None of my apps on my Samsung Smart TV are working all of a sudden. I receive a network error message saying to check the player network connection. I changed the DNS settings as previously prescribed. to no avail.

I don't know why all of a sudden people are messing with the DNS, this should be automatic, set and forget. The only reason to mess with DNS is u trying to squeeze the last drop of latency issues for gaming purposes.
