TiviMate Setup Guide
Everything you need to know about IPTV — how it works, what's legal, and how it compares with cable, satellite and Netflix.
TiviMate is one of the most polished IPTV player apps for Android TV and Firestick. It does not include channels — you bring your own Vivo IPTV subscription and load it the way you like: M3U playlist, Xtream Codes, or STB Emulator portal.
Install TiviMate
On Android TV / Google TV, open the Play Store, search for TiviMate IPTV Player, and install the free version. On Firestick you can sideload it via Downloader or use the Amazon Store if it is available in your region.
Load Your Vivo IPTV Playlist
- Open TiviMate → Add Playlist.
- Choose your method: M3U URL, Xtream Codes, or STB Emulator.
- Paste the credentials Vivo IPTV sent you, give the playlist a name, and wait for channels to populate.
- Go to Settings → EPG and add the EPG URL; set your time zone so guide times match your location.
TiviMate Free vs Premium
- Free: one playlist, basic EPG, live TV, VOD browsing.
- Premium (≈ $4.99/year): multiple playlists, catch-up TV, recording, parental controls, custom groups and favorites.
Premium is activated from inside the app with a Google Play purchase and unlocks immediately.
Common Issues
- Channels won’t load: check the playlist URL or Xtream credentials, confirm your subscription is active.
- EPG not showing: verify the EPG URL is added and the time zone matches.
- Buffering: test wired/5GHz Wi-Fi, lower stream quality, or try our annual plan — anti-freeze is included.
