- The M3U URL from your HoxyTV welcome email

Setup steps
Step 1: Install an IPTV player
- Press Home and open the LG Content Store (newer TVs call it Apps).
- Find Hot Player or IBO Player Pro with the search and choose Install.
Step 2, option 1: Configure Hot Player
- Launch Hot Player on your LG TV. Its first screen shows a MAC address: keep it in view.
- From a phone or computer, visit hotplayer.app/upload and log in with that MAC address.
- Under Source, keep Link and paste the M3U URL from your welcome email. Prefer Xtream Code? Pick it and fill in your Username, Password and URL + PORT instead.
- Set Playlist name to HoxyTV.
- Click Save, then close and reopen Hot Player on the LG TV to load your channels.
Step 2, option 2: Configure IBO Player Pro

- Click Add playlist, set Playlist name to HoxyTV and put your M3U URL in Playlist URL.
- Click Save, then close and reopen IBO Player Pro on the LG TV.
You're All Set!
Your LG TV now plays HoxyTV. If something is not right, the answers below cover the usual fixes.
Troubleshooting on LG TV
Can an LG TV install APK files?
No. LG TVs run webOS rather than Android, so apps come only from the LG Content Store.
My playlist shows no channels or fails to load. How do I fix it?
Copy the M3U URL from your welcome email again, all of it, and paste it once more. Make sure you logged in with the MAC address on your screen (and for IBO Player Pro, its device key too), then reopen the app. Still empty? Message our support team.
Channels keep buffering or freezing. What helps?
Buffering nearly always comes from the internet connection, not the app. A network cable or 5 GHz Wi-Fi to the TV helps most. Switching the router and the device off and on again helps too, and 4K needs a steady 25 Mbps or more.
