The following guide will show you how to install TiviMate on Firestick, Fire TV, and Google/Android TV devices.
This article also provides setup instructions and tips to help you get the most out of TiviMate on your preferred device.
We provide both a screenshot guide and a video tutorial that covers all aspects of this fabulous application. We highly recommend watching the video for additional details.
TiviMate Update V5.3.3
TiviMate has been updated to the latest version 5.3.3 (June 2026) with new improvements and enhancements. You can install the latest update using our guides below.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Some users have reported issues with the latest TiviMate update, including problems with certain features and functionality. If your current version is working well, you may want to hold off on updating for now.

What is TiviMate?
TiviMate is one of the most popular IPTV Players available today and has been for over a decade. If you subscribe to an IPTV Service, you are missing out if you don’t give TiviMate a try!
While the app alone does not contain live channels for streaming, users can integrate an M3U URL or an Xtream Code URL and access available media.
Check with your current IPTV Service Provider to see if they grant access to their M3U URL/Xtream Code API before going through this guide.
After integrating your platform within TiviMate, you can use it as a streamlined platform to watch your live channels in a central location with advanced features.
It functions in the same manner as popular Streaming Apps/APKs with dedicated categories, subcategories, and a Program Guide to enhance your overall viewing experience.
The best way to see if it is right for you is by installing it using our guide and testing it out on your preferred device!
TiviMate offers both a free and a premium version of the service that currently costs $33.99 for a lifetime subscription. This includes 5 simultaneous connections.
TROYPOINT suggests purchasing a premium account as it unlocks tons of features not found in the free option.
NOTE: There has recently been a surge of various IPTV Providers promoting a free version of the TiviMate app. This Premium Mod APK has been cloned from the original and should be used with caution.
TiviMate Premium Features
Those who opt for the Premium plan are provided with over a dozen valuable features including:
- Scheduled recordings
- Custom recurring recordings
- Support for multiple playlists
- Backup/Restore
- UI Customization
- External Video Player
- Parental Controls
- Picture-in-Picture
- Favorites management
- Catch-up
- Customizable TV Guide update intervals
- Customizable Panels transparency and timeout
- Customize Groups and Channels
- Manual Channels sorting
- Turning on the last channel on app start
- Auto frame rate (AFR)
- Reminder to automatically play the channel
- Many More
As you can see, without the upgrade, there isn’t much sense in using the app.
We suggest first installing the free app via the instructions below. If you like it, you can register for the premium release via the Companion App and we cover that as well in this article.
In this guide, we are using an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max. Since TiviMate is not available in the Amazon App Store, we must first jailbreak our Firestick to side-load this app.
This will also work for Android/Google TV Boxes, but it is important to note that TiviMate is not fully compatible with mobile phones/tablets so we suggest an alternative for these devices.

How to Set Up TiviMate Premium
After the app installation is complete, we can open the app and authorize an IPTV Service for use.
NOTE: Initializing an IPTV Service within TiviMate requires an M3U URL or Xtream Code. This can usually be found in your service welcome e-mail or by contacting customer support.
While there is a free version available for use without a subscription package, those who choose to use the free app will miss out on tons of fabulous features.
For example, if you try adding a channel or channels to favorites, you will be prompted with the following message:
For those who wish to use the free version, simply click Cancel and continue using the app at no charge.
However, if you purchase the premium option through the Companion app, we can log in for added benefits.
If you need to create an account, you can follow the instructions below on how to do so through the Google Play Store.
Step 1 – Install TiviMate Companion App
As noted, the premium version is currently only available in the form of a lifetime subscription. The cost is $33.99.
This covers up to 5 devices which you can manage within the Companion App.
Prior to initializing Premium, users must register for an Account via the Companion App. This app is only available in the Google Play Store, therefore must be installed on Android Device or through BlueStacks or another Android emulator.
NOTE: Users can also sign up for Premium on the official TiviMate website prior to installing the companion app.
If you do not have an Android phone or device, you must install the BlueStacks emulator on your PC to access the Google Play Store.
How To Install Android Apps on PC
IMPORTANT: If you’re using a generic Android TV Box with stock Android, you can install the Companion app through the Google Play Store. Devices running the true Android TV operating system such as NVIDIA SHIELD don’t include this app so you will need to set up an account on an Android phone, tablet, or through BlueStacks as shown below.
Once installed, use the instructions below to set up a premium account.
