Best IPTV app for Samsung Smart TV: what works on Tizen

Samsung's Tizen platform is not Android, so not every IPTV app is available. Here are the apps that work on a Samsung Smart TV, how to install them, and what to expect.

Samsung Smart TVs run Tizen, not Android, so the app choice is different from a TV box. The good news is that the best options are available and easy to set up, and a service like HAKUNA TV works with them directly.

The most popular choice on Tizen is Smart IPTV (SIPTV), which is built for Samsung and LG. You add your details using the TV's MAC address. Credentials from HAKUNA TV can be configured this way.

IPTV Smarters Player is also available on Tizen and offers a familiar layout of live channels, films and series. HAKUNA TV works in it the same as on other platforms.

Installing directly on the TV means no extra box and one remote. HAKUNA TV details are entered straight into the app on the television.

A large catalogue displays cleanly on these apps. The catalogue at HAKUNA TV covers over 69.000 live channels and more than 220.000 films and series.

Picture quality is set by the server, and Samsung's screens make it count: streams from HAKUNA TV reach up to 4K and up to 8K on compatible content.

If activation or loading a playlist puzzles you on Tizen, it is a quick step with guidance, and the HAKUNA TV team helps on WhatsApp, because HAKUNA TV supports Samsung setup.

On a Samsung Smart TV, then, you can watch without extra hardware. Explore the packages at HAKUNA TV, enter your HAKUNA TV details in the app and let HAKUNA TV handle the rest. The HAKUNA TV team answers on WhatsApp, and you'll find more on Instagram @HAKUNA TV.
