Key Takeaways
- Smart IPTV (SIPTV) is a Samsung and LG Smart TV app that loads M3U playlists and XMLTV EPG directly on the television — no external device needed.
- Setup takes under 5 minutes: install SIPTV from Samsung Smart Hub or LG Content Store, enter your TV's MAC at siptv.eu, and upload your M3U URL.
- SIPTV costs a one-time $5.49 purchase after a 7-day evaluation — significantly less than a Firestick or Apple TV for TVs with good internal processors.
- Kemo IPTV's M3U URL loads directly into SIPTV — your channels and EPG are available within minutes of activation.
- Older Samsung and LG Smart TVs (2017 and earlier) may struggle with HEVC decoding — for 4K streams on older TVs, pair with a dedicated streaming device.
Samsung Tizen and LG webOS Smart TVs do not allow sideloading like a Firestick — but they do not need to. They have their own native IPTV apps, and the best of them is still Smart IPTV (often shortened to SIPTV). It is lightweight, stable, supports M3U URLs, and one-time activation per TV. This 2026 guide walks through the full install and configuration on both Samsung and LG, and explains exactly which IPTV subscription to pair with it.
What You Need Before You Start
- A Samsung Tizen TV from 2017 or newer, or an LG webOS 4.0+ TV (most 2018 and later models).
- Stable internet connection — Ethernet preferred, 5 GHz Wi-Fi otherwise.
- An active IPTV subscription with an M3U URL (Kemo IPTV provides one via WhatsApp on activation).
- A computer or phone to upload the M3U URL to siptv.eu.
- Around €5.49 for the one-time SIPTV activation (after the 7-day premium subscription).
Installing Smart IPTV on Samsung Tizen TVs
Open the Samsung Smart Hub
Press the Home button on your Samsung remote. The Smart Hub opens with apps along the bottom. Navigate to APPS.
Search for Smart IPTV
Select the magnifying-glass icon in the top right of the Apps screen and type Smart IPTV. Choose the official app (icon is a magenta and white triangle play symbol). If it does not appear in your region's store, install SS IPTV or Set IPTV — they work nearly identically.
Install and launch
Select Install, wait for the download to finish, and choose Open. On first launch the app displays your TV's MAC address and a message that no playlist is loaded. Write down the MAC address — you will need it for the next step.
Find your MAC address (alternate method)
If you missed the on-screen MAC, navigate to Settings → General → Network → Network Status → IP Settings. The MAC address appears as "Wireless MAC" (Wi-Fi) or "Wired MAC" (Ethernet). Use whichever connection your TV is actually using.
Installing Smart IPTV on LG webOS TVs
Open the LG Content Store
Press the Home (smart-home icon) button. Scroll along the launch bar to LG Content Store and open it.
Search and install Smart IPTV
Use the search icon and type Smart IPTV. Select the official app. Choose Install. If unavailable in your region, install Set IPTV instead.
Launch and note the MAC address
Open the app from the home bar. The first screen shows your TV's MAC address. If you missed it, navigate to Settings → General → About This TV → TV Information and read the network MAC of your active connection.
Upload Your M3U URL to siptv.eu (Both Samsung and LG)
Open siptv.eu/mylist on your phone or computer
Visit siptv.eu/mylist. This is the official portal for assigning a playlist to your TV.
Choose External Playlist
Select External Playlist. This option tells SIPTV to pull from a live URL — meaning every time your provider updates the channel list, your TV picks it up automatically without re-upload.
Enter MAC and M3U URL
Paste your TV's MAC address and the M3U URL your provider sent. For Kemo IPTV customers, the M3U URL arrives via WhatsApp within minutes of trial activation. Click Add Link.
Reload the app on your TV
Return to your TV, fully close the Smart IPTV app, and reopen it. The channel list populates in 30–90 seconds. Live TV, EPG, and category folders all appear.
Activating Smart IPTV After the premium subscription
You get 7 days of free use after first launch. To keep using SIPTV after that, you pay a one-time activation fee of around €5.49 per TV:
- Visit siptv.eu/activation on a phone or computer.
- Enter the same MAC address you used during setup.
- Pay the one-time fee (PayPal or card accepted).
- Activation is permanent and survives factory resets, firmware updates, and provider changes.
Optimize Picture and Audio Quality
Switch the player engine
In Smart IPTV go to Settings → Player. Test both Default and NW Player. NW Player handles HEVC 4K more efficiently on most Samsung Tizen and LG webOS models from 2020 onward.
Enable EPG and set the right timezone
Go to Settings → EPG and confirm EPG is enabled. Set the timezone to America/New_York (or your local US zone) so live programs show at the correct time.
Use Ethernet whenever possible
Both Samsung Tizen and LG webOS perform noticeably better on a wired Ethernet connection than Wi-Fi for 4K live streams. According to RTINGS device testing, Smart TV Wi-Fi radios are typically slower than streaming-box equivalents — wired is almost always a meaningful upgrade.
Common Issues & Fixes
Channels load but freeze or buffer
Switch to NW Player, restart the TV, and confirm your provider supports the resolutions you are requesting. If buffering only happens on live sports, the issue is provider server load — see our sports buffering troubleshooting guide.
EPG is missing or wrong
Force a manual EPG refresh in app Settings. If the timezone is wrong, programs will appear at the wrong slot — correct it under Settings → EPG → Timezone.
Playlist disappears after a few weeks
You likely uploaded the M3U as a "File" rather than "External Playlist". External Playlist always pulls live; File uploads expire. Re-upload via the External Playlist method.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Smart IPTV (SIPTV) still available on Samsung and LG in 2026?
Yes. Smart IPTV remains available on Samsung Tizen and LG webOS stores, though availability varies slightly by region and model year. On Samsung TVs from 2017 and newer it installs directly from the Smart Hub. On LG webOS 4.0 and newer it installs from the LG Content Store. If you cannot find it on a 2024–2026 model, alternatives like SS IPTV, Set IPTV, and IPTV Smarters work the same way.
How much does Smart IPTV cost on Samsung / LG?
The app itself is free to install. After a 7-day premium subscription, Smart IPTV requires a one-time activation fee (approximately €5.49) per TV — paid directly to siptv.eu using your TV's MAC address. The activation is permanent and survives factory resets. This fee is separate from your IPTV subscription (e.g., Kemo IPTV).
Where do I find my Samsung or LG TV's MAC address for activation?
Samsung: Settings → General → Network → Network Status → IP Settings — the MAC is shown as 'Wireless MAC' or 'Wired MAC'. LG webOS: Settings → General → About This TV → TV Information — look for the network MAC address. You only need the MAC of the connection you actually use (Wi-Fi or Ethernet, not both).
Why won't my channels load after uploading the M3U URL?
Three common causes. First, the M3U URL was uploaded to the wrong MAC address on siptv.eu. Second, your IPTV subscription expired or the provider revoked the URL. Third, the SIPTV server is caching an old playlist — wait 5–10 minutes and reload. If channels still fail, Kemo IPTV's 24/7 WhatsApp support reroutes your endpoint or issues a fresh M3U within minutes.
Can I use the same IPTV subscription on Samsung TV, Firestick, and phone?
Yes — Kemo IPTV allows simultaneous streaming across multiple devices on a single subscription. You can run Smart IPTV on a Samsung TV in the living room, IPTV Smarters Pro on a Firestick in the bedroom, and the app on your phone on the go — all at the same time, all using the same M3U URL or Xtream Codes login.
