In this tutorial, I will show you how to install Smart IPTV on FireStick, Fire TV, FireStick 4K, FireStick 4K Max, Fire TV Cube, Android TV Boxes, Smart Android TV, and Android Mobiles.
What’s Smart IPTV (SIPTV)?
Smart IPTV is a premium IPTV player that lets you watch channels and programs from an IPTV provider.
The player is supported on various streaming devices, including Fire TV, Android TV, Google TV, MAG, and LG Smart TV.
Like most IPTV players, Smart IPTV doesn’t offer any content. It only provides a well-equipped platform to view live channels and VOD content offered by your IPTV provider.
You need to add an IPTV subscription to watch content on Smart IPTV, which lets you add multiple IPTV subscriptions.
Smart TV also supports various playlist types, including M3U, the most common and widely used IPTV format. Additionally, it provides an automatic Electronic Program Guide (EPG).
The IPTV player costs a one-time activation fee of 5.49 EUR. The week-long free trial allows you to test the player for at least 7 days.
Note: If you want your playlists migrated, activate the paid service before the 7-day trial expires.
Attention, FireStick Users!
Governments and ISPs constantly monitor your online activity, and accessing copyrighted content on your Fire TV Stick could lead to serious trouble. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone. I strongly recommend getting the best FireStick VPN to mask your IP address and securely stream your favorites.
I personally use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN available. Not only is it easy to install on any device, it comes with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee. Plus, if you're not 100% satisfied, you can always get a refund. ExpressVPN is currently also offering a whopping 3 extra months free on their annual plan!

Features of Smart IPTV
Smart IPTV is the choice of many users for accessing live TV channels and programs on various devices. Some distinguishing features of the service include:
- Support for multiple IPTV services
- Compatible with various IPTV playlist types
- EPG
- Closed captions
- Supports local files
- Optimized for IPTV content and easy navigation
Is Smart IPTV Safe & Legal?
While Smart IPTV is available on the Google Play Store, it’s missing on the Amazon App Store. Amazon has reasons for excluding the app, which might raise safety concerns among Fire TV users. Is it safe?
One way to determine an app’s safety status is to use a tool like VirusTotal. I tested Smart IPTV’s APK file on VirusTotal, and no security vendor found any suspicious files. Take a look.
The legal status of Smart IPTV is not an issue on its own, as it is a media player and not a content provider. However, the legal status also depends on what you stream via the app.
Some IPTV providers allow access to pirated content, which can result in legal troubles. Therefore, you must be careful and use a high-quality VPN while streaming on the Smart IPTV player. A VPN will hide your online identity and allow complete privacy. I recommend using ExpressVPN.
How to Subscribe to Smart IPTV
Smart IPTV is a premium service. After the trial period ends, you must buy a subscription to use the IPTV. The service charges a one-time fee of 5.49 EUR (almost $5.79) for every TV/device.
That said, Smart IPTV doesn’t offer any content. It’s just a platform to watch TV channels and programs from various IPTV providers. To subscribe to Smart IPTV, follow these steps:
1. Access siptv.app via a web browser. Then, scroll to the top right corner and press the Activation button.
2. Smart IPTV supports multiple payment gateways. So, type in your FireStick MAC to use PayPal or a Credit/Debit card. Similarly, enter your FireStick MAC and Email Address to use the payment wall.

Hi. I am having a problem with the app. I used my Firestick with the 7 day free trial. After the trial, I paid for the app. Now IPTV is saying that the MAC address that I provided to them does not exist. I do not understand because I am giving them the MAC address that appears on my screen via your app. Please advise.

Hi, please contact Smart IPTV via email at [email protected]
Scott says
Would you like to tell me and everyone else that smart iptv does not work anymore its been all over the news?? There is no chance we can watch it so dont waste ur money or time. Xstream codes has shut down.So what makes it any different now.?????
Patrick says
Hi Scott, Smart IPTV is just a player. You need to have an IPTV subscription from an IPTV provider to use it with. Smart IPTV isn’t dependent upon Xtream Codes, however, the IPTV service you want to use with it might be. So, we need to be mindful about which IPTV service we are planning to buy. It has nothing to do with Smart IPTV.
Scott says
Thanks mate i know its nothing to do with smart iptv its Xtream codes is the problem and i do have a subscription with my supplier and smart iptv they have found another source for smart iptv but most channels are buffering or saying conection failed and all the movies and tv shows on demand are not there? Ive rebooted it followed his instructions to reload the playlist but still no joy.So frustrating.Any advice would be great cheers again mate.
Max says
Hi Scott, I am not sure if I could offer any real help here. Most of the IPTV services aren’t working properly these days. However, Sportz TV seems to be working fine for me (though EPG may not work at this time). Here are our resources for Sportz TV:
