Got a Samsung or LG Smart TV and want to start watching IPTV? You’re in the right place. Installing IPTV on your Smart TV is one of the easiest ways to access thousands of live channels, movies, and series directly on the big screen — without needing any extra devices. In this guide, we’ll walk you through every step of setting up IPTV Smarters Pro on both Samsung and LG Smart TVs, cover the best alternative apps in case Smarters isn’t available for your model, and help you troubleshoot any issues along the way.
What You’ll Need Before You Start
Before diving into the installation, make sure you have everything ready. This will make the entire setup process smooth and quick — most people are streaming within 5 minutes.
An active IPTV subscription — you’ll need your login credentials: a server URL, username, and password. When you purchase an IPTV Smarters Pro subscription from us, these details are sent to your email within 5 minutes. If you don’t have a subscription yet, check our pricing plans or order on WhatsApp.
A stable internet connection — minimum 10 Mbps for HD streaming, 25 Mbps for 4K. A wired Ethernet connection is always better than Wi-Fi for consistent performance, especially during live sports.
A compatible Samsung or LG Smart TV — Samsung Tizen models from 2017 onwards and LG webOS models from 2018 onwards support IPTV apps. Don’t know your model year? Check Settings → About This TV on your remote.
How to Install IPTV Smarters Pro on Samsung Smart TV
Samsung Smart TVs run on the Tizen operating system and have their own app store called the Smart Hub. Here’s how to install IPTV Smarters Pro step by step:
Step 1: Open the Smart Hub
Press the Home button on your Samsung remote. This opens the Smart Hub — Samsung’s main menu where all your apps and settings live. Navigate to the Apps section.
Step 2: Search for IPTV Smarters Pro
In the Apps section, use the Search icon (magnifying glass) and type “IPTV Smarters Pro”. The app should appear in the search results. If you see it, click on it and proceed to the next step.
Step 3: Install the App
Click Install and wait for the download to complete. This usually takes less than a minute depending on your internet speed. Once installed, the app will appear in your Apps list.
Step 4: Open and Log In
Launch IPTV Smarters Pro. You’ll be asked to accept the terms of use — scroll down and tap Accept. Then tap Add New User and select Login with Xtream Codes API. Enter the three pieces of information from your subscription: your server URL, username, and password. Tap Add User.
Step 5: Start Watching
The app will load your channel list and EPG (electronic programme guide). You’ll see categories for Live TV, Movies, and Series. Browse through your 20,000+ channels, find what you want to watch, and enjoy IPTV on your Samsung Smart TV!
Can’t find IPTV Smarters Pro in the Samsung App Store? This can happen depending on your region. Try changing your TV’s country/region to United Kingdom or Ireland in Settings → General → System Manager → Country. Restart your TV and search again. If it still doesn’t appear, scroll down to our alternative apps section for other options.
How to Install IPTV Smarters Pro on LG Smart TV
LG Smart TVs run on the webOS operating system and use the LG Content Store for apps. The installation process is very similar to Samsung. Here’s the full guide:
Step 1: Open the LG Content Store
Press the Home button on your LG remote. Navigate to the LG Content Store — this is LG’s app marketplace where you can browse and download applications.
Step 2: Search for IPTV Smarters Pro
Use the search function and type “IPTV Smarters Pro”. If the app appears, select it. If IPTV Smarters Pro isn’t available in the LG Content Store in your region, search for “IBO Player” or “Smart IPTV” instead — both are excellent alternatives that work perfectly with our IPTV service.
Step 3: Install and Open
Press Install, wait for the download to finish, then open the app. Accept the terms of use when prompted.
Step 4: Enter Your Credentials
Choose Login with Xtream Codes API, enter your server URL, username, and password, and tap Add User. Your live channels, movies, and series library will load automatically within seconds.
Step 5: Enjoy Your Channels
Navigate through your channel categories using the LG remote. The EPG will show you what’s currently playing and what’s coming up next on every channel. You now have full IPTV access on your LG Smart TV — no extra devices needed!
