If I understand your question correctly, you would like to connect your SmartTV, via WiFi, to your iPhone/iPad hotspot.


Provided that your subscribed Cellular plan supports hotspot connections (some Cellular Carriers may charge an additional fee - or may not allow hotspot connections), then there is no technical reason why you should not be able to connect to your iPhone/iPad hotspot.


You will need to manually enable the Personal Hotspot:

Settings > Mobile Data > Personal Hotspot > Allow Others to Join - set to OFF


NB: Make a note of the Wi-Fi Password.


From your SmartTV controls, you will need to connect to your WiFi Hotspot - using the Wi-Fi Password that you have obtained from your device.


Be aware that your SmartTV will consume a lot of data when streaming video - which, over a Cellular hotspot, may be very expensive!
