IPTV on an LG TV - Apps and Setup on webOS
Key takeaway
To watch IPTV on an LG TV, install IPTV Smarters Pro, SS IPTV, Smart IPTV or IBO Player from the LG Content Store, then add your Xtream Codes login or M3U link. No box is needed on webOS TVs from 2018 onwards.
LG Smart TVs run webOS, a fast system that handles IPTV apps well. Like Samsung, LG doesn't allow Android APK files, so you choose from the apps in the LG Content Store. Here's how to set them up and get a smooth picture. Comparing brands? Our Smart TV guide covers Samsung and LG together.
Is your LG TV compatible?
LG TVs running webOS 4.0 or later (models from 2018 onwards) run IPTV apps without problems. Check your version in Settings > General > About This TV.

| SS IPTV | Free | M3U link added online with a code |
| Smart IPTV | One-time fee after a trial | M3U uploaded with the MAC address |
| IBO Player | Paid after a trial | Playlist added on its website |
TiviMate isn't available on LG: it only runs on Android-based devices. If you want it, add a Fire TV Stick or an Android TV box (see the best IPTV boxes).
