The short version
LG Smart TVs run webOS, so you use TV apps rather than Android ones. IBO Player, Smart One and SS IPTV are available from the LG Content Store. Each shows a MAC address; you add your login on the app's website. Picture quality is excellent, and you need no extra box.

Which app should I choose?
IBO Player has the most modern interface; SS IPTV is free but older. Try one during the trial.
Network and picture settings
LG TVs connect over Wi-Fi by default, but most models also have an Ethernet port at the back. A cable gives the most stable picture on big games. In the picture settings, turn off motion smoothing for sport if you find it makes the image look artificial. If the app is slow to start, turning the TV fully off at the wall once a week clears its memory, because many LG sets only go to standby with the remote.
