This guide demonstrates how to install and use the TiviMate IPTV Player on FireStick and Android TV boxes. The installation steps work on all Fire TV devices, including All New FireStick 4K, All New 4K Max, FireStick Lite, and Fire TV Cube.
What’s TiviMate?
TiviMate IPTV Player is a powerful IPTV streaming app for Android TV devices. With TiviMate, you can watch TV by adding playlists from your favorite IPTV service providers.
TiviMate supports the following types of playlists:
- Xtreme codes
- M3U playlists
- Stalker portal
TiviMate features a simple interface split into seven sections: Search, TV, Movies, TV Shows, DVR, Favorites, and Settings. Each main section swiftly expands and collapses as you explore and minimize them for easy navigation.
TiviMate is free to download on your Android TV device, but a premium version unlocks multiple features.
Attention IPTV Users!
Governments and ISPs across the world monitor their users' online activities. If you use third-party IPTV services, you should always use a good IPTV VPN and hide your identity so your streaming experience doesn’t take a bad turn. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone.
I use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN in the industry. It is very easy to install on any device, including Amazon Fire TV Stick, PC, Mac, and Smartphones. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you don't like their service, you can always ask for a refund. ExpressVPN also has a special deal where you can get 4 months free and save 61% on the 2-year plan.

Is TiviMate Safe & Legal?
TiviMate is 100% safe as it’s available on the Google Play Store. However, TiviMate’s unavailability in the Amazon App Store makes FireStick users a bit skeptical about it.
At FireStickTricks.com, we want to assure you that TiviMate is safe for your device, and you can sideload it without any issues.
To double-check TiviMate APK’s safety, I ran it through Virus Total, a famous online virus checker. As expected, no security vendor on the website red-flagged it – here’s the proof:
TiviMate is an IPTV player that doesn’t come with any built-in channels. Instead, it lets you add playlists you have purchased from IPTV service providers. So, it’s 100% legal to use.
At FireStickTricks.com, we recommend purchasing IPTV from only verifiable providers that don’t operate in the gray area.
However, if you are unsure about the legitimacy of your IPTV service provider, you can use a trusted VPN like ExpressVPN. A VPN will act as a protection layer to hide your TiviMate activity and keep you safe on the internet.

Getting Started with TiviMate IPTV Player
TiviMate IPTV Player should be your first choice for streaming channels via your subscribed IPTV service. So, I advise placing the app on the FireStick home screen for easy access.
To get started, you need an active subscription to an IPTV service. TiviMate does not offer content to users on its own.
Note: Setting up an IPTV service in TiviMate may not work when connected to a VPN. Disconnect the VPN, add the IPTV service, and reconnect the VPN.
Select Add playlist.
TiviMate will ask you to add a playlist using an M3U link, Xtream code, or Stalker Portal. I’m selecting the M3U playlist because my IPTV provider uses this technology.
Note: When you subscribe to an IPTV service, you will receive an email with relevant login information and an M3U link. If you don’t get an M3U link, try contacting customer support and requesting one.
TiviMate will ask for your M3U link. Enter your M3U link and press Next.
Note: Most M3U links contain a username and password. They look something like this: http://013tv.com:8080/get.php?username=test-65927c&password=e657&type=m3u_plus&output=ts
Pro tip: For your convenience, you can connect your FireStick to the Fire TV app on your iPhone or Android smartphone (here’s how to do it). The app lets you quickly type long URLs using your phone’s default keyboard.
Click Next.
TiviMate will load the IPTV service and show you the number of channels and movies available in the IPTV package. You can also select the Playlist name to change it. Once you’ve done this, click Next to continue.
Note: You can select TV or VOD playlists depending on the nature of your IPTV service.
If your IPTV provider provides an EPG URL, enter it in this window. Select Enter URL, enter the URL, and click Next. Once you’ve completed the process, select Done to save the playlist.
Lastly, note the remote control navigation instructions and click OK to finish the setup.
How to Use TiviMate IPTV Player on FireStick
The IPTV service’s content appears in the TiviMate app in a few minutes.
By default, you reach TiviMate’s TV section. You can access sub-sections such as All channels, Undefined, Sports, General, Music, News, Entertainment, and more there.
Next, we have the Movies section, which has multiple sub-sections where you can access the VOD content of your IPTV playlist.
Next, we have Recordings. Here, you can access the content you have recorded.
How to Enable Default EPG in TiviMate IPTV Player
Most IPTV services have a dedicated EPG (electronic program guide). If the TiviMate app doesn’t have an EPG enabled, go to Settings and select EPG.
Then, enable Default source.
However, TiviMate’s significant features are behind a paywall. To enjoy its full potential, you must pay for the premium version.
Purchase & Setup TiviMate Premium using Tivimate Companion
TiviMate offers a 5-day trial of the premium version, which costs $4.99 annually for up to 5 devices. You can also opt for the lifetime version, which costs $19.99. I advise you to start with the one-year purchase, and then, if you’re satisfied with the features, consider purchasing a lifetime TiviMate Premium.
You can’t purchase TiviMate Premium from its FireStick app. You must use the TiviMate Companion app from the Google Play Store.
Since the app is available on Android devices, the easiest way to get TiviMate Premium is to use an Android phone or tablet (or even Android TV). If you can’t access an Android device, you can use an Android emulator called BlueStacks on a PC or macOS.
Follow the steps below to purchase a TiviMate Premium subscription.
1. Go to TiviMate Settings and click Unlock Premium.
2. Select Next.
3. Click Account.
4. Choose Sign up.
5. Enter your Email, Password, and Re-enter Password. Then, click Create account.
6. Keep this screen open on your FireStick. Open the Play Store on your Android device. Tap the search bar at the top and search for TiviMate Companion. Then, install the app on your device.
Now, follow these steps:
- Open the app. It will ask you to create an account. Click the Account button.
- Enter your TiviMate account details and click Login.
- Select one plan and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the payment.
- Once you have purchased the subscription, click Next on the TiviMate Subscription screen in Step 6 to continue.
TiviMate Details and Features
The TiviMate app is an IPTV player. As expected, the built-in video player is one of its prime selling points. The video player is feature-rich and perfectly complements the rest of the app. You can also add multiple IPTV services to the TiviMate app.
You can also mark your favorite multiple channels from IPTV services and view them from the Favorites menu. I recommend you utilize the Groups and Favorites functions so you don’t have to search thousands of TV channels to find your desired content.
Record Content
TiviMate IPTV Player allows you to record content and view it later. If you don’t have time to watch something now, you can hit the Record button in the video player and view it later from the Recordings tab on the TiviMate app’s home screen.
Enable Subtitles
To enable subtitles, hit the CC (closed captions) button in the player menu and turn it on in the sliding menu.
Add to Favorites
There are multiple ways to add a channel to your favorites in the TiviMate Player app. Our go-to method is using the Add to Favorites button within the video player.
Multi-view Mode
TiviMate also allows you to view multiple channels simultaneously. From the player menu, select Multi-view and then select another channel to view two channels simultaneously.
Sleep Timer
This is a must-have for any IPTV app. A sleep timer turns off the app after a set amount of time. I’m glad to see the sleep timer built right into the player menu. Press the stopwatch icon on the video player screen and select the time from the right-side menu.
Users can automatically put the TiviMate app to sleep for 15 to 240 minutes. This feature is useful, for example, when children watch TV before bed. You can set a half-hour timer and shut down the app.
Check Video Details
By default, the TiviMate Player offers details on video quality, number of frames per second (FPS), and sound quality.
Change App Appearance
You can change the TiviMate app’s default look and theme if you are unhappy with it. Go to Settings and click Appearance. Here, you can easily change multiple aspects of the current look, such as the TV guide, font size, background color, and even selection color.
The list above is just the tip of the iceberg for the TiviMate app. A premium subscription unlocks dozens of valuable features. For more details, see the article’s overview section.

