Samsung TV Plus is the default streaming service available on Samsung Smart TVs and as a web application accessible by smartphones and PCs. With Samsung TV Plus, you can watch tens of exclusive TV channels completely free on your TV: no subscriptions, no fees! TV Plus will automatically play shows. That may be a good thing for a while, but it will start getting on your nerves soon enough.

Getting rid of Samsung TV Plus can be tricky, and there is also the question of whether you can get your TV Plus content back after you have disabled it once. Cheer up, though, because figuring out the best solution for your problem is what we are here to do.

Disable The Samsung TV Plus App

This method is easy but does not keep TV Plus at bay forever because it may return from time to time even after you have gone through the process. Here is how you’ll go about doing it:

  • Switch on the TV and press the Home button from the remote.Select the Samsung TV Plus app.Press the Down button on the remote. That will open a drop-down menu with two options: Move and Remove.Navigate to the Remove option and press Enter on the remote. A dialog box will appear.Now select Disable and press Enter.

Now you won’t have to deal with a random show popping up on your screen as soon as you turn on the TV. After this process, you can bring TV Plus back whenever you want. If you would like to learn more about Samsung, check out this article.

Delete Specific TV Plus Channels

If you want to delete individual TV Plus Channels from your Samsung TV, this is the way to go. This option is more effective for stopping Samsung TV Plus from annoying you every time you turn on the TV. 

Take these steps to delete TV Plus channels:

  • Turn on your Samsung TV.Press the Source button and select TV Plus. Now press the channel list button on the remote. If your remote does not have a channel list button, press the Home button and navigate to TV Plus. Select Channel List from the subsequent menu.Navigate to the top of the menu and press Edit Channels.Check the tick boxes for all TV channels (or some of them if you want).Navigate to Delete and press Enter.Depending on your model, you may be required to press OK to confirm the deletion.

These TV channels will disappear, but you can bring them back by resetting your Smart Hub if your TV allows for it. It is also possible (though improbable) for a future software update to restore these channels. If that happens, you can repeat the process to disable TV Plus.

Deactivate TV Plus From The Service Menu

If you have a Samsung Basic/Full remote instead of a Samsung Smart remote, you can open up the service menu and use a different method to turn off TV Plus. Be careful because the service menu has many technical settings you are not supposed to touch. Changing them may cause your TV to become defective and subsequently violate the product warranty.

Anyways, the process goes like this:

  • Turn the TV off.Enter the service mode combination for your TV. Most newer Samsung TVs require pressing (INFO), (MENU), (MUTE), and (POWER) in quick succession from the extended remote.

Now, let’s take a look at how to do so if this doesn’t work for you.
