Hi, The Apple TV simply connects with an HDMI cable. Therefore, it should be no problem plugging it into a Samsung or any other TV model for that matter as long as it has HDMI input. It is extremely difficult to plug it into the incorrect port on the back of the TV as the HDMI cable will only fit into the HDMI port on the TV.

I’d get one when I could afford it if that is the case. I do have a Talking TV (one of those Samsung talking TV’s) hence not getting an Apple TV. I would not want to connect it to my Samsung TV as I would not know what socket to put it in as if I went to the place where I bought it from (John Lewis) for all you UK subscribers, I don’t think they would let me plug in an Apple TV in to one of their Samsung models. Anyway the last time I went there to look at an Apple TV it was sealed and they would not unseal it for me to have a feel of.
