WaveIPTV on an LG Smart TV (webOS): UK setup guide (2026)
LG TVs run webOS, which handles IPTV well once you pick the right player. Like Samsung, it can't run Android apps such as TiviMate, but the LG Content Store has solid IPTV players that work with your WaveCastUK playlist. Here's the LG TV IPTV setup, step by step.
LG TV IPTV: quick answer
- Apps: IBO Player, SmartOne IPTV or SET IPTV from the LG Content Store.
- Setup: note the MAC address in the app and add your M3U link on the app's website.
- Want TiviMate? Use a Firestick or Google TV Streamer in an HDMI port.
01Best LG TV IPTV apps
| App | How you add your playlist | Cost | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| IBO Player | On the app's website, with the MAC address and device key shown in the app | Free trial, then a licence per TV | Most people: simple and widely used |
| SmartOne IPTV | On the app's website, with the MAC address | Free trial, then a licence per TV | Big playlists |
| SET IPTV | On the app's website, with the MAC address | Free trial, then a one-off fee | Older or slower TVs |
These are players only: they don't include channels. App prices change and differ between stores, so check the current price before you pay and use the free trial first.
