How to watch IPTV on a Samsung or LG smart TV
You can watch IPTV on most Samsung (Tizen) and LG (webOS) smart TVs with a player app from the TV’s own app store. Here is how to set up smart IPTV with no extra hardware.
Samsung and LG TVs cannot install Android apps such as TiviMate, but their app stores include IPTV player apps that work with your IPTV Plus Canada login. Some of these players are free; others charge a small one-time activation fee paid to the app’s developer. We tell you which player suits your TV model when you message us.
What you need
- A Samsung smart TV (2018 or newer) or LG smart TV running webOS
- An internet connection, ideally by ethernet cable
- Your IPTV Plus Canada login (or free trial)
Step 1: Install an IPTV player
- Press Home on your remote and open Apps (Samsung) or the LG Content Store.
- Search for the IPTV player we recommend for your model (for example IBO Player Pro or a similar player).
- Install and open it. The app shows a MAC address and sometimes a device key.
Step 2: Connect your subscription
- Send us the MAC address and device key shown on screen, or enter your login on the player’s website as the app instructs.
- We link your IPTV Plus Canada account to the player.
- Restart the app. Your channels, guide and movies load within a minute or two.
Troubleshooting
- Buffering: restart the device and router, then try an ethernet cable or move the router closer. Most buffering is Wi-Fi, not the service.
- “Login failed”: check the server URL includes
http://and the port, and that there are no spaces in the username or password. - Guide (EPG) is empty: open the app settings and update the EPG, then wait a few minutes for it to load.
- A channel will not play: try another channel. If several fail, message us; we monitor the servers around the clock.
- App is slow on an older TV: TV processors age quickly. A Fire TV Stick 4K plugged into the HDMI port is a cheap way to get a faster experience.

FAQ
Samsung & LG Smart TV IPTV: FAQ
Can I install IPTV Smarters or TiviMate on a Samsung TV?
No. Those apps are Android-only. Use a player from the Samsung or LG app store, or plug in a Fire TV Stick.
Why does the TV app charge an activation fee?
Some smart TV players are paid apps. The fee goes to the app developer, not to IPTV Plus Canada; we will suggest a free option where one works well on your model.
Does smart IPTV work on Sony, TCL or Hisense TVs?
Many of these run Google TV or Android TV, so follow our Android box guide instead.
