Samsung are selling the BD-J5900 (a 2015 device using the Opera TV Store) as having iPlayer "coming soon". When I spoke with a Samsung representative in an online chat she confirmed the ITV Hub would also be coming (although I have my doubts - even Samsung staff seem to get Smart Hub and Opera TV Store mixed up).
How about it Opera TV employees? Any news on UK catch-up services? All 4 and Demand 5 would also be good!
Hi - it definitely worked on my BD-J5900 - perhaps your model (BD-J5700 from the other thread?) is different. When you did the reset, did the player then go through the whole set-up (where it asks for your location and other things)?
I finally got around to contacting Samsung Support by email about this today and got the following response which worked for me:
In regards to your query about the BD-J5900, please try to reset it by press and holding the Open/Close button on the front panel of the player for more than 5 seconds with no disc inserted.

Same problem here on a Samsung BD-J5900 which I received less than a week ago. I set it up on Thursday night and the Opera store worked fine (but no iplayer or ITV hub or All 4 - so pretty poor - but at least iplayer is meant to be coming). But today after "Browser initialising, please wait..." for a second or two it then displays a picture of a TV with a line through it nd a message saying "We are sorry but your device is not supported (err:496)." Worse still if I then just press Exit on the remote the whole box freezes and the only way to get it back is to unplug it. The workaround appears to be to press Return before Exit - but I'm not sure if that's always the case. As for the amazon store - many times the box never gets past the initial loading g message and then I just have a black screen. But other times it does work.
I have a wired ethernet connection and the network settings are always good. I'm on the latest firmware. So it seems that this Opera TV Store and it's apps are flakes at best.
It would be nice to get a response from someone from Opera...
