How to set up Flixtele on Smart TV
Samsung and LG televisions run their own systems — Tizen and webOS — rather than Android, so they behave differently from everything else here. Their IPTV apps identify your set by its MAC address, meaning activation happens on our side instead of typing a password into the TV. A couple of extra minutes once, then you never touch it again.

- A way to send us your MAC address
Step-by-Step Setup
Smart TV Installation
Open Your TV App Store
On Samsung, open Samsung Apps; on LG, the LG Content Store. Search for "Smart IPTV", "IPTV Smarters" or "IBO Player" and install one. These are the apps built for television systems — the phone and Fire TV players do not exist here.
Find Your MAC Address
Open the app you just installed; it displays a MAC address on screen — twelve characters like 00:1A:79:XX:XX:XX. Photograph it rather than copying by hand: one wrong character sends the activation to the wrong device and nothing works.
Send Us Your MAC Address
Pass that address to our support team via live chat or email, or enter it on our playlist page if you prefer to do it yourself. We link your subscription to that television and confirm once done — usually within minutes during working hours.
Restart the App
Close the app fully and reopen it. On most TVs that means returning to the home screen rather than switching input; on some, power the set off at the wall for ten seconds. Your channels appear on the next launch.
Start Watching
Channels, guide and on-demand content all load. Browse categories and set favourites with the TV remote. Because activation is bound to the television itself, nothing needs re-entering after a power cut or firmware update.

Common problems
Fixes specific to Smart TV
The app shows no channels after activation
Almost always the app was not fully closed. Exit to the home screen and reopen it, or power the TV off at the wall for ten seconds. Also confirm the MAC you sent matches the one on screen exactly.
The app is missing from my TV store
Manufacturers add and drop apps by region and model year, and older sets stop receiving new ones. Try the other supported apps; if none are available, an inexpensive Android TV box or Fire TV Stick gives the set a full player.
It worked, then stopped after a firmware update
Firmware updates can alter the reported MAC address. Reopen the app, check whether the on-screen address changed, and send us the new one — reactivation takes moments.
