TiviMate IPTV Player—Install & Set up on FireStick & Android TV

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 a TiviMate IPTV Player?

Unlike cable TV, IPTV services offer live TV channels from multiple regions at a relatively low price. However, many don’t have standalone apps. Instead, they provide access via login credentials, m3u links, xtreme codes, etc. They rely on IPTV players like Tivimate.

Made for Android TV devices and FireSticks, TiviMate is an IPTV player that lets you connect and manage your IPTV services.

TiviMate supports:

• Xtreme codes
• M3U playlists
• Stalket portal
• And much more

TiviMate features a clean interface that expands and collapses as you explore and minimize folders, sub-folders, menus, etc. You can easily navigate playlists, channel sections, video player menus, and more.

TiviMate’s EPG feature lets you get a detailed schedule of your favorite channels and create a personalized favorites playlist to access them quickly.

Overall, TiviMate is a simple yet powerful IPTV player with many features.

Features of TiviMate IPTV Player

Here are some features of the TiviMate IPTV Player:

Is TiviMate Safe & Legal?

TiviMate is a widely used IPTV player known for its functionality and user-friendly interface. Addressing concerns about its safety and legality is crucial.

TiviMate must be safe as it is available on the Google Play Store. However, it is not available on the Amazon Store. You sideload the APK from an external source.

Therefore, before installing the APK, always scan it with an antivirus. The following image shows the scan result of TiviMate APK with Virus Total. All security vendors have given it a green signal.

TiviMate is a legal application designed to function as a player for legitimate IPTV services. However, the legality of the content you access through TiviMate depends on the source. If TiviMate is used to access copyrighted content without proper authorization, copyright laws may be infringed.

If you have doubts, use a VPN service like ExpressVPN. A VPN can enhance online security and privacy, masking your IP address and encrypting your internet connection. The added layer of protection provided by a VPN can help safeguard your online activities, including when using apps like TiviMate.

TiviMate is officially not available on the Amazon App Store. That’s why users depend on sideloading to install the app on their devices. The sideloading steps are divided into two parts to make it easier to follow.

Preparing Fire TV to Sideload TiviMate

Firstly, we need to get the Downloader app on the FireStick. Then, we’ll make the necessary changes in our Fire TV settings. The quick steps are as follows:

1. Select Magnifying Glass on FireStick home. Then, open the Search box. Start typing Downloader. Select Downloader appeared among the suggestions below the keyboard.

Next, select the Downloader app, which you can recognize by its orange background. On the next screen, select the Get or Download button.

2. On FireStick home, select the Settings Gear on the far right. Then scroll down and select My Fire TV. Choose Developer Options.

You will see one of the following two options depending on your FireStick device version:

• Option 1 - Install Unknown Apps: Click it and proceed to the next step to enable Downloader.
• Option 2 - Apps from Unknown Sources: Click this option and then click Turn On on the following prompt. Skip the next step.

Now, you can comfortably sideload any app installation file (APK) on the FireStick without any issues.

Use Downloader to Install TiviMate on FireStick

1. Launch Downloader and select Enter a URL box on the home screen.

2. A virtual keyboard will open. Type firesticktricks.com/tivi and hit Go at the bottom.

Note: FireStickTricks.com does not host this APK. This URL redirects you to an external source.

3. The downloader will install the latest TiviMate APK on your FireStick. It’s about 12MB.

4. Click Install when prompted.

5. Click on DONE when the TiviMate installation is complete.

6. After installation, click Delete to remove the TiviMate APK from your device.

7. Click Delete once again to complete the removal.

That’s it. You’ve successfully installed the TiviMate APK on your FireStick. By connecting an IPTV service to the app, you can enjoy hundreds of live channels.

Your FireStick / Fire TV is now all ready to stream your favorite content. However, before you start, I would like to warn you that everything you stream online is visible to your ISP and Government. This means, streaming free movies, TV shows, Sports might get you into legal trouble. 

Thankfully, there is a foolproof way to keep all your streaming activities hidden from your ISP and the Government. All you need is a good VPN for Fire Stick. A VPN will mask your original IP which is and will help you bypass Online Surveillance, ISP throttling, and content geo-restrictions.

I personally use and recommend ExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is compatible with all kinds of streaming apps and is very easy to install on Fire TV / Stick.

We do not encourage the violation of copyright laws. But, what if you end up streaming content from an illegitimate source unintentionally? It is not always easy to tell the difference between a legit and illegal source.

So, before you start streaming on your Fire Stick / Fire TV, let’s see how to use ExpressVPN to keep your streaming activities hidden from prying eyes.

Step 1: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it free for the first 30-days and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.

Step 2: Power ON your Fire TV Stick and go to Find followed by Search option.

Step 3: Now type “Expressvpn” (without quotes) in the search bar and select ExpressVPN when it shows up in the search results.

Step 4: Click Download to install the ExpressVPN app on Fire TV / Stick.

Step 5: Open the app and enter the login credentials that you created while buying the ExpressVPN subscription. Click Sign in.

Step 6: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for FireStick.

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 may wish to 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 done, select Done to save the playlist.

Lastly, note down the remote control 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 can access TiviMate’s TV section. You can access sub-sections like 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 you don’t find an EPG enabled in the TiviMate app, 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. Premium costs $4.99 per year for up to 5 devices. You can also opt for the lifetime version at $19.99. I advise you to start with the one-year purchase, and then, if you’re satisfied with the features, you can 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, using an Android phone or tablet (or even Android TV) is the easiest way to get TiviMate Premium. 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 on the search bar at the top and search for TiviMate Companion. Install the TiviMate Companion 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 the app’s prime selling points. The video player is feature-rich and perfectly complements the rest of the app. If you have subscribed to multiple IPTV services, you can also add them 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 and want to watch something later, you can hit the Record button in the video player and view it later from the Recordings tab on the home screen of the TiviMate app.

Enable Subtitles

It comes in handy when you’re watching content that’s not in your native language. To enable subtitles, simply hit the CC (closed captions) button from the player menu and enable them from 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 at once. From the player menu, select Multi-view and 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, check out the article’s TiviMate overview section.
