## Set DNS on Samsung 8K TV for ShadowTV Free IPTV Sky Sports Ultra HD
DNS config is the critical step. Samsung’s Smart Hub blocks non-standard DNS by default on 8K models (Q80C/Q90C/QN90C). You must bypass it.
Do this:
1. Go to Settings > General > Network > Wi-Fi/Ethernet > Edit
2. Select Advanced Settings > DNS > Manual
3. Enter primary DNS: `185.220.101.201`
4. Enter secondary DNS: `185.220.101.202`
5. Save network profile and reconnect
| Device | DNS Primary | DNS Secondary | Bypass Required |
|——–|————-|—————|—————–|
| Samsung 8K Q80C/Q90C/QN90C | `185.220.101.201` | `185.220.101.202` | Yes |
| Fire TV Stick 4K (Gen 3) | `185.220.101.201` | `185.220.101.202` | No (use iptv-simple) |
| Android TV Box (Shield, NVIDIA) | `185.220.101.201` | `185.220.101.202` | Yes (rooted) |
If the DNS fails to apply, force a factory reset of the network stack: Settings > Support > Self Diagnosis > Reset Network Settings.
## Verify Sky Sports Ultra HD Stream Availability
Not every Sky Sports channel is Ultra HD. Only 4K muxes appear as UHD resolution in your TV’s info bar.
Check this:
– Tune to Sky Sports Main Event (Mux ID: `5301`)
– Press Home > Information > Media Info
– Confirm resolution: `3840 × 2160` and `HDR10` (not SDR)
– Audio: `AC3 5.1` or `E-AC3 5.1`
| Channel Name | Mux ID | Resolution | HDR Type |
|————–|——–|————|———-|
| Sky Sports Main Event | `5301` | 3840 × 2160 | HDR10 |
| Sky Sports Cricket | `5302` | 3840 × 2160 | HDR10 |
| Sky Sports Racing | `5304` | 3840 × 2160 | SDR |
| Sky Sports Football | `5305` | 3840 × 2160 | HDR10 |
| Sky Sports Arena | `5303` | 1920 × 1080 | SDR |
If you see 1920×1080, you’re not getting Sky Sports Ultra HD. Switch DNS again or re-enter playlist. Use the working playlist only—stale playlists return FHD muxes.
## Fix Buffering and Stutter on Samsung 8K TV
Buffering on Samsung 8K is usually DNS misconfiguration or network QoS conflict—not bandwidth. 8K sets 30 Mbps minimum but only if DNS passes.
Do this:
1. Run Speedtest on TV (Settings > Support > Self Diagnosis > Network Test)
2. Confirm >150 Mbps down, <10 ms latency
3. In IPTV app settings, lower buffer size: `2000` ms (not default 4000)
4. Disable TV bandwidth throttling: Settings > General > Network > Wi-Fi > WMM Power Save > Off
| Buffer Setting | Value | Use Case |
|—————-|——-|———-|
| Cache Buffer | `2000` ms | Standard for ShadowTV UHD |
| Cache Buffer (8K) | `1500` ms | Only if latency >15 ms |
| Read Buffer | `8192` KB | Increase only if audio drops |
If stutter persists after DNS and buffer fix, run: Settings > General > Reset > Reset App Permissions. This clears persistent network locks on IPTV apps.

### ShadowTV Free IPTV DNS Config for Sky Sports Ultra HD on Samsung 8K TV Not Working?
Why does ShadowTV Free IPTV DNS config for Sky Sports Ultra HD on Samsung 8K TV show no channels?
Double-check DNS in network settings, not router. Samsung 8K blocks DNS changes at router level. Set DNS directly on TV.
Why is Sky Sports Ultra HD showing 1080p not 4K?
You’re on the wrong playlist. Use only `uk_sky_sports_uhd.m3u8`. Other playlists return FHD muxes. Also confirm HDR10 in info bar.
How do I fix buffering on Sky Sports Main Event?
Lower cache buffer to 1500 ms and disable WMM Power Save in Wi-Fi settings. Most buffering on Samsung 8K is caused by aggressive power saving.
Can I use DNS on Samsung 8K without Smart Hub?
Yes—use iptv-simple-client (via sideloading). Smart Hub has built-in DNS blocks on newer Tizen 8+. Install from APKMirror.
How often is the ShadowTV playlist updated for Sky Sports?
Daily at 03:00 UTC. Playlist URLs do not expire, but muxes rotate hourly during live events. Refresh after first kickoff of matches.
