Installation
Mom IPTV on Smart TV
On a Samsung or LG television, install the player from the TV's own store, then send us the device key it shows you — we link your subscription to it and the guide fills in. Ten minutes, and nothing to download.
Your apps on a Samsung or LG TV
These are the players built for a television. The store on each TV carries a different selection, so search the shorter name if the first one comes up empty.
| App | Search for | Login type | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IBO Player | IBO Player | Xtream Codes and M3U | Free trial, then a paid activation | The one most Samsung and LG owners start with |
| Smart IPTV (siptv) | Smart IPTV | Playlist, with a device key | One-off payment to the app maker | You send us the device key and we link your subscription |
| SS IPTV | SS IPTV | Playlist, with a device key | Free | The free version of the same idea |
| IPTV Smarters Pro | smarter pro - smarters player | M3U, JSON and Xtream Codes | Free | Only where your TV's app store actually carries it |
The player comparison has the full list for every device, and the setup guide covers the sign-in steps.
Samsung, step by step
- 1
Open the Samsung Apps
Press the Home button and choose Apps. The store is sometimes labelled Smart TV on older models.

Search for the app
Type the name from the table above — IBO Player orSmart IPTV are the two to try first. If nothing comes up, search just the first word: IBO or Smart.
- 3
Install it and open it
Choose Install, wait for it to finish, then Open. The app opens on a screen showing your device key.

Send us the device key
Write the key down and send it to us on WhatsApp with your order reference. We link your subscription to that key, and the guide fills in on the television.
- 5
Restart the app
Close the app completely and open it again. The channels and the guide appear after the playlist is fetched, which can take a minute the first time.
LG, step by step
- 1
Open the LG Content Store
Press the Home button, then the Apps icon at the bottom of the screen.

Search for the app
Use the search box at the top of the store and type the name from the table above. If nothing comes up, search just the first word.
- 3
Install it and open it
Choose Install or Get, wait, then open the app. It shows a device key on the first screen.
- 4
Send us the device key
Send the key to us on WhatsApp with your order reference. We link your subscription to that key and the guide loads on the television.

Restart the app
Close it and open it again. The first fetch of the playlist takes a minute; after that it starts straight away.
The device key, explained
You will meet this on both brands, and it stops people more than anything else.
A device key is a short code that identifies your television to the player's own server. It is not your login, and it is not a password for your subscription. You send it to us once, we link your subscription to it, and the television fills up with channels.
Two things follow from that. First, if you change television, you send us the new key and we link that one. Second, if you sell the television or give it away, tell us first and we will move the subscription — otherwise the new owner keeps your playlist.
If the app is not in your TV's store
The Samsung and LG stores carry a different selection of apps, and they change. If nothing in the table above comes up on your television, do not fight it: a Fire TV Stick or an Android TV box is the easier route, and both give you a full guide without a device key.
- Fire TV and Firestick — everything is in the Amazon Appstore.
- Android TV box — the Play Store carries all of them.
What does not work on a Samsung or LG
- TiviMate and GSE Smart IPTV. Neither is built for these televisions — use the apps in the table above.
- Three login boxes. A television with a device key takes the key instead of a server, a username and a password.
- Installing anything from outside the store. These televisions do not install files from a browser, and there is no setting to change.
- The mouse. There is no pointer. The remote's centre button selects, the back button goes back, and the app's own menu button is on the remote.
- Old models with heavy software. The TV itself can be the bottleneck. A streaming stick in the same TV often performs better than the TV's own player.
If it does not work: problem, cause, fix
| Problem | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| The search finds nothing | The store lists the app under a shorter name than the one you typed | Search the name in the table above, then try just the first word. |
| The app asks for a device key or a MAC address | The player identifies your television to its own server | Write it down and send it to us — we link your subscription to that key. |
| "Activation expired" or "key not found" | The key was changed, or the subscription was never linked to it | Send us the key again with your order reference and we link it again. |
| The guide is empty but the app works | The time zone does not match, or the playlist did not finish uploading | Set the time zone to your own local zone, then restart the app. |
| Picture but no sound | The TV's audio output is set to the wrong source | In the TV sound settings, try the other HDMI audio option, and check the TV is not muted. |
The troubleshooting page covers the problems that are not specific to the television, and theactivation page explains what happens between the payment and your first channel.
Setting up something else?
The same steps work on any device, but the app store and the settings are not the same.
