How to watch

4K support varies by model and year; if the settings menu offers a 2160p or UHD output, you're covered. For basketball, frame rate matters as much as resolution. If it doesn't suit you, the 7-day money-back guarantee applies, and because plans are prepaid there's nothing to cancel later.

WNBA on the LG Smart TV, step by step

  • Order on WhatsApp from the buy page. Your login details come back in the same chat, usually within a minute.
  • Open the LG Content Store (labeled Apps on recent webOS versions), search for Smarters Player Lite and install it.
  • In Smarters Player Lite, pick the Xtream Codes or XC API option, then type the server URL, username and password from your WhatsApp message. All three are case-sensitive.
  • Open the Sports group and add ION Television, ESPN, and ABC to favorites.
  • Play one of those channels for a few minutes well before tip-off to confirm the picture is steady.

Before you begin

  • Player: Smarters Player Lite (free)
  • A 25 Mbps line handles one 4K stream comfortably; HD needs roughly 10 Mbps per screen
  • Channels to favorite: ION Television, ESPN, and ABC
  • Plan: from $10.42/month on the 12-month plan, or $24.99 for one month
  • Time: about five minutes, ideally the day before

Picture settings that matter

On LG TVs, TruMotion controls motion smoothing. Try the Sports picture mode for basketball, then go back to Standard if skin tones look off; lower TruMotion if fast breaks and quick cuts between camera angles leaves halos.

When the picture misbehaves

  • Move to Ethernet or 5 GHz Wi-Fi before the next one.
  • Drop from the 4K to the HD version of the channel; it needs less than half the bandwidth.
  • Restart the player at a break in play; it clears most freezes in under a minute.

WNBA viewing tips

  • West Coast tip-offs can run past midnight Eastern; catch-up lets you finish the game the next morning.
  • Fast breaks expose a weak connection first. If the picture smears in transition, drop from 4K to HD.
  • Keep the league channel and the national networks next to each other in favorites.
  • Set the player buffer to a medium value, about 2 to 3 seconds, so short dips do not freeze a possession.
