Sport
Each profile picks the sports, leagues and teams it follows, then sees their fixtures and standings.
Samsung Smart TV
Your own playlists, made for the Samsung remote.
Live TV with a full guide, catch-up, movies and shows, all reached with the arrows, OK and Back. You sign in by confirming a code on your phone, so the TV never asks for a password.
Coming soon to Samsung TV AppsCreate a free account
The Samsung app is not in the store yet. Set up your account and playlists on the web now, and your TV signs in with a code on the day it arrives.
Live TV
The picture stays full screen while you browse.
Your groups and channels sit in a strip along the bottom of the picture. Move along it with the arrows, press OK to tune, and Back puts it away. Channel up and down switch channels without opening anything.
Mark favorites, set your own channel order, hide a group or lock it with a PIN, all from the remote.
Guide
A TV guide you can read from the sofa.
Channels down the side, the time across the top, and a line where now is. Channel up and down page through the rows, and the arrows do the rest.
Catch-up has a page of its own, for channels where your provider keeps past programs.
Movies and shows
Stop on your phone, pick it up on the TV.
Every movie and show has its own page with the details, a trailer and My list. Continue watching follows your account, so the episode you stopped on your phone is waiting on the TV.
Also on the TV
Profiles and kids
Everyone has a profile. Kid profiles get a daily limit and a bedtime, and when time is up, a grown-up unlocks the TV with a PIN or a QR code.
Search
One search across your channels, movies and shows, typed on an on-screen keyboard you move with the arrows.
Nine languages
Arabic included, laid out right to left, with the arrow keys mirrored to match.
Remote
Built for the remote that came with the TV.
Every screen works with the arrows, OK and Back. There is no pointer to aim, and nothing to type apart from the odd search.
- ArrowsMove the focus, on every screen
- OKPlay or open what is focused
- BackGo back. On the first screen, the app asks before it closes.
- Channel up and downChange channel in Live TV, page through the guide
- Play and pausePause and resume what is playing
Samsung remotes change from year to year. The arrows, OK and Back are on all of them.
Sign in
A code on the TV, a tap on your phone.
The TV never asks for your email or password. It shows a short code and a QR code, and a phone or computer where you are already signed in confirms it.

A code in two groups of four appears, with a QR code beside it.

Questions
Before you install
Do I type a password on the TV?
No. The TV shows a code, and you confirm it from a phone or computer where you are signed in.
Will it run on my older Samsung TV?
It needs a Samsung Smart TV from 2021 or later. Models from 2020 and before cannot run it.
Can I record on the TV?
No. Recording lives in the Windows app. The TV app plays your channels, movies and shows, and follows your sport.
Does it come with channels?
No. My TV Player is a player. You add your own playlists or provider logins in the web console, and the TV plays them.
Start on the web, finish on the sofa.
Create your account and add a playlist in your browser. Then install the app on the TV, confirm the code, and watch.
