The walkthrough, step by step
Understand the twist
Where every other player here signs in on the TV itself, this one never does. You register on a website, matched to the television's MAC — so have a phone or laptop within arm's reach of the remote before you start, and the whole thing takes minutes.
Install it, then read the MAC
Pull Smart IPTV from the Samsung or LG store and install it. Open it once and note the MAC it puts on screen straight onto your phone, because you are about to walk away from the set to finish up.
Upload your list on the web
Over on the phone or laptop, load siptv.app/mylist. Type the MAC in exactly, paste your M3U into the URL field, tick Keep online, and hit Send.
Reopen now, pay later
Close the app on the TV and open it again so the channels and guide flow in. You get a free week from here; after that, siptv.app/activation collects a small one-time fee for that specific set. That charge is the app maker's and has no bearing on the subscription you hold with us.
If it acts up
It registered but the screen is blank
First, wait a minute and relaunch before calling it a failure. Then re-read the MAC you typed, every colon included — one wrong digit files your playlist against a stranger's TV. Keep in mind, too, that it stores just one playlist at a time.

Smart IPTV (SIPTV) — common questions
How does Smart IPTV differ from SSIPTV?
Two separate developers built two apps that solve nearly the same problem in nearly the same fashion, and the near-identical names cause no end of confusion. Smart IPTV is the MAC-upload method above; SSIPTV will instead accept a link entered on the TV. Either works with us — go with whichever your TV store stocks.
