Samsung Tizen TVs
Samsung smart TVs run Tizen OS, which has its own dedicated app store. The best IPTV options are Smarters Player Lite (free, recommended), Smart IPTV ($5.49 one-time activation), and IBO Player. Smarters Player Lite supports Xtream Codes natively and handles ViewTVY credentials seamlessly. Available on all Samsung TVs from 2017 onwards.
LG webOS TVs
LG smart TVs run webOS, available since 2014. The LG Content Store offers Smarters Player Lite, IBO Player, Smart IPTV, and Duplex Play. Smarters Player Lite remains our recommendation for ViewTVY subscribers — clean interface, reliable Xtream Codes support, and consistent updates.
Sony Bravia (Android TV)
Sony Bravia smart TVs run Android TV, which gives access to the full Google Play Store. This means TiviMate, IPTV Smarters Pro, and any other Android IPTV app works natively. Sony Bravia is arguably the most flexible smart TV platform for IPTV in 2026.
Hisense and TCL (Google TV / Roku)
Hisense and TCL TVs ship with either Google TV (essentially Android TV) or Roku OS. Google TV models support all standard Android IPTV apps. Roku models have more limited app selection — Smart IPTV and IPTV Smarters are available, but the experience is less polished than Android TV.
Activation Process for Samsung and LG
Some Samsung and LG IPTV apps require device activation before they will accept playlist credentials. After installing the app, you receive a Device ID or MAC address that must be registered with the app's website. ViewTVY's support team handles activation requests within 24 hours via live chat.
When External Devices Beat Smart TV Apps
Native smart TV apps work well, but a $40 Firestick or Android TV box often delivers a better IPTV experience than the smart TV's built-in apps. External devices receive more frequent updates, support more IPTV players, and remain functional for years after the smart TV's app support ends.
Conclusion
For Samsung and LG, install Smarters Player Lite from the native app store. For Sony Bravia, Hisense Google TV, and TCL Google TV, install IPTV Smarters Pro or TiviMate from the Play Store. For older smart TVs without app support, add a Firestick. ViewTVY works seamlessly with all of these setups.
