How to Set Up IPTV Smarters on a Samsung or LG Smart TV
Set up Apollo Group TV directly on a Samsung Tizen or LG webOS television with no extra box required, using IPTV Smarters from the built-in app store.
Before you begin
- A Samsung television running Tizen, or an LG television running webOS, from roughly 2017 onward
- The television connected to the internet
- Your Apollo Group TV access details
Step-by-step setup
- 1
Open your television app store
On Samsung, press Home and open Apps. On LG, press Home and open the LG Content Store.
- 2
Install IPTV Smarters
Search the store for IPTV Smarters and install it. Note the device key or MAC address the app shows on first launch, because some television builds link a subscription using that rather than a username and password.
- 3
Link your subscription
Follow whichever method your activation email describes. That is either entering your details directly in IPTV Smarters, or registering the device key shown on screen. Both end in the same place.
- 4
Reload and start watching
Restart the app once your details are saved. The channel list and guide will populate, which takes a minute on the first load.
Tips for this device
- Wire the television to your router with ethernet if the socket is within reach. Built-in television Wi-Fi is often the weakest radio in the house.
- If IPTV Smarters is not available in your television store, a cheap Firestick or Android box will run it and will outperform the built-in apps anyway.
If something does not work
Most problems at this stage come down to a typo in the credentials or an interrupted first sync. Re-enter the details carefully, watching for capital letters and trailing spaces, then let the guide finish loading before touching anything.
If playback starts but stutters, work through the buffering diagnostic guide. If you are not sure whether your connection is fast enough, the speed guide has the numbers. Still stuck? Contact support with your device model and what the screen says.
