Hi Together,
for my Samsung UE40ES6570, the SamsungTV binding works quite well, except switching channels. This has worked in previous openHAB2.5 but with my new setup (from scratch) on OH3.1, i cant switch the channel.
In the log, it mentions:
2021-11-14 22:25:14.579 [WARN ] [internal.service.MainTVServerService] - Samsung TV doesn't support transmitting for channel 'channel'
Setting the log level to TRACE, it gives the following ouput:

So it seems, as if this channel is ‘Read Only’. Is there anything i can do to enable switching channels?
Thanks in advance
