How to Set Up IPTV on LG Smart TV

Install Smart IPTV (SIPTV) or Smart STB on your LG TV using webOS app store.

Introduction

LG Smart TVs run webOS, which has its own app store. You can install IPTV apps directly — no sideloading required on newer models. This guide covers the best methods for LG TVs.

What You Need

  • LG Smart TV running webOS 3.0 or higher
  • Your TV's MAC address (we will find this in the guide)
  • Your StreamProTV credentials

Find Your LG TV MAC Address

You will need your TV's MAC address to activate the SIPTV app.

  1. Press Home on your remote
  2. Go to Settings (gear icon)
  3. Select All SettingsNetworkWi-Fi Connection (or Wired)
  4. Click Advanced Wi-Fi Settings
  5. Note the MAC Address shown — write it down

Method 1 – Smart IPTV (SIPTV)

Step 1: Install Smart IPTV

  1. Press Home on your LG remote
  2. Navigate to the LG Content Store (or just the Apps section)
  3. Search for Smart IPTV
  4. Click Install

Step 2: Activate and Load Channels

  1. Open Smart IPTV — it will show your TV's MAC address on screen
  2. On your computer/phone, go to siptv.eu
  3. Enter your TV's MAC address
  4. Paste your M3U URL from the welcome email
  5. Click Upload — channels will load on your TV
  6. Press the Reload button in the app or restart it

Note: The free version of Smart IPTV shows an ad every 3 hours. A one-time lifetime licence costs around £10 and removes all ads.

Method 2 – Smart STB

Smart STB is a free alternative that works well on LG TVs.

Step 1: Install Smart STB

  1. Search for Smart STB in the LG Content Store
  2. Install and open it
  3. Note your device's MAC address shown in the app

Step 2: Configure via Portal

  1. Visit smartstb.net/app on any browser
  2. Enter your device MAC address
  3. Add your M3U URL or Xtream Codes details
  4. Save the configuration
  5. On your TV, select your profile in Smart STB

Troubleshooting

  • Channels not loading: Make sure the M3U URL is entered correctly without spaces
  • App not in store: Older LG TVs may not have these apps. Use a Fire Stick or Android box instead
  • Buffering: Check your internet speed — IPTV needs at least 10 Mbps for HD
