Step-by-step setup
Step 1: Open Smart Hub
Press the Home button on your remote to open Smart Hub, then select Apps.
Step 2: Find IPTV App
Select the search icon, type "IBO Player" or "IPTV Smarters Pro" and choose it from the results.
Step 3: Install and open the app
Select Install. When it finishes, select Open. Note down your TV MAC address or Device ID.
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.
Troubleshooting
I cannot find the app in Smart Hub
Update your TV software under Settings › Support › Software Update, and make sure your TV region is set to the United Kingdom. Samsung TVs made before 2018 can use an Amazon Firestick.

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).
My login credentials are not accepted
Check for typos in the Server URL, Username or Password (they are case-sensitive). Ensure there are no accidental spaces copied from WhatsApp. If it still fails, message us on WhatsApp and our 24/7 UK team will verify your account immediately.
The stream test fails the 4K check
Connect the TV to your router with an Ethernet cable if you can, or move the router closer. Keep quality on Auto and the player will adapt smoothly.
