Samsung Smart TV (Tizen OS)

All Samsung Smart TVs running Tizen OS

⚠️ Note: Samsung Tizen OS does not support TiViMate natively. The options below use apps available in the Samsung app store, or an external device.

Option A — Smart IPTV (Recommended for Samsung)

  1. 1 On your Samsung TV, open Smart Hub → Apps → search "Smart IPTV".
  2. 2 Install the app, then open it.
  3. 3 Note the MAC address shown on the screen.
  4. 4 On your phone or computer, go to siptv.eu, enter your MAC address, and add your M3U URL.
  5. 5 Restart the Smart IPTV app on your TV — your channels will load automatically.

Option B — Use an External Stick (Better Experience)

Plug in an Amazon Fire Stick or Chromecast with Google TV into your TV's HDMI port — then install TiViMate for a far superior experience. This is the recommended upgrade path if the Samsung native app feels limiting. See the Fire Stick setup guide or Android TV section above.

LG Smart TV (webOS)

All LG Smart TVs running webOS

⚠️ Note: LG webOS uses a separate app store. Samsung/LG native apps require MAC address activation on a phone or computer — this is completely normal and expected.

Option A — SS IPTV or Smart IPTV (Recommended for LG)

  1. 1 On your LG TV, open the LG Content Store and search "SS IPTV" or "Smart IPTV".
  2. 2 Install the app, then open it.
  3. 3 Note the MAC address shown on the screen.
  4. 4 On your phone or computer, go to ssiptv.app, enter your MAC address, and add your M3U URL.
  5. 5 Restart the app on your TV — your channels will load.

Option B — Use an External Stick (Better Experience)

Plug in an Amazon Fire Stick or Chromecast with Google TV into your TV's HDMI port — then install TiViMate for a far superior experience. This is the recommended upgrade path if the LG native app is frustrating. See the Fire Stick setup guide or Android TV section above.
💡

The Upgrade Recommendation

For the best Smart TV experience, plug an Amazon Fire Stick ($30) or Chromecast with Google TV ($50) into your TV's HDMI port. Both run Android TV, both support TiViMate natively, and both give you a far better experience than any built-in Samsung or LG app — faster channel switching, full EPG guide, and multi-screen picture-in-picture.
