Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Smarters Player Lite and Pro?

Is Smarters Player Lite really free?
Yes, Smarters Player Lite is completely free to download and use. It's supported by advertisements. You only need to pay for your IPTV subscription (like VIP TV UK) to access channels - the player app itself costs nothing.
Which Samsung TVs support Smarters Player Lite?
Smarters Player Lite works on Samsung Smart TVs from 2017 onwards running Tizen OS. This includes most models in the QLED, Crystal UHD, and Frame series. Older 'Smart Hub' models from 2016 and earlier may not be compatible.

Are the ads in Smarters Player Lite intrusive?
The ads are generally banner-style and appear between channel changes or in menus. They don't interrupt your viewing during playback. If you find them bothersome, consider upgrading to the Pro version.
Can I remove the ads?
The free Lite version always has ads. To remove them, you'd need to use IPTV Smarters Pro on a different device (Firestick, Android box) or look for alternative apps for your Smart TV like Flix IPTV (paid).
