Which TVs work?
Samsung, LG, Sony and other modern Smart TVs.
How do I add my list?
Via M3U or Xtream Codes in the app.

IPTV on a Smart TV — no box required
A modern Smart TV can run an IPTV app on its own, so you watch IPTV Nordic's 43,000+ channels and 240,000+ titles in up to 4K without any extra hardware. Prefer no box at all? Read What is IPTV?.
Samsung, LG and other brands
On Samsung (Tizen) and LG (webOS), portal-based apps such as Smart IPTV are common, using your MAC address. See the Samsung walkthrough in IPTV on Samsung Smart TV. On other brands, a player that accepts M3U or Xtream Codes works well.
Choosing your login method
You'll connect with either an M3U link or Xtream Codes. Xtream Codes often loads the EPG automatically; M3U is a single link. Both give you the same content.
Tips for the best picture
Use a stable connection (15–25 Mbps for 4K), and a wired Ethernet cable if your TV supports it. Keep the app updated. If your TV is older and lacks app support, a small Firestick is an easy fix — see supported devices.
