Our C4 remote  (SR250) died a couple weeks ago and have been on the hunt for a used replacement. Upon purchasing one do I need to have a dealer come to me to physically program it to our system or is that something someone on here can do remotely?

i just went through this.  may not directly answer your questions, but some info below

 

- There are no connections on the back of the tv besides the one connect cable port.  it is proprietary to samsung.

- anything you want to connect to the tv needs to go through the one connect box

- on my tv (slightly different, but likely same setup) the power is also routed through the one connect box

- the one connect cable is not rated for in wall use 

- snapav has just released an in-wall backing box that is large enough to accomodate the one connect box called the versabox XL - this was announced literally days after i installed my box.  the previous versaboxes are not big enough to fit the oneconnect box, so i ended up having to cut a giant hole in the box to push half the one connect device behind the wall, a bit of a nightmare.

 

hope this helps, happy to answer any questions,  don't believe there is any way to get out of this, if i was in your situation, id install the larger versabox, store the one connect box directly behind the tv in the wallbox, and then keep my existing cable setup.

Ugh, sounds like a nightmare I don't want to get into. Thanks for the info!

Any recommendations for a 75" 4K quality TV without an outboard module in the $3-$4 range?

Just to clarify your question:

• When you say 'plug in the HDMI cable', you're saying you have a single HDMI cable coming from your rack to the TV's location?
• Do you also have power and network running to the TV location?
• Is it possible to pull a cable from the TV location to the rack? (i.e. is there a conduit from the rack to the TV location)
• Do you have only a single source to plug into the TV?  (is there a receiver in the rack, for example)

Correct there is singe HDMI run through the wall and comes out at the TV's location-Wall mounted

There is power at the TV location- but network does not go to TV

Good question about conduit, but if I remember correctly they just drilled through the studs & strung all the cables before drywall went up

I'm not an installer so can't say whether it's possible to safely pull a wire through the wall from the TV to the rack, but it looks like the invisible cable Samsung uses is incredibly fragile and cannot be kinked or put in a 90* angle. 

The rack has an amp, pre/pro, DVD, CD, VCR. iPod Dock & Cable box. the HDMI is the only cable that goes from the rack to the TV

Maybe these pics will help.

I was looking at the Samsung Q90R 75" QLED flat screen for my HT. I see it has this outboard station called the one connect box for all A/V connections. The one box would need to be near the Tv to allow me to plug in the HDMI cable, but all my other cables run through the walls to a rack system on the other side of the room where the C4 base resides. Any idea if simply plugging the HDMI cable intto the box, as with a normal flat screen connection, would allow the system to function as normal, or would the whole system need to be reconfigured to have all cables run through the Samsung box?
