If you want the cleanest TV experience on your IPTV subscription, TiviMate is the player people swear by. It turns your Android TV box or Firestick into something that feels like a proper smart-TV interface — with a beautiful guide, favourites and multi-view.
Here's exactly how to install and set up TiviMate IPTV Player in minutes.
What Is TiviMate?
TiviMate is a premium IPTV player for Android devices (Firestick, Android TV boxes, tablets and phones). Unlike basic players, it focuses on the live TV experience:
- A polished, grid-style TV guide (EPG)
- Favourite channels and custom groups
- Multi-view — watch up to 4 streams at once
- Recording support (on some devices)
- Catch-up TV where your provider supports it
TiviMate is not an IPTV service itself — it's the app you connect to your IPTV subscription.
Is TiviMate Free?
TiviMate has a free version with core features and a one-off premium unlock (around €10-12 for a lifetime licence, or a cheap annual option). The free version is enough to try it; premium unlocks the full guide, favourites and multi-view.
How to Install TiviMate on Firestick
- Install the Downloader app from the Amazon App Store on your Firestick
- Enable Unknown sources: Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options → Apps from Unknown Sources → ON
- Open Downloader, go to Settings and turn on "JavaScript"
- Enter the official TiviMate APK download URL and install it
- Open TiviMate when the install finishes
Your subscription is unaffected by installing any player — you'll just log in again with the same details. Full step-by-step with screenshots: installation instructions.
How to Set Up TiviMate With Your IPTV Subscription
- Open TiviMate and tap Add playlist
- Choose Xtream Codes or M3U Playlist (same as adding a playlist in any player)
- Enter your provider's server, username and password (or paste your M3U URL)
- TiviMate loads your channels and the EPG automatically
