What you'll need
Step-by-step instructions
- 1
Connect your Smart TV to the internet

Open the app store
On Samsung TVs, open the Smart Hub and navigate to Apps. On LG TVs, open the LG Content Store and navigate to the Apps section. Search for a compatible IPTV player application.

Install a compatible IPTV player
Search for IPTV player apps such as IPTV Smarters, Set IPTV, or other compatible players available on your TV's app store. Select the app and install it.

Enter your activation details
Open the installed IPTV player app on your Smart TV. Enter the server URL, username, and password from your activation email. Some apps may ask for an M3U playlist URL or Xtream Codes credentials.

Load the channel list
Save your configuration and wait for the app to load the channel list. Browse live channels, EPG, and on-demand sections using your TV remote.

Adjust streaming settings
Within the IPTV player app, check the settings for video quality, EPG refresh frequency, and default group. Adjust these based on your internet speed and viewing preferences.
You're ready to stream
Once your channel list loads, browse live channels, EPG, and on-demand content. If you experience buffering, check your internet speed and switch to a wired connection where possible.
