Set IPTV Review 2026: MAC Activation and Setup
In this guide
Is Set IPTV worth it?
Yes, if you want to pay once per TV. Set IPTV runs on Android, Android TV, Samsung, LG webOS, TCL and Haier, gives a 7-day test, and is then activated once for life on its website using the MAC address the app shows. You upload your own M3U list there. Watch out for TVs with two MAC addresses (Wi-Fi and cable).

The two-MAC catch
Set IPTV’s site explains that each TV has two MAC addresses, one for Wi-Fi and one for the cable, and that the second is activated automatically after you switch connection types and restart the app. MAC addresses cannot be changed by hand. If your list vanishes after you plug in a cable, restart the app and check the MAC it shows.
How to set up Set IPTV
- Install Set IPTV from your TV’s app store and open it.
- Write down the MAC address and the website it shows.
- On a phone or computer, open the official Set IPTV website, enter the MAC and upload your M3U link.
- Activate the app within the 7-day test if you want to keep it.
