IPTV on LG Smart TV: Setup Overview

LG's smart TVs run webOS, a platform praised for its clean interface but, similar to Samsung's Tizen, working with a narrower app catalog than Android TV. Here's what to expect when setting up IPTV.

Checking the LG Content Store

Open the LG Content Store from the home screen and search for a compatible IPTV player. If you find one, install it directly and add your IPTV World Pro subscription details once it launches.

When no app is listed

If your webOS version doesn't have a compatible app, try the TV's built-in browser — it can sometimes reach a browser-based player. An external device like a Firestick or Android TV box is another reliable fallback; check our devices page for the full list of options.

Keeping playback smooth

LG sets generally run streaming apps without issue, though a wired Ethernet connection is still your best bet for 4K content. Our internet speed guide breaks down recommendations by resolution.
