IPTV on TV: connect and watch TV channels

TV viewers who have purchased Smart TV often have no idea about the possibility of connecting to free IPTV channels. Information about the use of such content is specifically suppressed by the provider for the purpose of using cable television or paid resources. In this article we will look at what IPTV broadcasting is and how to watch similar channels on TV. We will also touch upon the issue of interactive television settings for popular brands of television receivers. And we will additionally consider the procedure for receiving broadcasts via a wireless Internet connection.

Providing viewing

First, let's analyze the capabilities of IPTV broadcasting. To do this, let's present the advantages in the form of a list:

The owner does not need to purchase a TV tuner.
There is no need to spend family money on buying a satellite dish and paying subscription fees for using channels.
This technology provides the ability to stop the broadcast for a selected period of time.
A set of additional functions when broadcasting IPTV channels will certainly please the viewer.

To ensure full viewing of IPTV channels, the user must have Internet access (preferably with high speed), a TV or computer and a paid service from the provider.

What is IPTV and how to watch it?

Many of us cannot imagine our lives without watching our favorite TV shows and channels, movies and sports broadcasts.
There are many different ways to watch TV channels, but not all of them are convenient and offer what the user needs. For example, watching movies or football broadcasts through a browser is a dubious pleasure, since it involves a constant search for the necessary links, frequent restrictions and freezing of the picture. IPTV technology offers an excellent opportunity to watch exactly what you want.

IPTV, or as it is also called IP television, online television is a technology for transmitting a television signal over Internet channels using the IP protocol. This technology is used by IPTV services to broadcast television channels over the Internet.

Therefore, to watch IPTV you do not need an antenna or cable. Everything is much simpler: you need a stable Internet connection and a device for watching IPTV. Internet speed must be at least 5 Mbit/s. The main advantage of IPTV is its versatility. Online television can be watched on a variety of devices: computers, tablets, smartphones, TVs with Smart TV, smart set-top boxes. IPTV also provides additional interactive features, such as access to information about TV shows, viewing TV shows over the past day, access to video content and movies.

On the Internet you can find many different services providing IPTV services. It will be difficult for the average user to quickly navigate and choose a truly high-quality IPTV service. Many services suffer from problems such as broadcasting channels with a compressed picture, disappearing channels and freezing of the picture, inconvenient channel sorting, and poor technical support.

Our IPTV service, TVIZI.NET, does not have all these shortcomings.

TVIZI.NET has more than 700 channels in 4K, HD and SD quality. Their number is constantly growing. The channels are conveniently sorted by topic. We present to your attention 21 categories of channels for every taste. It’s very easy to connect to us: register and go to your personal account, where you will find all the necessary settings.

Every day we do everything for our clients, providing only the best channels and service. You can verify this right now by going to .

Connection and setup procedure

How to properly connect interactive TV?

Let’s immediately decide on the necessary equipment to connect IP channels to the TV.

The user provides a high-quality Internet connection through a router or cable.
There must be a computer or laptop nearby to make the connection.
Basic knowledge of using the app store is required.
At the last stage you will need a playlist with a list of channels.

We list the sequential steps to install the program and configure the TV.

Let’s look at the simplest and most suitable method for all models with general recommendations:

Installation of the software occurs after checking the reliability of the Internet connection.
Using the remote control, go to the central menu and look for applications.
Each Smart TV has its own application store. Through it we download the SS IPTV program.
Now we carry out the setup process through the gear icon.
In the settings, you must manually enter the address of the playlists. They can be found on the providers' resources.
We synchronize the process with a computer or laptop. Playlists are managed through the gadget.
After adding playlists, we test channel viewing.
Enjoy watching for free.

LG TV

In order to connect interactive TV without a set-top box on an LG TV, you need to follow the suggested steps step by step.

You can connect IPTV channels to the LG model in two ways:

According to the first method, an Internet connection is required.

