How to watch

Whether it plays 4K depends on the model, so check the spec sheet before choosing 4K feeds. For action sports, 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.

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: 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

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 ESPN and ABC to favorites.
  • Play one of those channels for a few minutes well before the first run to confirm the picture is steady.

Picture settings that matter

On Samsung TVs, Picture Clarity Settings (Auto Motion Plus on older models) control motion smoothing. For action sports, try the Sports picture mode, and lower the smoothing if riders spinning through the air against a moving background leaves trails.

Getting more out of X Games

  • 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.
  • 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.

If the stream stutters

  • Drop from the 4K to the HD version of the channel; it needs less than half the bandwidth.
  • Run a speed test on the Samsung Smart TV. Under 25 Mbps, stick with HD for X Games.
  • Pause other downloads and video calls in the house during the broadcast.
