How to watch

Whether it plays 4K depends on the model, so check the spec sheet before choosing 4K feeds. Fast bowling rewards a wired connection more than a 4K badge. If it doesn't suit you, the 7-day money-back guarantee applies, and because plans are prepaid there's nothing to cancel later.

What you need for PBA on the Samsung Smart TV

  • Player: Smarters Player Lite (free)
  • Budget 10 Mbps per HD screen and 25 Mbps per 4K screen, then add headroom for everyone else online
  • Channels to favorite: Fox Sports 1
  • Plan: from $10.42/month on the 12-month plan, or $24.99 for one month
  • Time: about five minutes, ideally the day before

The setup, in order

  • Pick a plan length, send the order on WhatsApp, and keep the reply open: it holds the server URL, username and password.
  • Press Home on the Samsung remote, open Apps, search for Smarters Player Lite and choose Install.
  • 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 Fox Sports 1 to favorites.
  • Play one of those channels for a few minutes well before the first frame to confirm the picture is steady.

Dial in the Samsung Smart TV for PBA

On Samsung TVs, Picture Clarity Settings (Auto Motion Plus on older models) control motion smoothing. For bowling, try the Sports picture mode, and lower the smoothing if fast action cut together from several cameras and venues leaves trails.

Getting more out of PBA

  • Sessions that air while you are at work or asleep are what catch-up is for.
  • Event schedules shift, so check the guide on the day rather than a printed schedule.
  • Favorite every channel carrying the event so you can follow it from one list.
  • Use a wired connection for the moments you most want to see live.

Quick fixes mid-game

  • Restart the player at a break in play; it clears most freezes in under a minute.
  • Drop from the 4K to the HD version of the channel; it needs less than half the bandwidth.
  • Pause other downloads and video calls in the house during the broadcast.

Will PBA play in 4K on the Samsung Smart TV?
