Applications for watching IPTV TV channels

IPTV on Samsung Smart TV
After setting up TV channels using the IP protocol on a Samsung TV, many new opportunities open up for the viewer compared to conventional television:
- View dozens and hundreds of channels of various directions and genres, many of which are unique and not broadcast in other formats. Most channels are free.
- High quality image. More and more IP channels are broadcast in HD resolution and even 4K resolution.
- TV broadcasts are accompanied by high-quality audio tracks in stereo, Dolby Surround, 5.1 format. You can also select the dubbing language when watching films.
- Viewing control – the consumer, if desired, pauses the video content, speeds up or slows down the image for a while, can watch a program from the beginning, from the middle or from the end, record it, etc.
To watch IPTV channels on a Samsung Smart TV, you must have the Tizen operating system installed, an Ethernet (LAN) input for a wired Internet connection or a Wi-Fi module for a wireless connection, and software that allows you to work with an IP video stream. Such a TV without connecting to a computer or Android TV set-top box receives, processes and reproduces an IPTV television signal.
To find out whether the Samsung Smart TV receiver plays TV channels in IPTV format, you need to check the year of its release and model series . All Samsung devices released after 2010, from series 5 and above, support TV broadcasting over the IP protocol.
Sometimes it is difficult to determine the year of manufacture and series of the device: the documentation is lost or has become unusable, there is no information in Russian, etc. In this case, you need to look at the marking code located on the information panel, usually attached to the back cover of the smart TV.
Example: Samsung UE55KS7500
- The first symbol is the type of matrix: U - LED, L - LCD, Q - screen based on “quantum” dots.
- The second is the region for which the device was released (E - Europe).
- The next number is the screen diagonal in inches.
- K – year of manufacture. The letter designation of the year has been introduced by Samsung since 2008, which was assigned the first letter of the English alphabet - A. Next year - the next letter. C – 2010, K – 2021, etc.
- The letter S indicates 4K screen resolution. May not be available on other models.
- The next digit is the series number. IPTV requires series 5 and higher.
The following symbols indicate the sub-series and design of the model. In the example given, the 7 series TV was released in 2010.
