April 27, 2021PRESENTATION OF THE SMART IPTV APPLICATION
In order to enjoy IPTV subscriptions on Samsung, LG and other Smart TVs, it is usually necessary to use the Smart IPTV application. This application is also available on IPTV boxes from the Playstore. The installation method is different on IPTV boxes, but the activation of the subscription and the application remain the same.
Importantly, the application alone is not enough to get TV channels, you must also have a SMART IPTV subscription before following this tutorial. This smart iptv app just replaces the purchase of android box with SMART TV . If you don't have a subscription, you can read my article to find your iptv subscription. This application allows you to run the files/url known as "m3u playlist". Each IPTV provider and internet service provider has its own playlist. So you have to get your m3u from your provider. If needed, here is a site which proposes the playlists of the four French ISPs HERE and you can read my article on how to get an IPTV subscription.
Extremely important reminder
It is more than recommended to use a VPN for SMART IPTV application. And if you are lazy to read all my reviews about the different VPN providers, here is the one I mainly recommend: it's NordVPN. It is the best VPN and the most suitable especially as an IPTV VPN. It has the most servers, the speeds are top, the applications are super easy to use, and the company is based in Panama.
If you use an Android box, you just have to download the VPN application directly on the Playstore. Enter your login and that's it.
If you use a television for your IPTV subscriptionYou must install the VPN on your router to protect yourself. It is also for this last reason that it is easier to use an android box as a box, the VPN is installed in one click! Read my guide if you are a bit lost on how to use VPN for Smart TV. The installation is easy, just follow my instructions and the pictures of the tutorial. Don't neglect this step, it costs only a few tens of euro, is very simple to implement and can really save you trouble.
In summary:
- If you have an Android box or a TV running Android TV, then you don't need a router
- Otherwise, you need to buy a router to install the VPN on it
Now that your connection is secure with NordVPN and that you don't risk anything from organizations or hackers wishing to know your activity on the Internet, you can continue the tutorial!