Using the remote control, go to the central menu and find the application store. We will need LG Smart World.
An authorization or account creation process is required.
Using the search, we look for an IPTV program.
After detection, we install it using pop-up tips.
We complete the procedure by pressing the “Run” button.

The second method does not require the Internet, but a flash drive and a computer are required:

Using your computer browser, open LG Smart World.
Download the archive of the required software.
Unpack and save to a flash drive.
Pre-format the flash drive.
We connect the flash drive to the smart TV.
On the TV (using the remote control) go to the central menu and open “My Applications”.
By clicking on the image of the flash drive, select the source for installing the program.
By clicking on the SS IPTV icon, we install the program automatically.
Save the changes and go to viewing.

↑ Lazy IPTV

This application takes up only five megabytes of memory and has an intuitive user interface.
If you have a list of six hundred TV channels, and the user only watches a dozen, you can simply add them to “Favorites”, after which the rest will not interfere. You can also use the following positive aspects of Lazy IPTV:

ideal controls for smartphones and tablets;
online video stores with a varied selection of many programs, as well as interactive applications for online shopping, email, music;
the ability to watch programs that have already been shown on television;
playlist manager: the user can have as many lists with TV channels as he wants, and in case of failures, go to the working playlist in a couple of clicks;
updating the list of TV channels: if the playlist updates itself, you can activate the auto-update option or do it manually at any time.

One of the disadvantages is the control on the TV - a number of important options for the remote control do not work, which are difficult to do without. Thus, it is impossible to switch to the desired TV channel with the corresponding numbers and the “next / previous TV channel” button is not yet active.

There is also no built-in video player. Therefore, along with the specified application, you will need to download the VLC player or MX player. This is inconvenient, and for weak Android consoles it additionally creates a load, which affects performance.

Ready.

IP-TV Player (BorPas)

Everyone loves and praises it, so I decided to add it to this list. In general, in my opinion, this is the most unsuccessful player of all time, and now I’ll explain why.

BorPas is made on the VLC engine with the most miserable design that could be made. Despite the built-in playlists and great functionality, this player always worked crookedly, with errors and slowdowns. One of the most common problems is the lack of sound on most channels.

The disadvantages could be listed for a long time, but I won’t do that. If you decide to try it, you can download it here: https://borpas.info/iptvplayer

I hope you have made your choice and set everything up. If you have any questions, write in the comments and I will answer you.

Wireless connection type

If you watch IPTV broadcasting through a router, you need to configure it correctly. Most often, there is no need to configure the router. The technology is supported automatically. On the other hand, a frequent problem is the forced configuration of the router. The problem is that there are no universal instructions for setting up IPTV on a router. It all depends on the model of the device.

Let's analyze the two main ways to configure a router.

First method

activation of IGMP Proxy. Available on select models.

We operate through the device control panel. How to do this is written in the instructions for the device.
In the settings for a wired connection, look for the IGMP function.
Activate by checking the box.
Save the new positions and reboot the device.

↑ IPTV

This is interactive digital TV.
IPTV is not tied to the list of TV channels, like regular TV. It does not depend on the tariff plans of the television operator, or on the region where the user lives. You just need to load the playlist and player with specific TV content. IP television is free when broadcasting over unencrypted channels, but even then you can watch many TV channels, including some with narrow themes. The advantages of IPTV include the following:

supports the option of video recording of TV broadcasts, the ability to pause a TV show, and then continue watching TV after a specific period of time;
HD video resolution;
multi-channel audio;

For IPTV, it is important to find and download a list of TV channels in M3U format. Fortunately, from the official website of the IPTV application you can download many lists of channels in this format: sports, with TV series, etc.

Although adding and setting up TV channels is quite simple, many users initially do not understand how everything works correctly. And you just need to click on “Add playlist”, and in the text field, enter or paste the copied address of one of the many playlists that are available on the IPTV application web resource. After this, it will be possible to start watching all TV channels.
