How to Set Up IPTV on an LG Smart TV

Before You Start

LG Smart TVs run webOS, which supports IPTV player apps from the LG Content Store. You'll need your TV online (Ethernet is best), a phone or computer to add your playlist, and the login details we send to your WhatsApp.

1. Install IBO Player from the LG Content Store

   1. Press Home on your remote and open the LG Content Store (called Apps on newer models).
   2. Search for IBO Player and select Install.
   3. Open the app once installed.
   Smart IPTV is another long-standing option on LG TVs if you prefer it. The setup works the same way.

2. Note your MAC address and device key

   1. Find the MAC address and device key on the app's start screen.
   2. Take a photo so you can copy them accurately.

3. Add your playlist on the app's website

   1. On your phone or computer, open the app developer's official website (shown on the start screen) and go to the playlist page.
   2. Enter your MAC address and device key.
   3. Add a playlist with the Xtream details or the M3U link we sent you, name it "IPTV Éire" and save.

4. Restart the app and start watching

   1. Close the app completely and reopen it.
   2. Choose your IPTV Éire playlist to load your channels, films and series.

5. Load the TV guide (EPG)

   1. Give the guide a few minutes on first load, or use Refresh EPG in the app's settings.
   2. Check the time and time zone in Settings › General › System › Time & Date (menu names vary by model).

Tips for the Best Picture

• Go wired with an Ethernet cable for the most stable picture.
• Update webOS in Settings › Support › Software Update.
• Turn off Quick Start+ occasionally (or unplug the TV for a minute) to give it a full restart.
• 4K needs a 4K channel and 25 Mbps or more.
