"Smart TV" covers several different systems. The best IPTV app depends on which one your TV runs.
| Brand / system | Best app | Alternatives |
|---|---|---|
| Samsung (Tizen) | IBO Player | Smarters, Smart IPTV, Smart STB |
| LG (webOS) | IBO Player | Smarters, SS IPTV, Smart IPTV |
| Sony Bravia (Google TV) | TiviMate | Smarters, OTT Navigator |
| Philips (Android TV) | TiviMate | Smarters |
| Hisense / TCL (Google TV) | TiviMate | Smarters |
| Hisense (VIDAA) | Store apps vary | Stick |
| Roku TVs | none suitable | Stick |
| Vizio (SmartCast) | none suitable | Stick or casting |
When a stick beats the TV app
- The TV is a few years old and menus are slow.
- The TV's Wi-Fi drops in the evening.
- You want TiviMate's guide or multiview.
A Fire TV Stick 4K or Google TV Streamer plugged into HDMI fixes all three.
Device guides: Samsung, LG, Android TV, Hisense and TCL.
