How to watch

Whether it plays 4K depends on the model, so check the spec sheet before choosing 4K feeds. For hockey, frame rate matters as much as resolution. Plans are prepaid and never auto-renew, and you have 7 days to ask for your money back.

The short list

  • Player: Smarters Player Lite (free)
  • Plan on about 10 Mbps for each HD stream and 25 Mbps for each 4K stream
  • Channels to favorite: ESPN and ESPN2
  • Plan: from $10.42/month on the 12-month plan, or $24.99 for one month
  • Time: about five minutes, ideally the day before

Set up before puck drop

  • Pick a plan length, send the order on WhatsApp, and keep the reply open: it holds the server URL, username and password.
  • Open the LG Content Store (labeled Apps on recent webOS versions), search for Smarters Player Lite and install it.
  • Select Add user or Add playlist in Smarters Player Lite, choose Xtream Codes, and fill in the three fields from your login message: server URL with its port, username, password.
  • Open the Sports group and add ESPN and ESPN2 to favorites.
  • Play one of those channels for a few minutes well before puck drop to confirm the picture is steady.

LG Smart TV settings for hockey

On LG TVs, TruMotion controls motion smoothing. Try the Sports picture mode for hockey, then go back to Standard if skin tones look off; lower TruMotion if a small black puck changing direction faster than the camera can pan leaves halos.

Getting more out of NCAA Hockey

  • Turn down heavy motion smoothing on the TV; it can leave halos around the puck.
  • Hockey is where frame rate shows: choose a 60fps feed when your player offers one.
  • Overtime runs past the guide slot; if you record games, add padding to the end time.
  • Intermissions are the time to switch feeds if the picture isn't sharp.

Quick fixes mid-game

  • Move to Ethernet or 5 GHz Wi-Fi before the next one.
  • Restart the player at a break in play; it clears most freezes in under a minute.
  • Pause other downloads and video calls in the house during the broadcast.
