Quick answer: install HOT IPTV, photograph the MAC address and device key on its start screen, send them to us on WhatsApp (or upload your playlist on the HOT IPTV website), and restart the app.

Set up HOT IPTV

  1. Install HOT IPTV

    Find HOT IPTV (also called Hot Player) in your Samsung, LG or Android TV app store and install it.

  2. Note the MAC address and device key

    Open the app. The start screen shows a MAC address and, on most versions, a device key. Take a photo of the screen.

HOT IPTV questions

Is HOT IPTV free?

HOT IPTV has a trial period and then needs an activation, paid to the app developer on its website. The fee is separate from your TrendyScreen plan.

Where is the MAC address in HOT IPTV?

On the app’s start screen, or under Settings > Device info if you already added a playlist.

HOT IPTV shows “playlist not found”. Why?

The MAC or device key on the website does not match the TV, or the app was not restarted. Check both and restart. If it still fails, send us a photo of the screen.

Can I move HOT IPTV to a new TV?

The activation is linked to the TV’s MAC address. A new TV has a new MAC, so the app must be set up and activated again on it.