1. Open the Google Play Store on your Android Device. We are using Bluestacks in this tutorial on my Windows PC. Search for “tivimate companion” and select the first choice.
2. Click Install.
3. Wait for the app to install.
4. Click Open.
5. Click Account.
6. Enter your preferred username and password and select Sign up.

1. From the home screen, select Settings.
2. Choose Unlock Premium.
3. Click Next.
4. Choose Account.
5. Enter your login credentials.
6. Click Next.
7. Enter the device name of your choice and click Activate.
8. Click OK.
That’s it! Once logged in, you will have access to all advanced features of the app for an enjoyable live-streaming experience.
TiviMate Premium – Details, Features, & Settings
Upon installing TiviMate, you will immediately notice the unique interface it provides. This is what truly sets it apart from other IPTV Players and we cover some of the best features below.
The menu bar on the left lists your Playlist Categories or “Groups” as they are referred to in the app. These can be hidden, removed, and managed all within the Settings. This is a great way to eliminate any unwanted Channel lists that you don’t use or need.
With this app, users can integrate multiple services or “Playlists” within the app meaning you can combine two or more Services into one!
This is a great way to ensure your live streaming is always available and manage your favorite channels across multiple platforms.
Navigation
Navigating this app is a breeze when using your streaming device’s remote. If using a Firestick, the following options are available:
- Select Button: Opens Channel
- Back Button: Shows Groups/Return to Guide
- Left Button: Scrolls to Previous Program
- Right Button: Scrolls to Next Program
- Up Button: Scrolls Up through Channels
- Down Button: Scrolls Down through Channels
- Rewind Button: Scrolls Channels Up without changing the channel
- Fast Forward: Scrolls Channels Down without changing the channel
After playing a Channel, clicking the select button will generate various options:
This includes the ability to view recent channels and quick select as well as re-open the TV Guide with your current channel playing in the background:
Groups
The Groups options within TiviMate sets it apart from other IPTV apps. Using this to your advantage is a great way to condense your TV streaming experience.
To edit these, simply open the TV Guide and click the Menu Button (3 horizontal lines) on your remote. Then click Group options:
Select Manage groups
To remove an unwanted or unused Group, simply switch the toggle off:
Only highlighted groups will now be visible on the left-side menu bar of the home screen. To adjust the order of these, simply click Manage positions:
Click to highlight and adjust the group position to your preference! We suggest using the Favorites Tab at the top for a personal streaming experience.
NOTE: TROYPOINT recommends adding your preferred channels to Favorites to get the most out of this app. This will enable all navigational features to work within the Favorites “Group” meaning all scrolling and selection will be through your Favorite Channels!
Favorites
There are a few ways to add a Channel to Favorites.
The first option is to long click when playing a Channel and selecting “Add to Favorites”
Or, if you would like to add multiple channels quickly, simply press the Menu button from the TV Guide to prompt the following options:
After making a channel selection, users have numerous options within the player.
You can easily access the channel list by clicking the down button.
This will prompt quick access to the Channel list without returning to the EPG.
EPG (Electronic Program Guide)
Using the built-in EPG is the best way to browse through your channel selections and more.
Here is the recommended method to set up the EPG within TiviMate.
- Open Settings and select EPG
- Click Past Days to Keep EPG and set it to 1
- Update Intervals – 24 hours
- Update on app start – Off
- Update on Playlist Change – On
Picture in Picture
Another fabulous feature available is the Picture-in-Picture setting that will let you browse other apps/tools on your device while continuing to stream live content.
You can find this in the full-screen mode of your preferred channel.
This will keep TiviMate playing in the background while you are able to access other options on your preferred device!
TiviMate Settings
Within the Settings are the following provided options:
There are a few options within the app’s settings that are worth checking out. One thing we suggest is enabling the confirmation message prior to exiting out.
This way, you will not accidentally close the app by pressing the back button too many times:
Another feature to note is the auto-update option for the TV guide. This will ensure your guide is always up to date:
Parental Controls
For those who wish to use Parental Controls, these can also be established within the Parental controls Category.
This includes setting and using a PIN Number for access. These can be adjusted to require PIN for Playlists, TV Guide, Group options, and more.
To go along with the Parental Controls is also the ability to block various channels.
you can find this option within the Settings of any channel.
Within the Settings option are tons of features and options that will help you get the most out of your Live TV experience.
