Device guide
Watch Epix IPTV straight from your television, with no stick and no extra remote. Here’s which Smart TV systems work best, how to install a player app on Samsung, LG and Google TV, and the picture settings worth changing.
By brand
The TV’s operating system decides which player apps you can install. This is the pattern we see in support.
| TV system | Found on | App choice | Our verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google TV / Android TV | Sony, TCL, Philips, Hisense (some), Xiaomi | Widest: full Google Play | Excellent. Same apps as Android boxes. |
| Tizen | Samsung | Good: several IPTV players in the Samsung store | Very good on models from roughly 2018 on. |
| webOS | LG | Good: IPTV players in the LG Content Store | Very good on models from roughly 2018 on. |
| VIDAA, Roku TV, others | Hisense (some), Roku TV models, budget brands | Limited | Use a stick. A Fire TV Stick is simpler. |
Step by step
The menu names differ slightly by brand and year, but the steps are the same idea on every TV.
Some Samsung players show a device ID on screen and let you add your login from a phone instead of the remote.
If your LG remote has a pointer, use it to type faster on the on-screen keyboard.
You can also install from Google Play on your phone and choose your TV as the device.
Picture settings
If your TV is older than about six years, runs slowly, or uses a system with few apps, a streaming stick is often the cheapest fix. It plugs into an HDMI port, brings a modern app store and usually feels much faster than the TV’s own processor.
Look at the sticker on the back of the TV, or go to Settings → Support → About This TV (names vary). Send us the model number and we’ll tell you whether a suitable app is available.
App availability differs by country and TV year. Ask us for an alternative app for your model, or use a streaming stick, which works on any TV with HDMI.
Yes, if the TV is 4K, the channel is offered in 4K and your connection provides around 30 Mbps or more. A wired connection makes 4K far more stable.
TV processors are modest and age quickly. Clear the app’s cache, close other apps, and restart the TV. If it’s still slow, a streaming stick will feel much quicker.
