Setting up IPTV on your Smart TV is a straightforward process. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started:
Step 1: Check Smart TV Compatibility
Before installing an IPTV app, ensure your Smart TV supports IPTV applications. Most modern TVs, such as Samsung, LG, and Android-based TVs, can run IPTV apps.

Step 3: Get an IPTV Subscription
To access IPTV channels, you need an M3U playlist URL or an Xtream Codes API from an IPTV service provider. Make sure to choose a reliable provider to ensure smooth streaming.

- Connect to a VPN if IPTV is restricted in your region.
Step 6: Start Watching IPTV
After setting up, your IPTV channels should now be available on your Smart TV. Browse through the channel list and enjoy your favorite content.
