buying a top of the line TV. I guess I should I have looked a little harder at the Sharp and Sony Bravia in terms of ease of use.
