Samsung or LG: which is better for IPTV on Smart TV?
Both work very well. Samsung TVs usually have a slightly larger choice of apps, while LG’s webOS is fast and simple to navigate. In practice, the quality of IPTV on Smart TV depends more on your internet connection and Wi-Fi signal than on the brand. If the TV is far from the router, an Ethernet cable makes the biggest difference, especially for live sports in Full HD and 4K.
Keep the TV and the app updated
TV manufacturers regularly release firmware updates that improve Wi-Fi and video playback. Turn on automatic updates in your TV settings, and update the player app when the store offers a new version. This keeps IPTV on Smart TV stable and avoids login problems after app changes.
Using the TV remote comfortably
Typing long passwords with a TV remote is slow, which is why many apps for IPTV on Smart TV let you add your playlist from a phone or computer on their website. If your app offers this option, use it: copy your details from the ivoraTV email on your phone and paste them in a few seconds. Then add your favourite channels to Favorites for one-click access.
