About setting up smart TV on Philips
Now let's look at how to set up a smart TV on a modern Philips. To access Smart on your TV, you first need to connect your TV receiver to a wireless network. You can do this in the menu, simply by finding your network. In order not to enter an access password, you can use a secure connection through the router's button.
Let's move on and consider how to set up a smart TV on a Philips model. Now you need to press the Home button on the remote control to access the menu. It is necessary to check the relevance of the software used, and if necessary, immediately update it to the latest version.
To set up smart TV on Philips models, you need to go to smart TV and accept the user agreement. Next, we register our account in the iptv system and enter it. Everything is standard here:
- Name and surname.
- Date of Birth.
- Email.
- Access password.
After registering your record, you need to enter it, in this way, direct activation is carried out. The next step is to register your device in the system. To do this, you just need to enter the product number into the proposed form, after which the system will determine your model for more accurate interaction.
If certain errors occur when registering an account and repeating the procedure does not help, then it is best to use a computer, and then just log into your account.
Once you have completed all the initial settings, you can see the main window of the Smart system on the screen. To begin with, you will be offered individual recommendations, you can turn them on or completely abandon the advice of the system. Next, you are given the opportunity to set parental controls. All applications and programs labeled 18+ will be banned from viewing. In the future, this function can be turned off in the settings, but only when using the parameters of your account.
After the last questions, a browser window appears in front of you. With it, you can visit web pages, view video files and channels. The main screen of the "smart" mode contains the installed channels, you can fully control their playback and organize a convenient viewing.
What is dvb and its capabilities
But the latest models on the market are valuable not only for the "smart" system. In modern technology, dvb modules are used, they open up new possibilities for the owner. 
In the latest devices from Philips, the dvb t2 module is installed, you no longer need a set-top box from the operator. The modern dvb module itself processes the digital signal and allows you to adjust it for further playback.
This means that you can save on expensive equipment from the operator, which is a big plus. But you need the following items:
- Antenna dvb, an inexpensive option can be purchased, it can provide reliable reception.
- Cam module for decoding encoded signals.
- Access card from one of the operators.
You can't just connect the antenna and start watching. On the screen, you will not see colorful digital channels, but simply a notification that the resource is encrypted. Companies transmit their signal in a special format, and they can only be accessed by purchasing a subscription and a card.
If you need to determine the IP of the TV, then there is nothing difficult. Your TV must be connected to the internet or home network. Further in the menu settings you will need to find the item responsible for the network connection and already in the network settings you can find the IP address of the TV. This procedure is universal and is suitable for most modern TV models from various manufacturers.
It is important to understand that an IP address can only be assigned to models whose characteristics allow you to configure an Internet connection. In our electronic catalog, models with the ability to connect to the Internet are widely presented.
It is worth noting that most often the difficulties for users arise precisely at the stage of connecting the device to the network. Let's consider in more detail the situation when the connection between the TV and the router is established, but the connection to the Internet does not occur.
What to do if the IP address of the TV is not displayed on a wireless connection
Initially, you should determine if your device has been assigned an IP. To do this, in the menu settings, you need to select the section relating to the network, go to the settings and watch the ip of the TV. The fact that there is no connection in the “TV-router” pair will be indicated by an IP consisting entirely of “0”. To solve this problem, you need to double-check the status of the TV's connection to the network. To do this, you need to go to the section of the wireless network settings. In case the device is not connected ("Not connected"), there is a possibility that the TV is out of the router's coverage area. In this case, it will be necessary to reduce the distance between them or connect the devices using a cable. If the connection does not appear, then you need to test it by connecting some other device to the router. If the test shows the presence of the Internet, then you will need to contact the representatives of the TV manufacturer. If there is no Internet, then you will need to contact the representatives of your Internet connection service provider for help.
What to do if the IP address of the TV is not displayed with a cable connection
In a wired situation, time will need to be taken to check the cables in all accessible locations. If, after restarting, it was not possible to solve the problem, then you should test the connection through another device again, and then contact either the representatives of the manufacturer or the company that provides you with the Internet connection service.
Why you need to know the ip of the TV
We figured out how to find out the IP of the TV and solve problems with the connection between the TV and the router, but why do we need information about which IP is assigned to the device? To understand the essence, it is enough to indicate that IP is a unique address of a network node and it is necessary for connecting computers to each other. For example, if the TV does not connect to the Internet, then you need to manually enter the network settings, in particular, the IP address and other parameters.
The best manufacturers in the Yellow catalog
Among the manufacturers whose products are presented in our catalog by models with the possibility of cable or Wifi connection to the Internet, it should be noted:
- ... The products of the Korean company need no introduction. In the new year, LG introduced completely new TV models, which have already been described as a real breakthrough on the TV market. they differ not only in the widest range of functions, but also look simply mesmerizing. One has only to mention the super slim "Picture-on-Wall" model. LG models use webOS as a software shell. LG Smart TV has a wide range of functions.
- Samsung. A serious base of Smart TV applications and all kinds of extensions allows you to view any type of content.

Philips Smart TV with ForkSmart widget is almost a real smart TV, i.e. on it you can watch online movies and TV shows from ex.ua, fs.to, nowfilms.ru and dozens of other decent services (and porn for dessert). And this is really an Avatar, not Fir-4, and yes, Game of Trones, not shit.
Philips Smart TV without the ForkSmart widget is a terrible offense for overpaid 300 euros, and a feeling of abandonment when visiting adult Samsung smart owners. This is a depressing meditation on a brick, connected to the internet and an incinerating hatred of deceitful marketers.
We pump over the positive - our task is to achieve the following picture on the Philips SmartTV screen:
Now how:
0. Important: the Megogo widget must be installed on the TV. 
1. We go on the TV to the network connection settings.
Setup 
Setup - Network settings 
Click "view parameters"
View network settings 
It is assumed that the TV is connected to a network over the air (wifi) or via a wire (LAN).
2.This window opens:
In the picture we see a bunch of incomprehensible numbers and letters, we do not delve into it, we just carefully rewrite what we saw on a piece of paper. (! in the screenshot - an example, you will have others)
By the way, this is the answer to the eternal question " how to find the mac address of a philips TV"
3. Return to the menu, click "Network Settings". Set up a "static IP address"
Network settings - Network configuration - Static IP
4. Back to the menu again, run the "static IP address setting"
Network settings - Static IP configuration
5. Change DNS1 to 046.036.218.194 
All other parameters (IP adress, Netmask, Gateway, DNS2) are copied from the piece of paper from point 2.
Important!
a) MAC address. - the input of letters in this address must be in upper case - if the connection is wireless, in the lower case in the case of wired. For example, upper (wireless) - 00: 0F: AA: FE: 0C: A6; lower (wired) - 00: 0f: aa: fe: 0c: a6.
B) The TV shows the IP address in the form "192.168.0.1", and offers to enter in the form "000.000.000.000". We are not afraid of extra zeros. We enter like this: 192.168.000.001 
And 255.255.255.0, respectively, turn into 255.255.255.000 
6. Turn off / turn on the TV, then click on the smarttv remote control. We launch the Megogo application, the ForkSmart application should appear instead. 
Launching Fork Player
7. Enjoy
Summary:
1) Install Megogo widget
2) in "Network parameters" enable "static IP-address" (Network configuration - Static IP)
3) in "Static IP settings, change DNS1 to 046.036.218.194 (Static IP configuration - DNS1 - 046.036.218.194)
FAQ:
Q: My TV connected to the network automatically and chose DHCP, dynamic IP. And when I click View network settings in the info window, I have some bullshit instead of DNS1 and DNS2. What to do? Where can I get them?
A: We act in the same way - in the "Network Settings" include the "static IP address" and after that we go again in "view parameters". Now everything that is needed is reflected there. We rewrite it on a piece of paper, return to the "Static IP Settings" and enter everything that needs to be entered in the appropriate fields.
