Smart IPTV (SIPTV) Setup: Step by Step
In this guide
How do I set up Smart IPTV (SIPTV)?
Install Smart IPTV from your TV’s app store, open it and note the MAC address on screen. On a phone or computer, go to siptv.app, open the playlist upload page, enter the MAC, paste your M3U link and send it. Activate the app (Android 13 and later only through the in-app purchase under Settings › Device Info › Activate), then restart it on the TV.
Smart IPTV is a player only. Its developer says plainly that no channels are included; you bring your own playlist from a provider.
What you need
- A supported TV or box (see the table below)
- An M3U link from your provider
- A phone or computer to open siptv.app

Questions
Does Smart IPTV come with channels?
No. It is a media player. Ask the developer for channels and they say such e-mails are ignored.
Is there an alternative?
Yes, several. See our smart IPTV apps comparison, or use Xtream Codes in an app like Axon Player on Android TV and Fire TV.
