Samsung, LG & Other Smart TVs
- Open your TV's app store (Samsung Smart Hub or LG Content Store) and search for an IPTV player supported on your model, such as Smart IPTV or SS IPTV.
- Install the app and note the MAC address it displays on first launch.
- Send that MAC address to WaveCastUK support so it can be linked to your subscription, or enter your M3U playlist URL directly if the app supports it.

Troubleshooting
Setup FAQ
My app says "connection error" — what do I do?
Double-check your username, password and server URL exactly match the email — these are case-sensitive. If they match, try restarting your router and the app.
Can I switch which app I use later?
Yes, your login details work with any compatible player app — you're not locked into the one you start with.
How many devices can I set up at once?
This depends on your plan's device connection limit — see the Packages page for details on each tier.
