TiviMate Guide: Setup, Premium Features and the Best Settings
Set up TiviMate on Android TV, Fire TV or Shield, load your Xtream Codes login, and use the TV guide, catch-up, favourites and multi-view like a pro.
TiviMate is a favourite IPTV player on Android TV devices. Its TV guide looks and feels like a cable box, it is fast, and it is designed entirely for the remote control. It does not run on Samsung, LG or Apple devices.
Install
- Android TV, Google TV, NVIDIA Shield: Google Play Store.
- Fire TV: search the Amazon Appstore; if it is not there, install it from the developer's official site with Downloader. See installing apps with Downloader.
Add your playlist
- Open TiviMate and choose Add playlist.
- Choose Xtream Codes.
- Enter the server address (with
http://and the port), username and password. - Choose Next. TiviMate shows how many channels, films and series it found.
- Give the playlist a name and choose Done.
The TV guide loads automatically. Our Xtream Codes guide explains each field.
Free vs Premium
TiviMate is free to install. TiviMate Premium, bought from the developer through the TiviMate Companion app, unlocks the best parts:
- Favourites and custom channel groups
- Catch-up from the TV guide
- Multiple playlists
- Recording (to internal or USB storage)
- Multi-view: watch several channels on one screen
Settings that matter
- Playlist → Manage groups: hide everything you never watch. TiviMate becomes much faster.
- EPG → Update on app start: on. The guide stays current.
- Player → Decoder: keep "Hardware" unless a channel shows a black screen; then try "Software" for that channel.
- Player → Auto frame rate: on, for smooth sport.
- Appearance: choose the TV guide layout that shows the most channels on your screen.
Catch-up from the guide
Move left in the TV guide into the past. Programmes you can replay are marked. Press OK and choose Play. Up to four days back on supported channels. See what catch-up is.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use TiviMate on my phone?
It is designed for TVs. On a phone, IPTV Smarters or OTT Navigator are easier.
Why does TiviMate show "No EPG"?
The guide is still loading, or the channel has no guide data. Update the EPG from the playlist settings.
Is TiviMate Premium paid to SivaIPTV?
No, it is paid to TiviMate's developer. Your SivaIPTV subscription is separate.
