Smart IPTV: Live TV Directly on Your Smart TV
Smart IPTV means watching live television over the internet on the TV you already own โ no cable box, no satellite dish, no installer visit. Here is what it is, which sets support it, and how to start watching tonight.
What Is Smart IPTV?
IPTV stands for Internet Protocol television: channels and on-demand video streamed over your internet connection instead of arriving by cable, satellite or aerial. Smart IPTV is simply IPTV running on a smart TV โ the player app lives on the television itself, so there is nothing to plug in behind the screen.
The name stuck because of Simple Smart IPTV (often shortened to SS IPTV), one of the most popular free player apps in the Samsung and LG app stores. Our service carries the name for a reason: SSIPTV was built to work with Simple Smart IPTV on Samsung Tizen and LG WebOS sets, alongside our own SSIPTV app on Android, Android TV and Fire OS.
In day-to-day use it feels like normal television with far more range: a channel list with a full program guide (EPG), catch-up TV for shows you missed, and a movie and series library sitting next to the live channels. The only thing that changed is the source โ everything arrives through your broadband.
Will Smart IPTV Work on Your TV?
If your TV connects to the internet and has its own app store, the answer is almost certainly yes. This is how it breaks down by brand:
- โSamsung Smart TV (Tizen): install the free Simple Smart IPTV app from the Samsung app store, then paste in your M3U URL.
- โLG Smart TV (WebOS): install Simple Smart IPTV from the LG Content Store and load the same M3U URL.
- โAndroid TV, Nvidia Shield, Chromecast with Google TV: install the SSIPTV app and sign in with your credentials.
- โAmazon Fire TV and Firestick: install the SSIPTV app โ the walkthrough takes about 5 minutes.
- โAn older TV without apps: an inexpensive Firestick turns it into a smart TV that runs SSIPTV.
Full installation walkthroughs for every platform, with screenshots, live on the setup guide page.
