How to Set Up IPTV on an LG Smart TV

LG Smart TVs run webOS, and the most common setup path is installing Smart IPTV from the LG Content Store, then activating your subscription's M3U playlist through the app's companion website using your TV's displayed MAC address.

What you'll need

  • An LG Smart TV (webOS) connected to Wi-Fi or ethernet
  • Your subscription's M3U playlist link
  • A stable connection of at least 10Mbps

Setup Steps

Open the LG Content Store

From your LG Smart TV (running webOS), press the Home button and open the Content Store (formerly LG Store).

Search for Smart IPTV or an available IPTV app

Search the store for "Smart IPTV" โ€” app selection on webOS varies more than on Android-based devices, so availability depends on your TV's webOS version.

Install and open the app

Download the app and launch it once installed.

Activate with your subscription details

Smart IPTV typically requires activating your M3U playlist through a companion website using the app's displayed MAC address, rather than typing credentials directly on the TV.

Start watching

Once the channel list loads on the TV, select Live TV or the VOD section to begin streaming.

If Setup Isn't Working on webOS

Older LG models can have a more limited Content Store selection. Connecting a Firestick or Android TV box gives access to a wider range of apps if the built-in options don't work well โ€” see our Firestick setup guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is LG TV setup different from Samsung?

LG TVs run webOS rather than Tizen, and the Content Store has a different app catalog, so the specific IPTV app available and its activation method can differ slightly between LG and Samsung models.

What if my LG TV's Content Store doesn't have a working IPTV app?

Connecting an Amazon Firestick or Android TV box to an HDMI port on your LG TV gives access to a much wider range of IPTV apps than the built-in store offers.
