HOW DO I ACTIVATE YOUR IPTV SUBSCRIPTION ON SMART IPTV (SIPTV)?

There are many IPTV apps that allow you to stream IPTV channels to a multitude of different devices. Some are paid, some are free, but not all apps are the same in terms of functionality. Some apps are only limited to a specific platform, making it difficult to stream IPTV channels to different devices because users have to use different apps on each device.

However, those of you who are looking for a solid IPTV player on a bunch of different smart TV platforms will be happy to hear that Smart IPTV, also known as SIPTV, is an interesting option. It is one of the oldest IPTV player apps available on different platforms.

What is Smart IPTV (SIPTV)?

Smart IPTV, known as SIPTV, is an IPTV player with EPG (Electronic Program Guide) which allows you to easily access the IPTV channels you want. However, as already mentioned on their official website, Smart IPTV does not contain any channels, so you will have to add your own through IPTV subscription. Some confused people assume that the app will be loaded with strings right out of the box, but that's not the case.

Those who want to enjoy the benefits of this app will have to add their own channels. But before you try to add channels to the app, you need to learn how to install SIPTV on your favorite devices as it takes a bit of work.

On some devices, installing this app is as easy as installing an app on your phone, but on other platforms it takes a bit more to get that app up and running. Also, not all platforms are supported, so you should keep in mind which devices are supported by Smart IPTV before you dive into it.

SIPTV is not only an Android app, but it is also available on a large number of smart TV platforms. On some platforms, however, you may not be able to find it on the official app stores, so you will need to download it from their official site.

At the time of writing, the devices supported by SIPTV are Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, LG Smart TV, Samsung Smart TV, and MAG. If you have one of these devices then you are in luck because you can use SIPTV without any problem.

How to configure SIPTV on Smart TV?

If you are looking to install SIPTV on Smart TV, you can do it easily. Remember that the configuration depends only on the type of Smart TV you have. If you have Samsung Smart TV with Tizen OS, you need to follow different steps to set up SIPTV while LG Smart TV with WebOS requires different installation steps. I will explain both to you.

How to configure SIPTV on Samsung Smart TV?

Unfortunately, Samsung has removed the SIPTV app from the official Samsung Apps Store for unknown reasons, but that doesn't mean you can't install it on your device. The steps are different for Tizen OS TVs and non-Tizen OS TVs.

Tizen OS

If you have a Samsung Tizen OS TV, you need to install it via an external USB stick. Just download and extract the Zipped Tizen Widget directory   from their official website to the root of the USB drive. Insert the USB drive into your Samsung TV and the app will automatically appear in the “My Apps” section of the TV. Make sure the contents of the zip file are extracted to the root of the USB drive. Once you've done that, you can remove the USB drive and the app will still be on your TV.

Non-Tizen OS

If you have a Samsung TV that does not work on Tizen OS, you will need to download another file. First of all, download the Orsay Widget file   to the root of an external USB drive and insert the USB drive into your TV. The SIPTV app will appear in the Samsung Apps section of your TV. Once the app is available on the TV, you can safely remove the USB stick from the TV.

How to configure SIPTV on LG Smart TV?

Fortunately, LG's official app store still offers the SIPTV app for download. So you just need to go to the official LG Apps Store and search for the SIPTV app in the Entertainment category. It only takes one click to download and install the app on your LG TV from there. Once installed, you can use SIPTV on your LG Smart TV without any problem.

If for some reason the app is not available in your country, log into the LG App Store of any supported country and install the app from there. You can then go back to your home country account and the app will still be installed and available on your TV.

How to add IPTV channels to SIPTV?

SIPTV is very easy to use, so adding channels and playlists is not at all difficult. If you want to add IPTV channels to SIPTV, you will need a playlist. The playlist can be in M3U or TXT format as both are supported. Here is how to add IPTV channels to SIPTV:

• Go to the  SIPTV website .

Is Smart IPTV (SIPTV) the best application for IPTV?

It mainly depends on what kind of devices you have and how comfortable you are to install IPTV on the devices you prefer.
