How to Install and Watch IPTV on LG Smart TV
IPTV, or Internet Protocol Television, is a service that uses TCP/IP protocol suites to provide live TV channel and VOD content. It primarily uses IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) for live TV broadcasts and RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) for on-demand videos. Unlike traditional cable services, the media will be stored on the transmission end of the server. Hence, users can access their favorite media anytime. IPTV services are affordable compared to the premium streaming services like Netflix. You can directly install the IPTV app from the LG Content Store on LG Smart TV.
Before installing any IPTV app, ensure to have an active subscription to an IPTV service provider. Then, make sure to connect and set up a VPN on your device. To watch your service provider’s content, you need an IPTV Player. There are plenty of IPTV players available in the LG Content Store. We have used Smart IPTV to explain the installation procedure in this guide.
