    I have a Samsung UN55F6300 SmartTv. (though its pretty stupid). I am able to connect my Logitech K400 keyboard, and most things work fine. However, the function keys don't really work correctly. They are not mapped correctly, volume up, down and mute are all in the wrong place. The skip/play/pause keys don't work either. In addition, the power button doesn't turn on/off the tv (not sure if its possible). The web key does not open the tv's browser (again not sure if its possible).

    Is there any way to reprogram the keyboard to control the TV? Anyone know how to get the TV's settings, so that I know what to set to what?

    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    I use my surface and android phone apps to control my TV and receiver. When I need to use my HTPC, I resort to a wireless mouse, and on screen keyboard. Check out some apps on the app stores.
