How to Install IPTV on Samsung & LG Smart TVs in 2026 (TiviMate Guide)
Looking for the best way to watch IPTV on your Samsung or LG Smart TV? This complete 2026 guide shows you how to sideload TiviMate — the top-rated IPTV player — using the same easy method as Google TV.
Perfect for: Samsung Tizen TVs and LG webOS TVs.
Why TiviMate? TiviMate delivers excellent picture quality, fast EPG, smooth navigation, and great stability on modern Smart TVs.
Important Notes
- Samsung and LG use closed operating systems (Tizen & webOS).
- Sideloading works best on 2020 and newer models.
- Older TVs may run slower — a Firestick 4K is often a better long-term solution.
Step 1: Install Downloader on Your Smart TV
- Open the App Store on your TV.
- Samsung: Press Smart Hub.
- LG: Open LG Content Store.
- Search for “Downloader” (orange icon by AFTVnews).
- Install and launch the app.
Step 2: Allow Unknown Apps
- Go to Settings → Apps → Security (or Special App Access).
- Find Downloader and toggle “Install unknown apps” or “Allow from this source” to ON.
Step 3: Install TiviMate (Same Link as Google TV)
- Open Downloader.
- In the URL field, type exactly: https://apk.st/CMEUZ (Case sensitive – capital letters CMEUZ must be exact)
- Press Go.
- Wait for the download to finish, then tap Install → Open.
Note: Our special TiviMate version has the StreamSurfers server pre-configured. No Portal URL needed.
Step 4: Login to StreamSurfers
- Open TiviMate.
- Tap Add Playlist or Add New User.
- Select Xtream Codes API.
- Enter only:
- Username: (sent after purchase)
- Password: (sent after purchase)
- Tap Add and wait for your channels, movies, series, and EPG to load.
Troubleshooting Samsung & LG IPTV Issues
- Downloader not available? Search for “Downloader for TV” or use the TV’s built-in browser.
- Installation blocked? Double-check Unknown Sources is enabled for Downloader.
- Buffering or slow loading? Connect your TV via Ethernet cable and use a VPN.
- App feels laggy? Older TVs (2019 and earlier) often struggle with sideloaded apps. Consider using an external Firestick.
- Login error? Make sure username and password are entered exactly.
