TiviMate is often considered the most pleasant IPTV player on a TV. Its interface looks like a classic cable box, with a real program guide. Here is how to install and set it up in a few minutes.
Which devices?
TiviMate is designed for living-room devices: Android TV, Google TV, Android boxes, Nvidia Shield and Fire TV Stick. It is not meant for smartphones. On a Fire TV Stick, also follow our Firestick IPTV guide.
Install TiviMate
Open your device’s store (Google Play or Amazon Appstore), search for “TiviMate IPTV Player” and install it. Then launch the app: a wizard invites you to add your first playlist.
Add your subscription
- Choose “Add playlist”, then the Xtream Codes or M3U type.
- For Xtream, enter the server address, username and password. For M3U, paste the full link.
- Confirm: TiviMate loads the channels and TV guide, then shows the program grid.
The Xtream format is the most convenient, because the TV guide updates automatically.
Free or Premium?
The free version lets you watch live TV with the TV guide. The paid Premium version, activated through the developer’s companion app on an Android phone, adds features such as multiple playlists, catch-up, recording and advanced favorites. Compare the terms on the official page before buying.
Tips for a smooth TiviMate
- Connect the device over Ethernet or use 5 GHz Wi-Fi.
- Set the TV guide to update once a day.
- Hide unused channel groups for a cleaner list.
- Clear the cache if the app slows down.
