Smart IPTV Activation Guide: Samsung & LG Smart TV (2025)

Smart IPTV (also known as SIPTV) is the most widely used IPTV app for Samsung and LG Smart TVs. It requires a one-time activation fee of €5.49 after a 7-day free trial. This guide walks you through the full activation and setup process.

Step 1 — Install Smart IPTV

Samsung Smart TV

  1. Press the Home button on your Samsung remote
  2. Navigate to Apps → search for "Smart IPTV"
  3. Install the app
  4. Open Smart IPTV — it will display your TV's MAC address
  5. Write down or photograph this MAC address — you need it for activation

LG Smart TV

  1. Press the Home button and open the LG Content Store
  2. Search for "Smart IPTV" and install
  3. Open the app to find your MAC address

Step 2 — Add Your M3U Playlist

  1. On your computer or phone, open a browser and visit the Smart IPTV website
  2. Enter your TV's MAC address in the field provided
  3. Paste your M3U URL in the playlist field
  4. Optionally add an EPG URL for the programme guide
  5. Click Send to TV
  6. On your TV, restart Smart IPTV — your channels will load

Important: Smart IPTV stores your playlist server-side linked to your MAC address. You only need to re-submit the URL if it changes. The app on your TV loads from this stored link automatically.

Step 3 — Activate Smart IPTV (After 7-Day Trial)

Smart IPTV is free for 7 days. After the trial, you pay a one-time €5.49 lifetime fee per TV:

  1. Open Smart IPTV on your TV
  2. Navigate to Settings → Activation
  3. Follow the on-screen payment instructions (PayPal or credit card via the SIPTV website)
  4. Payment is linked to your TV's MAC address — it is permanent and never expires

Set Up EPG (Programme Guide)

  1. Go back to the Smart IPTV website
  2. In the EPG field, enter your EPG URL (available in your BestIPTVToday account details)
  3. Click Send and restart the app on your TV
  4. The guide will populate within a few minutes

Common Smart IPTV Issues

  • Channels not loading: Re-submit the M3U URL on the website and restart the app
  • App shows "Trial expired": Complete the activation payment on the SIPTV website
  • EPG not showing: Ensure EPG URL is correct; EPG may take up to 30 minutes to fully load
  • New channels missing: Re-submit the same M3U URL to refresh the channel list
