What is TiViMate
TiViMate is a premium-feeling IPTV player for Android-based devices, Amazon Firestick and Fire TV, Android TV boxes and Google TV. It is known for a polished, cable-style guide, smooth channel surfing and strong customisation. Like any player, it has no channels of its own, it plays your CAST IPTV subscription once you add your playlist.
It is not available on iPhone or iPad, so on Apple devices use IPTV Smarters or another player instead. On a TV box with a remote, though, TiViMate is hard to beat.
How to install and set up TiViMate
On a Firestick you install TiViMate using the Downloader app, since it is not always in the Amazon store. Enable Install Unknown Apps for Downloader, open Downloader, enter the official TiViMate download address, and install the APK. On an Android TV box you can often install it straight from the Google Play Store.
Open TiViMate, choose Add Playlist, then Xtream Codes, and enter your server URL, username and password from your welcome email. Allow it to load the EPG so you get the program guide, then arrange your favourites. Our <a href="/installation-guide/">installation guide</a> has the exact steps.
Free vs Premium
TiViMate has a free version that covers the core live TV experience, and a paid Premium version that adds multiple playlists, recording, picture-in-picture and scheduled recordings. For most people the free version is plenty to start. Premium is a one-time-feeling upgrade for power users who want recording and multiple sources.
Tips and troubleshooting
If channels do not appear, double-check the server URL, username and password for typos, since they are case sensitive. If the guide is empty, reload the playlist and let the EPG finish downloading. For the smoothest 4K on a Firestick, use a wired connection or strong 5 GHz Wi-Fi and set hardware decoding.
