The walkthrough, step by step
Choose your player first
Tizen gives you two options that work quite differently, so make the call now. IPTV Smarters signs in with an ordinary login and costs nothing; Smart IPTV is leaner and holds steadier on an older panel, though it carries a small one-off fee and wants a MAC address uploaded first. For a panel from about 2016, lean towards Smart IPTV.
Go to the Samsung store
Press Home, move across to Apps, and reach for the magnifier search sitting at the top of that page.
Install it and note the MAC
Install whichever you chose and open it a single time. If it is Smart IPTV, write down the MAC address it shows straight away — you will need it in a moment, and by then you will have picked up your phone to carry on.
Connect it to your account
With Smarters, select Login with Xtream Codes and enter the three values. With Smart IPTV, open siptv.app/mylist from any phone or laptop, then submit your M3U link against that MAC address.
Reopen and test
Close the app completely and launch it again so the channel list and the guide load in. Bring up a live channel and give it a minute; while you are watching, the channel-list button on the remote is the quickest way to move through the groups.
If it acts up
You cannot find the app in the Canadian store
Samsung stocks a different app line-up in each region. You can either switch the region in Settings, or fall back on IPTV Smarters, which is carried almost everywhere. If neither works out, we can point you to an alternative that does.
Smart IPTV reports an expired playlist
That warning comes from the app, not from your subscription running out. Reinstalling it, or resetting the TV, wipes the stored list, so re-submit the M3U through siptv.app/mylist against that same MAC, and it is back straight away.
The player we would put on this one
Smart IPTV (SIPTV)
On a Samsung or LG set, SIPTV works from the MAC address, not a login. Post your Aero IPTV M3U over to siptv.app, plus how the free-week trial works.
IPTV Smarters Pro
A free player that spans Fire OS, Android, iOS, Samsung, LG, Windows and Mac. Installing IPTV Smarters Pro, adding your Aero IPTV login and fixing snags.

Samsung Smart TV — common questions
Do I need a Firestick, or will the Samsung manage alone?
Yes. Every Samsung from 2016 onward runs IPTV Smarters or Smart IPTV out of its own store, which leaves the television as the only equipment you need. A stick is only worth bolting on for an older, slower panel, or when you specifically want TiviMate — something Samsung does not carry.
Does Smart IPTV cost anything on a Samsung?
It is free for the opening week, after which there is a small one-time charge locked to that specific television. IPTV Smarters avoids the fee altogether. Either way the app stays an empty shell with no subscription loaded, so nothing at all shows up until you sign in.
