Samsung Smart TV IPTV setup guide: install IPTV Nord step by step

To watch IPTV on a Samsung Smart TV, install Set IPTV from the Samsung Apps store, note the MAC address it shows, then attach your IPTV Nord playlist to that address on the app maker's website. Reopen the app and your channels appear. Plan on about 15 minutes.

TiviMate is not made for Samsung's Tizen system, so a player from the TV's own store is the way to go. Set IPTV is free for 7 days, then asks for a one-time activation fee per TV. That fee goes to the app maker, not to IPTV Nord, and it is separate from your plan.

What you need before you start

  • A Samsung Smart TV connected to the internet. If an app does not show up in search, Samsung says it is likely not compatible with your model.
  • A Samsung account signed in on the TV. Samsung now requires one to open or download apps.
  • Your IPTV Nord login from the welcome email: the M3U link, or the server URL, username and password.
  • A phone or computer to open the app maker's website for a few minutes.
  • Not a customer yet? Ask for the free 24-hour trial. It fits inside Set IPTV's 7-day trial, so you can test both before paying anyone.

How to install IPTV on Samsung Smart TV

  1. Sign in and update the TV

    Check that your Samsung account is signed in. Then open Settings > Support > Software Update (under All Settings on newer models) and select Update Now if it is offered. An updated TV shows more apps in the store.

  2. Search the Samsung Apps store for Set IPTV

    Press Home, then press left on the remote to open the menu and select Search. On some models you open Apps and choose the magnifying glass instead. Type Set IPTV and pick the app called Set iptv. Lookalike names are common, so match it exactly.

  3. Install and open the app

    Select Install. When it finishes, select Add to Home so you can find it again, then Open.

  4. Write down the MAC address

    The app shows a MAC address, six pairs of letters and numbers separated by colons, and the website to visit. Take a photo of the screen with your phone. The letter O and the number 0 look alike, and one wrong character sends your playlist to someone else's TV.

  5. Open the Set IPTV website

    On your phone or computer, go to setsysteme.com, the official Set IPTV site. Accept the cookie category for the bot check, or the upload form will not work. Choose the option to test or upload a playlist and type your MAC address.

  6. Add your IPTV Nord playlist

    Select Add new playlist and name it IPTV Nord. Paste the full M3U link from our email into Playlist URL. If you prefer your Xtream Codes details, fill in the host or URL, port, username and password fields instead. Complete the captcha and select Submit.

  7. Restart the app on your TV

    Press Back or Exit until Set IPTV closes, then open it again from Home. The playlist loads with your channels, movies and series. The first TV guide download can take a few minutes, so give it time before you judge it.

  8. Test, then activate before day 7

    Watch a few channels, including a 4K one if your TV supports it. If you want to keep the app, pay the activation on the Set IPTV website with your MAC address before the 7 days end. It is tied to that TV and cannot be moved later. Stuck anywhere? Our Live Chat team can walk you through each screen.

Why Samsung TV IPTV apps charge their own fee

Samsung TV players are made by small independent developers who charge once per TV after a free trial. IPTV Nord does not receive this money and cannot refund it, and your IPTV Nord plan price stays the same whichever app you use. These are the Samsung Apps listings we checked for Canada in September 2026:

Smarters Pro from Tech Smarters is also in the Samsung store and was updated in September 2026; our IPTV Smarters guide covers it. Prices above are in euros, so your bank converts them to Canadian dollars. App makers can change them, so check the amount on their site before you pay. For a wider comparison, see our guide to the best IPTV apps for Smart TVs in Canada.

Using Smart IPTV instead of Set IPTV

Smart IPTV works the same way and costs less to activate. You add your playlist on its website, never on the TV itself. To use it:

  1. Install Smart IPTV from the Samsung Apps store and open it once so it shows your MAC address.
  2. On your phone, go to siptv.app/mylist, type the MAC address and paste your M3U link into the URL field.
  3. Tick Detect EPG so the app picks up the TV guide link from our playlist, then send the form.
  4. Close the app on the TV and open it again. Your channels load.

Once it works, lock your MAC address in the app's settings (the default PIN is 0000) so nobody else can replace your playlist.

Best settings for smooth IPTV on a Samsung TV

  • Use the LAN port. Many TVs have a 100 Mbps Ethernet port. That is still more than one 4K stream needs, and it is far steadier than Wi-Fi through a wall.
  • On Wi-Fi, pick the 5 GHz network and keep the router out of cabinets.
  • Power it off properly once a week. The remote only puts the TV to sleep. Unplug it for 60 seconds to clear its memory.
  • Run Device Care from Settings > Support > Device Care on 2022 and newer models to check the TV and free up memory.

Samsung TV IPTV questions

Is there an IPTV app for Samsung Smart TV in Canada?

Yes. Set IPTV, Smart IPTV and Smarters Pro are all listed in the Samsung Apps store in Canada as of September 2026. Set IPTV is our first pick because it takes either an M3U link or a server login and was updated recently. Store listings change, so message us in Live Chat if you cannot find one.

Can I install TiviMate on a Samsung TV?

No. TiviMate is built for Android TV, and Samsung TVs run Tizen. Store apps that borrow the TiviMate name come from other developers. If you want TiviMate on your Samsung screen, plug in a Fire TV Stick 4K Plus or a Google TV Streamer and follow our Android TV and Google TV guide.

Why do I pay for the IPTV app on my Samsung TV?

Samsung TV players are made by independent developers who charge a small one-time fee per TV after a free trial. It pays for the player only. It does not include channels, and IPTV Nord does not receive any of it. Your channels come from your IPTV Nord plan, which you pay separately in Canadian dollars.

What happens if I replace my Samsung TV?

Your IPTV Nord login moves with you: install the app on the new TV and add the same playlist. The app maker's activation does not move, though. Set IPTV ties it to the old TV's MAC address, so the new TV needs its own trial and activation.

Does IPTV work in 4K on a Samsung TV?

Yes, when three things line up: a 4K Samsung TV, a channel or movie offered in 4K, and about 25 Mbps of steady internet for that screen. Use the LAN port or strong 5 GHz Wi-Fi. If 4K stutters during busy evenings, send us the channel name in Live Chat and we will check the server.
