SET IPTV: How to Install and Set Up on Android, LG webOS and Samsung Tizen (2026)

SET IPTV is installed from the official app store on your device (Google Play, the Samsung Tizen Apps section, or the LG Content Store), then activated by entering your TV’s MAC address and M3U or Xtream Codes details on the setsysteme.app web portal — the whole process takes under 10 minutes and needs no typing on the remote.

What Is SET IPTV?

SET IPTV is a cloud-managed IPTV player built for Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, and Android (including Android TV boxes and phones). Unlike apps such as IPTV Smarters or IBO Player, which are configured directly on the TV, SET IPTV pushes your playlist to the app remotely through a browser-based portal. You never type a long M3U URL or Xtream Codes password with an on-screen keyboard and remote arrows.

Why people choose it:

• Listed in the official Samsung Apps store and LG Content Store — no sideloading needed on those platforms
• Configuration happens on a phone or computer, not the TV remote
• Supports both M3U playlist links and Xtream Codes (server/username/password) logins
• Built-in decoder handles H.264/H.265 streams and most standard IPTV bitrates smoothly
• 7-day free trial, then a one-time €15 lifetime activation — no monthly subscription for the app itself

The trade-off: SET IPTV has no external player support and no built-in catch-up/recording UI, so if you need those specific features, compare it against the other IPTV applications RevoIPTV supports before committing.

Before You Start: What You Need

• A Samsung (2018+ Tizen), LG (webOS 3.5+), or Android 8+ device connected to Wi-Fi or Ethernet
• An active IPTV subscription with either an M3U URL or Xtream Codes (server URL, username, password) — grab yours from the RevoIPTV free trial if you don’t have one yet
• A phone or laptop on the same network, to complete activation through a browser
• Five to ten minutes and, ideally, a stable internet connection of at least 15–25 Mbps for HD/4K playback

How to Install SET IPTV by Device

Samsung Smart TV (Tizen OS)

1. Press Home on your Samsung remote and open the Apps section.
2. Search for SET IPTV using the on-screen search bar.
3. Select the app and choose Install.
4. Open SET IPTV once installed. Your TV’s MAC address appears on screen — write it down exactly as shown.

LG Smart TV (webOS)

1. Open the LG Content Store from the LG home screen.
2. Search for SET IPTV and select Install.
3. Launch the app and note the MAC address displayed.

Android Phone, Tablet, or Android TV Box

1. Open the Google Play Store and search SET IPTV.
2. Install and open it. If it isn’t listed in your region’s Play Store, download the APK directly from the official SET IPTV website and sideload it (enable the ‘install unknown apps’ permission for your file manager or browser first).
3. Note the MAC address shown inside the app.

Important: most TVs and boxes report two MAC addresses — one for Wi-Fi, one for Ethernet. SET IPTV uses whichever connection is active when you first open the app. If you switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet (or vice versa) later, restart the app and re-activate using the new MAC address, or your channels will disappear.

How to Set Up SET IPTV with an M3U Link

This is the fastest method if your provider gives you a single playlist URL.

1. Open SET IPTV on your TV or device and note the MAC address on screen.
2. On your phone or computer, go to setsysteme.com/set.app.
3. Enter the TV MAC address exactly as displayed (uppercase, with colons).
4. Select ‘Playlist link’ as the connection method.
5. Paste your M3U URL into the M3U field.
6. Complete the captcha and click Send.
7. Restart your TV, or fully close and reopen SET IPTV. Channels, VOD, and EPG load automatically within a minute or two.

How to Set Up SET IPTV with Xtream Codes

Use this method if your provider issued a server URL, username, and password instead of a playlist link — it’s also the more reliable option long-term.

1. Follow the same steps above, but at step 4 choose ‘Xtream-codes infos’ instead of Playlist link.
2. Enter your server URL, username, and password.
3. Complete the captcha and click Send.
4. Restart SET IPTV to pull in your channels and EPG.

