How to Set Up IPTV on an LG Smart TV

Install an IPTV player such as IPTV Smarters Pro or IBO Player Pro from the LG Content Store, then add your Elitnes login. It works on most LG smart TVs running webOS, takes about 10 minutes, and you don’t need an extra box.

Quick answer: to watch IPTV on an LG Smart TV:

  1. Press the Home button and open the LG Content Store (called Apps on newer TVs).
  2. Search for IPTV Smarters Pro or IBO Player Pro and install it.
  3. Sign in with your Xtream Codes login, or send us the MAC address the app shows.
  4. Open Live TV and start watching.

What you need before you start

  • An LG Smart TV with webOS, connected to the internet.
  • Your Elitnes login – we send it on WhatsApp after you pick a plan or request a free trial.
  • The LG Magic Remote (its pointer makes typing much quicker) and about 10 minutes.

Check your LG TV first

LG smart TVs use the webOS system. To check your TV is up to date, open Settings > All Settings > Support > Software Update and install any update. You can find your model number in the same Support menu under TV Information.

Very old LG TVs (NetCast, before webOS) can’t install current IPTV players. If yours is one of them, plug in a streaming stick and follow our Firestick guide instead.

How to install IPTV on an LG TV, step by step

Open the LG Content Store

Press Home on the remote and select LG Content Store or Apps. Use the search icon at the top of the screen.

Install an IPTV player

Search for IPTV Smarters Pro (sign in by typing your login) or IBO Player Pro (playlist linked to your TV’s MAC address). Select Install.

Add your Elitnes login

IPTV Smarters Pro: choose Login with Xtream Codes API, then enter any name, your username, password and server URL, and select Add user.

IBO Player Pro: the app shows a MAC address and device key. Photograph the screen and send it to us on WhatsApp; we add your playlist for you.

Load your channels

Give the app a minute to load the channel list and TV guide. In IBO Player Pro, close and reopen the app once we confirm your playlist is added.

Pin the app to your home bar (optional)

Highlight the app on the home bar, press and hold OK, and move it to the front so it is always one click away.

Tips for a smooth picture on LG TVs

  • Use the LAN port on the back of the TV for the most reliable connection.
  • On Wi-Fi, connect to the 5 GHz network in Settings > All Settings > General > Network.
  • Restart the TV fully now and then by switching it off at the wall for a minute, which clears the memory.