How much is this app?
Hi Selina,
The TiviMate app is free by itself, but this IPTV player offers both free and premium services. TiviMate premium costs $4.99 USD per year for up to 5 devices, with the option to purchase lifetime access for $19.99 USD. You can find a list of TiviMate’s premium services in this section of the article.
Hello! A couple of old seniors here, which should tell you that we aren’t good with technology. Anyway, we had TVMate on a firestick and had the free streaming services loaded (Tubi, Pluto, etc) Now we are on a different streaming stick and I can’t find my list of MU3 codes for those services. Is there a place to get the MU3 codes? Also, I till don’t know/understand what the “Xtream codes, and Stalker Portal” is or means. Would this be easier on my old eyes than trying to enter the long MU3 codes?
Hi Jim,
The M3U codes that you used with your FireStick would be located within the welcome emails you received when you subscribed to your IPTV services. If your IPTV services use Xtream codes or Stalker Portal codes, they will also be included alongside the M3U codes within the welcome emails. Hope this helps!
Hi! I’m new to all of this and have firestick, Apollo group tv and just got tivimate and premium. How do I make my guide populate with information for what is on each channel? I can’t seem to figure that out. Thank you!
Hi Danielle,
If you haven’t already done this, search for the original email you received from Apollo Group TV and follow the steps provided to integrate Apollo Group TV into TiviMate. If you’ve already integrated Apollo Group TV into TiviMate and you’re still having trouble, I would suggest contacting TiviMate for help in resolving this issue. Hope this helps!
Paid 1 time subscription 24 hours ago and still unable to regain my favorites or anything premium related. i have had premium for 2 years. When I log in it still shows expired subscription yet they took my money. Is there a support contact for tivimate companion?
Hi Carol. It may take a little longer for your subscription to be recognized again. Unfortunately, there is no support contact for TiviMate. If the issues persists, I would suggest contacting your bank.
Salut Patrick, si Tivimate est un IPTV, pourquoi je dois en avoir un autre? Merci, bonne journée.
Hi France. TiviMate is an IPTV player, not an IPTV provider. You can’t simply download TiviMate on a compatible device and watch TV channels or movies. You need an IPTV service that supports one of the three integration methods mentioned.
I paid tivimate still not got user passwords to get in
Hi John, you should have a TiviMate account before paying for a subscription. You might already have an account, can you go to the app and check to see if you are signed in?
Many thanks Patrick for a very informative and interesting explanation of the various iptv services etc etc that are available. I found the guide extremely useful. Thank you