Xtream Codes credentials stay fixed for the life of your subscription, while some providers rotate M3U URLs periodically for security — meaning an M3U link can expire and need re-entry, while Xtream Codes logins typically don’t. If your provider offers both, Xtream Codes is usually the lower-maintenance choice.

M3U vs. Xtream Codes in SET IPTV: Which to Use

Activating SET IPTV After the Free Trial

SET IPTV runs a 7-day free trial starting the first time you launch it. After that, a one-time payment of roughly €15 unlocks lifetime access to the app — this fee is separate from your IPTV subscription itself.

1. Go to setsysteme.com/act.app on your phone or computer.
2. Enter the MAC address shown in your SET IPTV app.
3. Complete payment. Activation is applied to that MAC address immediately.
4. Restart SET IPTV; your channels and subscription continue without interruption.

Activation is tied permanently to the device’s MAC address. If you replace your TV, factory-reset it, or move to a new box, you’ll need to contact the SET IPTV developers to transfer the licence — it does not move automatically.

Managing Multiple Playlists and EPG

SET IPTV lets you load more than one playlist on the same activated MAC address, which is useful if you subscribe to more than one IPTV service or want a backup source. Repeat the M3U or Xtream Codes setup steps for each additional playlist through the same setsysteme.app portal, using the same MAC address. For programme guide data that doesn’t come bundled with your playlist, you can also submit a separate XMLTV EPG URL through the portal so guide listings populate independently of your channel source.

Tips and Troubleshooting

• EPG not loading with M3U: Switch to the Xtream Codes method, which carries EPG data more reliably, or submit a dedicated XMLTV URL through the portal.
• Channels not appearing after setup: Fully close and reopen the app rather than just backgrounding it. Double-check the MAC address you entered on the website matches the app exactly, including capitalization.
• Playlist disappeared after a network change: You likely switched from Wi-Fi to Ethernet (or back). Note the new MAC address shown in the app and repeat activation for that MAC.
• App not found in the Samsung or LG store: Availability varies by region and TV firmware version. Update your TV’s firmware and search again; on Android TV boxes, sideload the APK from the official site as a fallback.
• Buffering or freezing: Use a 5 GHz Wi-Fi band or Ethernet where possible, close background apps competing for bandwidth, and confirm your connection meets at least 15–25 Mbps for HD/4K streams.
• No external player option: SET IPTV plays everything through its own built-in decoder. If you specifically need an external player (for advanced subtitle or codec support), look at other IPTV applications that support that.

Using the Official SET IPTV Upload Portal (setsysteme.com)

SET IPTV is published by SETSYSTEME, and every playlist has to be attached to your TV through the official web portal rather than typed on the television itself. When you open the app it shows a unique device MAC address (a code like 00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E). On a phone or computer you then visit the SETSYSTEME upload page, enter that exact MAC address, and attach your list. There are two upload styles: paste a hosted M3U URL your provider gave you, or upload an .m3u file from your device. You can also give the list a name and paste a separate EPG (XMLTV) URL in the same form so the guide populates.

Two things trip people up. First, the activation is locked to that one MAC address, so the list only appears on the TV whose code you entered — a different TV needs its own upload. Second, SETSYSTEME is a media player only; it does not sell channels, credentials or subscriptions, and the company publicly warns that any "SET IPTV subscription" sold in its name is fraudulent. Your channels come from your own IPTV provider; the app just plays the list you upload. After the free trial you pay a one-time lifetime activation of roughly €15.46 per MAC on the SETSYSTEME activation page — there is no monthly app fee and no MAC-changing trick required.

SET IPTV vs Smart IPTV (SIPTV): They Are Not the Same App

SET IPTV and Smart IPTV (SIPTV) look almost identical on Samsung and LG, so buyers constantly mix them up and upload a list to the wrong portal. They are separate products from separate companies with separate MAC databases and separate payment pages, so a list uploaded to one will never show in the other.

