How to Setup IPTV on Samsung & LG Smart TV (2026 Edition)

Unlock 8K streaming and 90,000+ channels on your Tizen or webOS TV using Apollo Group TV.

What You'll Learn

1. Samsung Smart TV IPTV Setup (Tizen OS)

Samsung TVs utilize the Tizen OS. Since 2024, Samsung has expanded its Content Store to include more "Player" applications compatible with Apollo Group TV.

Step 1 Press the Home button on your Samsung remote and navigate to Apps.

Step 2 Click the Search icon and type "IPTV Smarters" or "Nanomid". (Note: If Smarters isn't available, search for IBO Player or Set IPTV).

Step 3 Install the app and launch it. You will see a screen asking for Xtream Codes API or an M3U URL.

Step 4 Enter your Apollo IPTV credentials. Use the official server URL provided in your 2026 activation email.

⚡ 2026 PRO TIP: Many Samsung owners find that their TV's built-in processor struggles with large VOD libraries. If your Apollo TV app feels sluggish, we recommend clearing the "System Cache" in the Samsung Device Care settings.

2. LG Smart TV IPTV Setup (webOS)

LG's webOS is highly efficient but stricter with app region locks. Ensure your LG Content Store region is set to a supported country (USA, UK, or Canada).

Step 1 Launch the LG Content Store from your dashboard.

Step 2 Search for IPTV Smarters Pro or Bay IPTV.

Step 3 Click Install. Once opened, select "Login with Xtream Codes API."

Step 4 Enter your Apollo Group TV Login details. Ensure you type the server URL exactly, including the port number (e.g., :80 or :8080).
