Why this petition matters

Started by John Tan

THE MAIN ISSUE IS THAT SAMSUNG PROMISED US FOR  THE 2019 SOUNDBAR HAS eARC UPDATE, BUT IT HAS BEEN A YEAR, AND THER IS NO NEWS ABOUT IT. SAMSUNG BASICALLY DITCHED US

Many review websites mentioned the Q90R soundbar already benefited from the eARC firmware update during 2019, these websites include TechRadar, AVForum, DigitalTrends etc...

On Oct 30th Stephen Withers, who is the journalist behind most of these reviews mentioning eARC, informed us that finally, Samsung claimed this update happened in May 2019 but it was not true, he contacted them once again and confirmed this never happened but they were working on this update to be released in November 2019 for the full 2019 soundbars Q series + 2019 Q series for TV

On Nov 2nd, he then stated the update was expected for the "middle of the month", he was aware of the exact date but couldn't inform us due to confidentiality reasons.

- On Jan, he informed us he was actually in Korea now with Samsung's engineers and the update is undergoing compatibility testing before release. Unfortunately, a few minutes later he also added the update might be delayed to December (not sure) and also that finally the soundbar HW-Q60R will finally not be updated with eARC firmware.
