Samsung & LG Smart TVs
If you own a recent Samsung or LG television, you may not need any extra hardware at all. Install an IPTV player from the TV's app store, link your Best IPTV UK login and watch straight from the TV's own menus.
Yes, on most recent models. Samsung Smart TVs running Tizen and LG Smart TVs running webOS support IPTV player apps from their app stores. Smart TVs from Sony, Philips, TCL, Hisense and others that run Android TV or Google TV are covered on our Android TV page.
Samsung and LG apps often link your playlist to the TV by its MAC address or a device key, rather than asking you to type a login with the remote. We explain this in Samsung vs LG for IPTV.
Older sets with few apps available are best paired with an inexpensive Fire TV Stick.
Samsung TVs run Tizen. Install an IPTV player from Samsung Apps; many link your playlist through the TV's MAC address or a device key. Most models from roughly 2018 onwards have a good choice of players.
LG TVs run webOS. Players come from the LG Content Store, and the Magic Remote makes long channel lists easy to scroll. webOS 4.0 or later gives the widest app choice.
Sony, Philips, TCL, Hisense and other Android TV or Google TV sets install players from Google Play, with the same options as an Android TV box.

Samsung Smart TVs (Tizen) and LG Smart TVs (webOS) are supported through IPTV player apps from their app stores. Android TV and Google TV models from brands such as Sony, Philips, TCL and Hisense are also supported.
Many Samsung and LG IPTV apps link your playlist to the TV using its MAC address or a device key shown inside the app. You enter your login on the app's website, or send the code to support, and the playlist then appears on the TV.
It depends on whether a compatible IPTV app is still available for your model. If not, a Fire TV Stick or Android TV box plugged into the HDMI port is a simple and inexpensive fix.
Your subscription provides the TV service and login. IPTV player apps are made by independent developers. Many are free; some charge a small one-off or yearly fee for premium features or activation.
Yes, 4K UHD is available on channels and titles that are broadcast in 4K. To watch in 4K you need a 4K-capable TV or device, a player app that supports it, and a fast, stable connection. Many channels are delivered in HD or Full HD.
As a guide, allow at least 15–20 Mbps for HD and Full HD streams and around 40 Mbps or more for 4K. A wired Ethernet connection, or a strong 5 GHz Wi-Fi signal, gives the most stable picture.
Pick a one-time plan from £15, or request a free trial first and test the UK server on your own TV.
