First, who we are: Vivimate is an IPTV subscription, and we don't make LG TVs or any of these apps. The app details below come from LG's US app store and from each developer's own site, read on November 9, 2026. This page reports no measurements of our own, and every LG listing carries the same warning: what you can install differs by TV model and country.
Start with the login, not the app
Most LG guides list apps first, which is how readers end up paying an activation fee for a player that can't read their login. Turn it round. An IPTV login comes in one of two shapes: an Xtream login with three parts, or a single M3U playlist link. Vivimate sends Xtream by default and can send M3U on request, so you can use either kind of app.
The IPTV apps LG's store lists
LG's web store shows the seller, version, update date and supported TV years for each app. All four below show as free to install; any charge comes later, inside the app.
| App and seller | Takes | TV years listed | Store update | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IPTV Smarters Player Streaming Tech LLC | Xtream (named in the listing) | 2019 to 2025 | February 23, 2026 | In-app activation; no price published |
| Smart IPTV needz | Playlist link, added on its website | 2016 to 2025 | July 15, 2026 | 5.49 EUR once per TV, after a trial |
| IBO Player Smartdev | M3U, M3U8 | 2016 to 2025 | March 12, 2026 | 7-day trial, then a purchase; price not shown; no refunds |
| SS IPTV SS IPTV Team | m3u, xspf, asx, pls | 2012 to 2025 | July 23, 2018 | Free, no activation |
Own a 2011 to 2015 set on NetCast or early webOS? LG also lists an older Smart IPTV, version 2.1.56, last updated August 27, 2019. And if a 2026 TV is yours, search its store directly, because none of these listings names one yet.
Setting up IPTV Smarters Player with an Xtream login
The getiptvsmarters.com download page tells LG owners to search the store for IPTV Smarters Player. On LG it's sold by Streaming Tech LLC, and its listing calls it “an advanced Xtream player”. We couldn't confirm that the seller and the getiptvsmarters.com developer are the same company, so read the screens carefully.
- Install it. Press Home, open the Apps store, search IPTV Smarters Player and check the seller line.
- Add the playlist. In the app, choose the Xtream option, or add it on the Smarters website from a phone, which accepts m3u and xc playlists.
- Enter the three details. Server URL with any port number, username, password, exactly as sent.
- Check before paying. The website says devices are activated by in-app purchase and shows no price, so read the amount on screen first.
If the format is new to you, our Xtream Codes login guide labels each part.
Setting up Smart IPTV with an M3U link
Smart IPTV, sold by needz, has no login screen. It shows an ID on the TV and you attach a playlist to that ID on the developer's website. Its activation page states a one-time 5.49 EUR per TV or device and tells you, in capitals, not to pay if you have no channels to use with it.
The My List page also has a field for a guide link and a Save online box for lists too large for the TV's memory. Its tips suggest locking your MAC/ID in the app's settings so a third party can't reset your playlist. The LG listing describes a free period but no length, so test promptly.
IBO Player and SS IPTV
IBO Player's site states a 7-day trial, after which a purchase is needed, and says there are no refunds after purchase. We couldn't find the price on the pages we read, which is why we'd try Smart IPTV first: a known fee is easier to weigh. SS IPTV is the opposite case. Its FAQ says it's free with no activation, and the LG listing covers TVs back to 2012, but the store shows no update since July 23, 2018, and it names playlist formats only.
When the app you want isn't there
- Check the seller, not just the name. LG's store has a “TiviMate IPTV Player” from a seller called Xtream IPTV Player. TiviMate's developer, Armobsoft FZE, describes its app as designed for Android TV.
- Use LG's model search. The Search TV App tool shows what a given TV model can install.
- Add a device. An Android TV or Google TV stick in a spare HDMI port opens up Android TV players, TiviMate included.
- Leave Developer Mode alone. LG's Developer Mode page describes a testing tool that needs a developer account, runs for a limited session and uninstalls its apps when it ends.
Fixing common LG problems
| What you see | Likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Smarters rejects the login | A typo in the server URL, or a missing port | Enter it on the Smarters website from your phone instead of with the remote. |
| Smart IPTV shows no channels | The playlist went to a different device ID | Compare the ID on the TV with the one on the My List page, then upload again. |
| A big list won't save | Limited app memory on the TV | Tick Save online on the upload page, or ask us for a smaller list. |
| The guide is blank | Guide data not loaded yet, or no guide link added | Wait, refresh, and add the guide link if the app has a field for it. |
| Picture stalls in the evening | Wi-Fi at the TV | Use Ethernet or the router's 5 GHz band, then test the speed at the TV. |
Smart IPTV's support page warns that TVs have limited app memory, especially LG's LM series. For line speed we suggest about 10 Mbps for HD, 15 Mbps for Full HD and 25 Mbps for 4K per stream; see the guide to the internet speed IPTV needs and why smart TVs buffer IPTV.
Is IPTV on an LG TV legal?
Installing a player from LG's store is ordinary. IPTV as a technology is legal; whether a particular service is lawful depends on the rights its seller holds. We don't publish the rights agreements behind our channels. Our page on whether IPTV is legal explains how to judge a seller.
Vivimate on your LG TV
Your Vivimate login is Xtream, and support can send an M3U link for Smart IPTV, IBO Player or SS IPTV. App fees go to the app's developer and are never part of a plan. Our refund policy doesn't cover device or app setup problems, so test on your own TV first. Plans are prepaid, with no contract:
| Plan | One device | Two devices |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Month | $19.99 | $31.98 |
| 3 Months | $29.99 | $47.98 |
| 6 Months | $39.99 | $63.98 |
| 12 Months + 2 free | $69.99 | $111.98 |

Frequently asked questions
What is the best IPTV app for LG TV?
We don't name a winner. Choose by the login you have: for a server URL, username and password, IPTV Smarters Player is the LG listing that names Xtream. For an M3U link, Smart IPTV has a published one-time fee, and SS IPTV is free.
How do I use Smart IPTV on an LG TV?
Install it from LG's store, open it and note the MAC or device ID it shows. On a phone or computer, open the siptv.app My List page, enter that ID and paste your M3U link. Restart the app and test channels before paying the 5.49 EUR activation.
Is the TiviMate app on LG's store the real TiviMate?
Not as far as we can tell. LG's store lists a TiviMate IPTV Player from a seller called Xtream IPTV Player, while TiviMate's developer, Armobsoft FZE, describes its app as designed for Android TV. For TiviMate, add an Android TV stick to the LG.
Will these apps run on a 2026 LG TV?
Possibly, but the listings we read stop at 2025 models on webOS 25, and LG says availability differs by TV model and country. Search the store on your own TV; what it shows is the answer that counts.
Do I need Developer Mode to get IPTV on an LG TV?
No. LG describes Developer Mode as a tool for testing apps: it needs an LG developer account, runs for a limited session, and removes the installed apps when it ends. All four apps on this page install from the normal store.
