How to Setup IPTV on Samsung & LG Smart TV (2025)
Don't buy a box. Watch directly on your TV.
Looking for the easiest way to setup IPTV on Smart TV models like Samsung or LG? You are in the right place.
Stop trying to find the “Downloader” app on your Samsung TV. It doesn’t exist.
Samsung (Tizen OS) and LG (WebOS) use different systems than Amazon Firesticks. This means you cannot just install any APK file you want. But don’t worry—you can still watch live Premier League and 4K Movies directly on your TV without buying an extra box.
In this guide, we will show you the 2 Best Apps to setup IPTV on Smart TV screens in the UK.
Method 1: The Best App (IBO Player)
If you want a lag-free experience that looks like Sky Q, we highly recommend IBO Player. It is available directly in the Samsung/LG App Store.
Turn on your Smart TV and press the Home button.
Go to the Apps icon (or Content Store on LG).
Search for “IBO Player”. (If you don’t see it, try “Bob Player” or “Nanomid”).
Install and Open the app.
You will see a Device ID and Key on the screen. Send these to our support team (or use the M3U link sent to your email).
Why we love it: It handles 4K streams perfectly and has a very modern TV guide (EPG)
Method 2: The Free Option (Smarters Pro)
Sometimes this app is hidden, but it is the most popular IPTV player in the world.
Go to your TV App Store.
Search for “IPTV Smarters Pro” or “Smarters Player”.
Install the app.
Open it and select “Login with Xtream Codes API”.

Problem: "My TV is Slow or Buffering"
Smart TV processors are often weaker than a dedicated Firestick 4K. If your menu feels slow or the stream stutters, it is likely your TV’s hardware, not the server.
The Solution: If your Samsung or LG TV is older than 2021, we strongly recommend buying a Fire TV Stick 4K. It plugs into the back of your TV and gives you a much faster processor for streaming 4K sports.
Need a Stable Subscription? Don’t waste time with free lines that freeze during the match. IPTGER is optimized for UK Smart TVs with Anti-Freeze Technology.
Troubleshooting: Cannot Setup IPTV on Smart TV?
If you followed the steps above but still cannot setup IPTV on Smart TV, it is likely due to one of two reasons:
ISP Blocking: UK providers like Virgin Media and Sky often block IPTV apps by default. You may need to log into your router settings and turn off “Web Safe” or “Shield” settings.
App Removal: Samsung sometimes removes apps like Smarters Pro from their UK store. If this happens, you have two choices: change your TV region settings to “USA” (which has more apps) or simply switch to using a Firestick, which is much easier to customize.
Ultimately, using a dedicated app like IBO Player is the best way to setup IPTV on Smart TV without extra wires, keeping your living room clean and cable-free.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I setup IPTV on Smart TV without a box? Yes. You can setup IPTV on Smart TV brands like Samsung and LG by downloading apps like IBO Player, Nanomid, or Smarters directly from the TV’s official app store.
Which app is best for Samsung TV? We recommend IBO Player or Nanomid. These apps are designed specifically for Tizen OS and handle large playlists (20,000+ channels) better than the older apps.
Do I need a VPN for Smart TV IPTV? If you use a premium service like IPTGER, you usually do not need a VPN. Our servers are secured. However, if your ISP (like Virgin Media) blocks IPTV, you may need to install a VPN app on your router, as Smart TVs cannot run VPNs directly
