Why can’t I find Discovery Plus on my TV?

Answered by Robert Dupre

There could be several reasons why you can’t find the Discovery+ app on your TV. One possibility is that your TV model is not compatible with the app. Discovery+ is designed to work with Samsung smart TV models from 2017 or later, which run on Samsung’s Tizen operating system. If your TV is older than 2017 or runs on a different operating system, it may not support the app.

To check the compatibility of your Samsung TV, you can visit Samsung’s website and look for the TV’s year and operating system version. This information can usually be found in the TV’s settings or on the manufacturer’s label on the back of the TV. If your TV is indeed compatible with Discovery+, you should be able to download and install the app from the Samsung Smart Hub or the app store on your TV.

Another reason why you may not be able to find the Discovery+ app on your TV could be that it is not available in your region or country. Discovery+ has different availability and licensing agreements in different regions, so it is possible that the app is not yet available in your area. In such cases, you may need to wait for the app to become available or consider alternative ways to access Discovery+ on your TV, such as using a streaming device or casting from a mobile device.

If you have confirmed that your TV is compatible with Discovery+ and the app is available in your region, but you still can’t find it on your TV, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try. First, make sure that your TV is connected to the internet and that the connection is stable. You can check the network settings on your TV and try restarting your router/modem to see if that resolves the issue.

If the internet connection is not the problem, you can try updating the firmware of your Samsung TV. Firmware updates often include bug fixes and improvements that can help resolve compatibility issues with apps. To update the firmware, you can go to the settings menu on your TV and look for the software update option. Follow the on-screen instructions to check for and install any available updates.

If none of these steps work, it may be worth reaching out to Samsung support or the support team of your TV manufacturer for further assistance. They may be able to provide specific troubleshooting steps or advice based on your TV model and situation.

If you can’t find the Discovery+ app on your TV, it may be due to compatibility issues, regional restrictions, or technical problems. Checking the compatibility of your TV model and operating system, ensuring a stable internet connection, and updating the firmware are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue. If all else fails, contacting the support team of your TV manufacturer can provide further guidance.