Adjusting these will help cater the app to your specific preferences. We suggest checking out all of these Categories to ensure the app is set to your liking.
Subtitles
While other IPTV players fall short when it comes to Closed Captioning, TiviMate does not.
That being said, working subtitles will vary from Channel to Channel within the app.
How To Enable Subtitles:
- Open and play your preferred content.
- Long-press the Select button on your remote to open options and choose CC.
- Change toggle from “Off” to “Closed captions 1”.
- Subtitles will now load for your content.
TiviMate External Video Player
Another excellent feature that TiviMate provides is the ability to use external video players.
This is something we don’t always see in IPTV Players that usually have a built-in video player.
Users can easily choose to “open in external player” after making a channel selection.
We could go on and on about all of the features TiviMate provides, however, your best bet is to try it yourself to see just how extensive these options are!
Recording Capabilities
In my opinion, one of the best features of this application is the ability to schedule recordings. Guess what?
You can even schedule multiple recordings at the same time!
Use the link below that features an exclusive video guide that will tell you everything you need to know to record IPTV on your preferred device:
NOTE: Prior to recording it’s important to make sure you have a USB Drive that’s properly formatted as FAT32.
How to Format USB Drive to FAT32
TiviMate has 3 recording options that all work fairly well. This includes live recording while watching, live recording while on channel guide, and scheduled recordings.
If you wish to schedule a recording, you will want to select “Custom Recording” within the channel guide by long pressing the select button on your remote. This will allow you to choose New Recording and then schedule recording to select your channel and timeframe.
Remote Settings
Because there are so many things you can do with the TiviMate interface, it may get confusing which buttons you should use to access all of the various features provided.
Pictured below is a simple remote guide that shows you what all of the buttons on your firestick will do when you are within the TiviMate interface.
If you use another device, such as Android or Google TV, these options will be similar and should work well for quick access to various settings/features in your application.
Audio Sync
For those who have audio issues when the channel you are watching and the audio don’t match up, we can adjust this with the audio sync by clicking the select button on your remote within a channel and adjusting the offset up or down until it matches the video.
Overall, the possibilities within the TiviMate APK are endless. Because of its easy navigation and fast streaming abilities, it is sure to be a favorite among all IPTV users.
Access Your Account on the TiviMate Official Website
Recently, the developer has created an official website for the application that provides a few details and screenshots with information. However, the best use of this website is the ability to login to your TiviMate premium account and view all activated devices.
Users can also pay for a Premium subscription on the official website with lifetime access for up to 5 devices.
TiviMate uses the Link Payment system, but you can also choose to pay with a different method (such as Credit Card) when going through the purchase process.
As noted, a Premium subscription currently costs $33.99 plus tax when applicable.
TiviMate Imposters
It is important to note that there are many imposters out there who are using the TiviMate name to try and sell IPTV Subscriptions.
The app itself does not provide any content for streaming and only functions as an advanced video player for live channels.
Unfortunately, it seems that some are making money off of the name by creating an IPTV Service titled “TiviMate IPTV Player” that appears in search results online.
If you come across a website claiming to offer live channels and using the TiviMate name, make sure to avoid it at all costs.
As noted above, the app itself does not host any content whatsoever, and anything that offers live channels is a scam.
STAY FAR AWAY FROM THESE WEBSITES AND DO NOT FOR ANY REASON INPUT PAYMENT INFORMATION FOR THEIR SERVICES.
Only use the guide above to install TiviMate as it originates from the Official source and only pay for it via the Companion App which we describe.
Finishing Thoughts
As we noted earlier, the TiviMate APK is the premier choice for those who use IPTV Services with extensive features, added abilities, and a fabulous layout that you can dive into for an advanced viewing experience.
TROYPOINT has always recommended it as the top choice for watching live media as it is compatible with nearly all service providers and is continually updated by the developer.

I just set up TiviMate with my IPTV package. Everything seems to work fine but I get no EPG. Anybody know what I can do?
Thanks
Need help!!! I have the latest Tivimate (5.0.4) installed on an Android tablet (Android 13) in my car and the app is shifted to the right. It prevents me from seeing the full image of the videos and also prevents me from seeing the settings. Is there any known fixes?
