After that, it starts, actually, the process of setting up and installing the SMART Hub region. Remember that for all Samsung Smart TV K-series TVs brought from abroad, the scheme should be applied to the European IP address substitution.

For these purposes, a bunch of two programs is very well suited: and. The first change the real location on another country, and the second distributes such a "fake" Internet directly to the TV.

And here there is one nuance. Many users in the comments are written that when using such a scheme on a laptop, the IP address really changes, but there is no TV. And it happens that generally the network is not distributed on TV.

So who does this happen exactly that, we strongly recommend checking whether it is worth it in the "Internet to Share" column connectify programs Option "TunnelBear Adapter V9":

After that, we will be asked to choose a source of receiving TV channels. Here you can choose something or any item from the list of the list:

Well, here it is, a joyful event:

As you can see, unlocking SMART Hub`a Samsung Smart TV K-series has passed successfully. Similarly, you can also say about the change of the region. In general, we coped with the task.

Now a few words about one nuance. Not all models are bundle the push-button console. What to do in this case? The answer is really simple: leaving a neighbor or a friend who has a Samsung Smart TV TV. Moreover, the model and brand are completely unimportant.

That's all, friends, our story came up to completion. If some questions remained, ask them in the comments. So everyone is still looking at the next interesting video.
