IPTV on Smart TV
Install IPTV directly on Samsung, LG, and Android TV-based Smart TVs — no extra box required.
What you'll need
A Smart TV connected to Wi-Fi or ethernet
Your IPTV Portal account credentials
Access to your TV's built-in app store
Recommended setup approach
App availability varies by TV brand. Android TV-based sets use the Google Play Store, giving the widest app selection; Samsung (Tizen) and LG (webOS) have their own, more limited stores. If your TV's store doesn't carry a suitable app, an external streaming device is the simplest fallback.

Common issues