Hi Troy, since V504 came out and got updated on my nvidia shield pro. I can no longer even load in the Stream codes. I contacted my iptv provider and crawled they for the last few days.. Then I pursued T-mobile support and got kudos for how fast my connection was. But no other really useful help. I have crawled through my T-mobile KVD21 Gateway and see nothing here to help. I use a tp-link axe7800 to handle the bulk of my connections. I have bypassed the tp-link. Got the same results. I have reloaded the TiviMate sever times. Now have just completed a full refresh of the Nvidia shield tv pro.
Again getting same results. msg “error” “”HttpDataSource$HttpDataSourceExceotion”
“An error occurred while processing the playlist. Make sure you have entered the correct data and check your internet connection.”
Is there any way to provide data for someone to determine what is happening.?
Then is there a way to go back to the previous released version?
Thanks Brent
What is Tivimate website?
If you already have an older version of TiViMate, then it should automatically update without having to download a newer version. Mine did on my NVIDIA Shield Pro.
Hello, I am trying to install TiviMate on my new Fire cube. All steps work great until step 6 of “Step 2 – Setup TiviMate”. When I click on the download button I get the following error: “An unknown error has occuured. Check your url and connection”. I validated my connection is good and the url shows: “https://troypoint.com/troypoint-toolbox/” as per the previous steps in the instructions. I tried downloading the version 5.0.3 and 4.7 and I get the same error. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi there,
I would try disconnecting your VPN when installing and then reconnecting.
Can you only pay thru Google play store for tivimate? Issue is signing up with a non Gmail Addy and it will not let me change email or take my password. 1st timer.
What’s the link or address to the official Tivimate website? Please and thank you
There are a few minor misstatements of fact posted in this article. For example, TiViMate does not install on just any Android device. It will not install on my Android cell phone (Galaxy S Ultra). I found out that it was not designed for the Android cell phone. For my cell phone, I use the premium version of Televizo which is very good.
Dear Sir I have a paid subscription of Tivimate when i load it on a firestick there is a button to install update you can set it on or off. I also have a Ugoos am 7 media box but there is no button to activate update. any information will be helpful.
I am finding it virtually impossible to download Companion, what a crazy runaround. Stupid Google Play won’t let me register in order to get it. Couldn’t download it via Aptoide either. I don’t get how anyone has been able to find a workaround. The developer should give Google the middle finger, Google are CONTROL.FREAkS. As if we want that spy agency to know everything we do…
I am using firestick 4k Max and have USB flash drive flormated by the firestick to use with my apps.
That drive does not show up on Tivi mate as a external brive that I cam record on.
Will fat 32 work on my firestick?? how can i use a external drive for both ?
Hi Dennis, please use the TROYPOINT Insider for support as the note above indicates. Thank you. https://troypointinsider.com
Hello Troypoint,
May you please let me know if I can install Tivimate on my Amazon Fire Tablet?
Thank you,
I did it through my phone. Download it and then pay. Then you click refresh on the phone and it should work on the firestick after a minute or so
I have it on my Fire HD 10 tablet, but I debloated the tablet about a year ago.
Another way would be to send it to your tablet via the Send Anywhere App.
Disclaimer: Not sure if the new tablets can be debloated or not?
What is the pin i need to add
I just subscribed to the paid version if TiviMate. Before subscribing, I used the free version and all channels that had content worked fine. Now with the paid service, I get “An error occurred: MediaCodecVideoDecoderException” .
I get video and audio by using an VLC as an external player. It’s clunky to have to choose to run every show through an external player. Why didn’t the included player work, and how can I choose the external player by default? Thanks
Hi Dave, I would suggest asking this question in our free Insider Forum with other cord-cutters who also use TiviMate – https://troypointinsider.com/
Force stop>clear cache> reboot. If no joy, try changing your audio and video decoder settings found in “Playback” and see if that will fix the issue. If not, then you can set your playback option found in “Playback” to “Yes” and then select always when the external playback prompt comes up.
Just keep in mind, once you choose the “Always” option it becomes a hassle to change it back to being able to choose the “Once Only” option. You may need to clear data and then restore. Which, by the way, you should save a backup for your Tivimate just in case you ever need to restore your playlists and favorites, etc..
Troy,
Thank you very much for all the tutorials. These are the best for information about streaming, players, etc.
I am trying to install Tivimate premium. That needs Tivimate Companion. There seem to be several versions. ON Google store there is one from Armobsoft FZE. It now charges 7.99 for a month and 24.99 for lifetime. Did the prices go up from 4.99/19.99 or are these independent vendors charging different, whatever they can get away with. It is like a jungle.