If your TV came with a different player pre-installed, confirm the name and portal domain before paying, because the activation fee is non-transferable between the two apps.

Getting SET IPTV on Fire TV, Firestick and Android TV Boxes

SET IPTV is not listed in the Amazon Appstore, so a Fire TV Stick or Fire TV Cube cannot install it from the store like a Samsung or LG set can. To use it there you have to sideload the APK: open Settings > My Fire TV > Developer options and turn on Install unknown apps for the Downloader app, install Downloader from the Amazon Appstore, then enter the download link for the SET IPTV APK and let it install. On a generic Android TV box you can copy the APK to a USB drive or use a file manager instead. Only download the APK from the official SETSYSTEME site — reuploaded APKs on random forums are a common malware vector. Note that the newest "Vega OS" Fire TV models block sideloading entirely; on those, use an app that is in the store (such as IPTV Smarters Pro) rather than SET IPTV.

FAQ

Is SET IPTV free?

SET IPTV includes a 7-day free trial on first launch. After that, a one-time payment of about €15 activates it for life, with no recurring app fees — your IPTV channel subscription is billed separately by your provider.

Why doesn’t SET IPTV load the EPG?

Switch to the Xtream Codes setup method, which carries programme guide data more reliably than a plain M3U link, or submit a separate XMLTV EPG URL through the setsysteme.app portal.

Can I use SET IPTV on multiple TVs?

Each TV needs its own activation because SET IPTV licences are tied to a device’s MAC address. To move a licence to a new device, contact the SET IPTV developers directly — it won’t transfer automatically.

Does SET IPTV work on all Samsung and LG Smart TVs?

It’s compatible with most Samsung Tizen and LG webOS models sold from around 2018 onward, and it’s listed in both official app stores. If it doesn’t appear in search, update your TV’s firmware and check again — availability varies by region and firmware version.

What’s the difference between the M3U and Xtream Codes methods?

The M3U method uses a single playlist URL, which some providers rotate periodically. The Xtream Codes method uses a server address, username, and password that typically stay fixed for your subscription term, plus more reliable EPG and category-based VOD browsing — use it when your provider supports it.

Why did my channels disappear after connecting to Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi?

SET IPTV activates against whichever MAC address is active at setup — Wi-Fi and Ethernet report different MAC addresses on the same device. Note the new MAC shown in the app after switching connections and repeat activation on the portal for that MAC.

Is SET IPTV the same as Smart IPTV (SIPTV)?

No. They are two different apps from two different companies with separate upload portals (setsysteme.com for SET IPTV, siptv.app for SIPTV) and separate activation payments. A playlist uploaded to one will not appear in the other, so check the exact app name before you pay the activation fee.

Does SET IPTV give me channels or a subscription?

No. SET IPTV (SETSYSTEME) is only a media player. It does not sell or provide any channels, and the company states that any subscription sold under its name is a fraud. You supply your own M3U or Xtream Codes line from your IPTV provider, and the app simply plays it.

Where do I download the SET IPTV APK for Firestick or an Android box?

SET IPTV is not in the Amazon Appstore, so on a Firestick you install the Downloader app, enable Install unknown apps for it, then download the APK from the official SETSYSTEME website. Avoid APK copies posted on third-party forums, and note that the newest Vega OS Fire TV devices cannot sideload at all.

Can I move my SET IPTV activation to a new TV?

Activation is tied to the MAC address shown in the app, so a new TV has a different MAC and normally needs its own upload and activation. If you replace a TV, contact SETSYSTEME support to ask about transferring the paid activation rather than assuming it moves automatically.

How much does SET IPTV cost after the free trial?

After the 7-day trial, SET IPTV charges a one-time lifetime activation of about €15.46 for that single device MAC. There is no recurring app fee. This activation only unlocks the player — it does not include any IPTV channels, which you buy separately from a provider.
