Step-by-step setup
Step 1: Open the LG Content Store
Press the Home button on your remote and select LG Content Store (or Apps on newer webOS).
Step 2: Search for IPTV Player
Select the search icon and enter "IBO Player" or "IPTV Smarters Pro".
Step 3: Install and launch
Select Install, then Launch. The app is added to your Home launcher bar.
Step 4: Enter your Xtream Codes or M3U Playlist
Open your IPTV player app and enter the Xtream Codes credentials (Username, Password, and Server URL) or M3U link sent to your WhatsApp by IPTV Provider UK.
Step 5: Choose your default quality
Pick Auto (recommended), 4K UHD or Full HD. Auto adapts to your connection in real time; you can change it later under Settings › Playback.
Step 6: Test live stream and channels
Open the Live TV or Sports section and test any channel (e.g., Sky Sports Premier League or BBC One). In about 2 seconds the 4K stream should start playing smoothly without any buffering.

UK ISPs including Virgin Media, BT, and Sky enforce content filtering and security firewalls. In your Virgin Media online portal, turn off "Web Safe" (Virus Safe & Child Safe). On BT Home Hub, turn off "BT Web Protect". On Sky broadband, set "Sky Broadband Shield" to 18 or turn it off. Alternatively, set your router or device DNS to 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare) or 8.8.8.8 (Google).
