How to get IPTV on Samsung TV and LG smart TVs

Can you watch IPTV on Samsung TV without a box?
Updated October 28, 2026 by Elmer Wenston
Yes. Samsung (Tizen), LG (webOS) and Hisense (VIDAA) TVs have player apps in their own stores. These players sign in with your TV’s device ID instead of a username and password, so you never type a long login with the remote.
Install the app, note the device ID it shows, and send it to us: we activate it, usually within minutes. If your TV is older than about 2018 or the app is missing from its store, a plug-in stick is the simpler route. Samsung explains how to update a TV’s software on its support site.
Most people pick IBO Player Pro on a smart TV. On an older TV, a Fire TV Stick is the simplest fix, and a 4K TV needs a few extra checks.

Common questions
Quick fixes for the problems people hit most.
Video keeps buffering
Check your internet speed: 4K needs a fast, steady connection. Switch to FHD or HD on slower networks, or restart your router.
Channels won’t load
Check the server URL, username and password for typos. They are case-sensitive, so type them again carefully.
The app is frozen
Close the app and open it again. If it still freezes, restart the device, then open the app.
The app won’t activate
Email your device ID and key screenshot again and we will reactivate it straight away.
Is IPTV Smarters or TiviMate available on Samsung or LG TVs?
No. IBO Player Pro, ELK Player, Set IPTV and Hot Player are, and they all work with your subscription.
Do I pay for the app?
Smart TV players have a free trial, then a small fee paid to their developer once per TV. It is separate from your BestIPTVforUSA plan.
My TV’s store does not have the app. What can I do?
Check for a TV software update first. If it is still missing, plug in a Fire TV or Google TV stick and follow that guide.
Does it work on Hisense TVs?
Hisense TVs running VIDAA use Hot Player from the VIDAA App Store. Hisense TVs running Google TV follow the Android TV guide.
The picture is fine but the guide is empty.
Give it a few minutes after activation, then refresh the EPG in the app’s settings.