Best Alternative IPTV Apps for Samsung & LG Smart TVs
IPTV Smarters Pro is our top recommendation, but it isn’t always available in every region or on every TV model. The good news is that our IPTV subscription works with several excellent alternative apps. Here are the best options for Samsung and LG Smart TVs:
IBO Player
IBO Player is one of the best alternatives for Smart TVs, and it’s available on both Samsung and LG. What makes IBO Player special is its device-code activation system — instead of typing long credentials with your TV remote, you simply send us the code displayed on your screen and we activate your subscription remotely. It’s the easiest setup method for people who find typing on a TV remote frustrating. Search for “IBO Player” in your TV’s app store, install it, and send us your device code on WhatsApp.
Smart IPTV (SIPTV)
Smart IPTV is a lightweight, no-fuss IPTV player that’s been popular on Samsung and LG TVs for years. It uses an M3U playlist URL system — you upload your playlist via the SIPTV website using your TV’s MAC address, and your channels appear on your TV. It’s simple, reliable, and works well for viewers who just want live channels without extra features. Note that Smart IPTV requires a one-time activation fee of approximately €5.49.
SS IPTV
SS IPTV is a free alternative available on LG Smart TVs through the LG Content Store. It supports both M3U playlists and Xtream Codes API. Setup involves entering a device ID on the SS IPTV website and linking your playlist — a solid free choice for LG owners.
SmartOne IPTV
SmartOne IPTV uses MAC-based activation like IBO Player. Install it, note the MAC address on screen, send it to us via WhatsApp, and we’ll activate your subscription remotely.
When to Use a Firestick Instead
If your TV is an older model (pre-2017 Samsung or pre-2018 LG) that doesn’t support any IPTV apps, plug an Amazon Firestick into your HDMI port. It gives you full IPTV Smarters Pro access with better performance. See our Firestick installation guide for details.
Xtream Codes vs M3U: Which Login Method to Use?
Xtream Codes API (Recommended) — enter a server URL, username, and password. This gives you the full experience: live TV, VOD, series sections, and an integrated EPG. It’s the most reliable method and the one we recommend for all IPTV Smarters Pro users.
M3U Playlist URL — a single web link containing your channel playlist. Some apps like Smart IPTV and SS IPTV use this method. M3U works well for live channels, but may not include VOD content or EPG data. Use it only if Xtream Codes isn’t supported by your chosen app.
Troubleshooting Common Smart TV IPTV Issues
Running into a problem? Here are quick fixes for the most common issues.
App Not Found in the Store
Try changing your TV’s region to the UK or Ireland. On Samsung: Settings → General → System Manager → Country. On LG: Settings → Option → Country. Restart and search again. If it still doesn’t appear, use IBO Player instead.
Login Failed or “Unable to Connect”
Double-check your server URL, username, and password — they are case-sensitive. Make sure there are no extra spaces. If you’ve recently renewed, wait 5 minutes for the system to update, then try again.
Channels Buffering
Switch from Wi-Fi to a wired Ethernet connection if possible. Close other apps running on your TV. If using Wi-Fi, move your router closer or use a Wi-Fi extender.
EPG (TV Guide) Not Showing
Go to Settings → EPG in the app and tap Refresh EPG. Give it a minute to load. With Xtream Codes login, the EPG populates automatically.
Black Screen on Certain Channels
Switch between internal and external player in the app settings, or toggle hardware/software decoding. If only specific channels are affected, it may be a temporary server issue — contact us on WhatsApp for immediate help.
Tips for the Best IPTV Experience on Your Smart TV
Use Ethernet over Wi-Fi whenever possible. A wired connection provides consistent speed without interference, especially important for 4K streaming during live sports.
Keep your TV’s firmware updated via Settings → Support → Software Update. Updates often improve app compatibility and streaming performance.
Create a favourites list. With 20,000+ channels, scrolling through everything is impractical. Long-press a channel to add it to favourites for quick access to your most-watched Irish channels, sports, and movies.
