TiviMate Setup Guide: Features, Pricing and How to Use It

TiviMate offers the best live-TV guide experience of any IPTV player on Android TV and Fire TV — a fast, cable-style program guide, customizable channel groups and favorites — though its full feature set requires a one-time premium unlock, and there's no iOS or Samsung/LG version.

What makes TiviMate different

Unlike more general-purpose players, TiviMate is built specifically as a TV-box interface, with a guide that scrolls and looks closer to a traditional cable box than most competing apps. It rewards households that watch primarily on a Fire TV or Android TV device rather than switching between phone and TV often.

How to set it up

1. Install TiviMate from the Google Play Store (Android TV) or sideload it via Downloader on Firestick — see the Firestick setup guide for the sideloading steps.
2. Open the app and select Add Playlist.
3. Choose Xtream Codes (recommended) or M3U URL, and enter your subscription details.
4. Wait for the channel list and EPG to sync, then organize channels into custom groups if you like.

Free vs premium

• Free tier — full live TV, VOD and EPG functionality; entirely usable day to day.
• Premium unlock — adds multi-screen view, custom EPG themes, and a few interface conveniences, via a one-time purchase rather than a subscription.

Why no iOS or Smart TV version?

TiviMate is deliberately scoped as TV-box software rather than a cross-platform app. If you need iOS or Samsung/LG support on the same subscription, pair TiviMate on your main TV device with IPTV Smarters Pro or GSE Smart IPTV elsewhere — the same login works in both.

Using TiviMate with TiviStation

TiviStation subscriptions load into TiviMate the same way as any Xtream-Codes-compatible player. For a broader comparison against IPTV Smarters Pro and others, see best IPTV player apps compared.
