IPTV Smarters Pro isn't just a Firestick app — it also runs natively on Samsung and LG Smart TVs, which matters if you'd rather not plug in an extra streaming stick at all. The install differs from the Firestick version since it goes through each brand's own app store, and the remote-based navigation changes a few things about how you'll use it day to day.

What is IPTV Smarters Pro?
IPTV Smarters Pro is a free IPTV player app available on Android-based devices, iOS, and select Smart TV platforms including Samsung and LG. It loads a playlist (M3U or Xtream Codes) from any IPTV provider and displays Live TV, Movies, and Series in separate tabs, with catch-up support on channels where the provider offers it. It's a viewer app, not a content source.
Installing on Samsung Smart TVs
Press the Home button on the Samsung remote
Navigate to Apps and open the search function
Type "IPTV Smarters Pro" and select it from the results
Select Install, then open it once installed
IPTV Smarters Pro is officially listed in the Samsung app store on most Tizen-based models, so no sideloading is required.
Installing on LG Smart TVs
Press Home on the LG remote to open the launcher
Open the LG Content Store
Search for "IPTV Smarters Pro"
Select Install, then launch it from the home screen
Like Samsung, LG lists the app directly in its store for webOS-based TVs.

The login screen is identical to the mobile and Firestick versions, just navigated with a remote instead of touch:
Login with Xtream Codes API — enter a profile name, then your provider's server URL, username, and password using the on-screen keyboard
Load your own playlist / URL — paste an M3U link if that's the format your provider sent
Typing long URLs with a TV remote is slow — if your TV supports it, pair a Bluetooth keyboard for the initial setup to save time. Most providers, including Watchzio, send credentials by email right after signup. Need one to test with? Start a free 24-hour trial — no card required.
Getting catch-up TV and VOD working
Once the playlist loads, Live TV, Movies, and Series appear as separate sections automatically — there's no extra setup step. Catch-up shows as a rewind icon on individual channels where the provider supports it, letting you replay recent broadcasts instead of only watching live. If the EPG (needed for catch-up to work properly) looks empty, give it 10-15 minutes after first loading the playlist.
Navigating comfortably with a TV remote
The app's grid and menus are all remote-friendly by default, but a few habits make daily use smoother: use the number pad (if your remote has one) to jump directly to a channel number instead of scrolling, and check the app's settings for a "favorites" option to pin frequently watched channels near the top of the list.
Fixing common problems
App missing from the TV's store — check for a system software update on the TV first, since very old firmware occasionally drops app availability
Channels not loading — double-check the server URL for a missing "http://" or any typo, re-entering credentials from scratch if needed
Buffering — confirm your connection meets the minimum (10 Mbps for HD, 25+ Mbps for 4K); a wired Ethernet connection to the TV resolves most Wi-Fi-related buffering
App feels slow navigating the grid — some older Smart TV processors render large channel lists slowly; this is a hardware limitation more than a settings issue
The Bottom Line
Running IPTV Smarters Pro directly on a Samsung or LG Smart TV means one less device plugged into your HDMI port — the setup itself takes under five minutes through each brand's own store. Need a playlist to test it with? Grab a free 24-hour Watchzio trial with no credit card required, or compare plans on the subscription page.

Yes, it is listed directly in the Samsung app store on Tizen-based TVs and installs like any other app, no sideloading needed.
Does IPTV Smarters Pro work on LG Smart TVs?
Yes, it is available through the LG Content Store on webOS-based TVs.
Is IPTV Smarters Pro free on Smart TV?
Yes, it is free to download and use on Samsung and LG Smart TVs. It does not supply any content itself — you connect it to a playlist from an IPTV provider.
Can I use IPTV Smarters Pro with any IPTV provider on a Smart TV?
Yes. It works with any service that provides Xtream Codes credentials or an M3U playlist URL, including Watchzio, regardless of which platform the TV runs.
Why is catch-up TV not working in IPTV Smarters Pro?
Catch-up depends on your IPTV provider supporting it on a given channel and the EPG being fully loaded. If the EPG was just added, wait 10-15 minutes before assuming catch-up is broken.