What are your latest recommendations for getting the Premium.
how to get adult channels with tivimate
Hello, You would need to get a iptv provider, see the list from troys guide. They all typically come with those channels.
any channels from spain on tivimate?
Hello, You would need to find a provider that has international channels, which alot do.
Has anyone had difficulty updating Tivimate 4.30 to 4.40 on their Shield TV? Google Play continues to tell me it’s an update, but when I try and install it, it repeatedly doesn’t work and keeps asking me to try again. I’d like to be able to update the app without having to completely uninstall it and then have to put all my playlist information in the 4.40 version.
You can update the app through the app itself within settings. You won’t need to uninstall and all your settings are unchanged.
What all do I need to download on Firestick TV 4K Max for premium Tivimate? Companion?
I have installed the tivimate companion app on my fire stick.
I fil in my credentials…email & password,…when I click to pay
I get an error , because I don’t have google pay
are there alternative ways to pay for the premium account
Hi there,
You’ll have to follow the guide above with Bluestacks.
Will you publish the news, when TiviMate is available for my Samsung Smart TV?
I want to trivimate on different iptvs. There is just one logo for Trivimate; how can I differentiate between iptvs?
This is done by adding playlists, under settings, playlists, add playlist. I currently have 5 different IPTV services. Each one is a different selection with drop down list. Doing this on TiviMate is way better than using IPTVSmarters, where one would need to create a “profile” for each service.
For some reason, I am having difficulty finding the Companion App to activate the premium service. I have a Firestick and cannnot locate the companion App
I did it through my phone. Download it and then pay. Then you click refresh on the phone and it should work on the firestick after a minute or so
Very comprehensive article. I have TiviMate Premium and having a problem getting the channel logos to load. I have spent hours and hours using the program M3u4u to add all the logos to my service, downloaded the file to a USB drive and connected this drive to my Firestick 4K via an OTG cable. In TiviMate, I went to Settings>Appearance>preferred location>chose folder and directed it to the location of the M3U file I put on the USB drive. The logos still won’t load. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Mark, I’d suggest asking that question in our free Insider Forum – https://troypointinsider.com/
How do I get a supplier for tivimate please
Hi John, you need a live TV service with an IPTV player like TiviMate – https://troypoint.com/iptv/
https://troypoint.com/iptv/
I just paid for premium and I have not received the M3U link of server link, please any advice on what to do?
Hi there,
Your M3U link comes from your IPTV Service Provider.
External players not working and no sound on some channels and they work on iptv smarters. I have 2 IPTV services and it’s do the same on both. I have premium and have uninstalled and reinstalled a couple time still not working properly.
I subscribed to TiviMate Premium on the recommendation of Troypoint and I’m sorry I did. I wanted to be able to schedule recordings which I can do with it, but for the most part, the app itself sucks as most channels buffer or play really choppy streams. Try watching a hockey game and it’s infuriating. Who or where do we complain to at TiviMate to get them to fix their app to play the IPTV streams the way the should be played. Thanks, I’ll watch for your answer(s)
Mark,
This has nothing to do with TiviMate. TiviMate is simply just a player. This is your IPTV Service that is having issues.
I’ve followed the install and have Tivi installed and configured on Fire hd tv cube 11th gen…..all seems good to playlist & epg BUT.. I cannot play anything. I get the spinning wheel and error 401. I have premium version installed and updated, working epgand many many channels….still get 401 error
I was just wondering why the tivimate tv guide is displaying “no information” for most channels even though I have purchased the premium version and am logged in. Anyone experiencing the same?
Information on your guide is dependent on the service provided. Your iptv updates that. It also takes time to fully load.
Exactly the same problem. Entered correctly the M3U URL and still no joy
I can not get the EPG to show up, have tried the backup and delete data and restore but I can’t get it to show which makes recording impossible. Any suggestions? Their support is not responding.
I can get any program information on my guide
The EPG data comes from your IPTV service not from Tivimate. You will need to contact support for your streaming service to assist you. There’s nothing Tivimate support can do. It does take a good amount of time for the information to load especially if you have a slow internet connection. Do a speed test to make sure your internet speeds are fast enough. I pay for 2 different streaming services and more often than not the EPG data on one of my services just shows “No information available”. The other service consistently loads the EPG data without issue. I’m still able to record on the channels that show no information, i simply setup the recording for the channel and time I want and it records it.
