Part 1

Install TiviMate

3 min
  1. 1

    Find it in Google Play

    On your Android TV or Google TV, open Google Play, search for TiviMate and check that the developer is AR Mobile Dev before you select Install.

    On a Fire TV, look in the Amazon Appstore first. If it isn't listed there, install only from the developer's official link.

  2. 2

    Open it and select Add playlist

    The first screen asks for a playlist. Select Add playlist.

Part 2

Add your playlist

5 min
  1. 3

    Choose Xtream Codes

    Of the three playlist types, pick Xtream Codes. It brings the TV guide in automatically, which an M3U link often doesn't.

  2. 4

    Enter server, username and password

    TiviMate calls the URL the server address. Copy it from your activation email exactly, then add your username and password and select Next.

  3. 5

    Check what it found, then name it

    TiviMate lists the live channels, movies and series it found. Give the playlist a name, such as the name of your plan, and select Done.

Part 3

Guide and premium features

2 min
  1. 6

    Let the guide fill in

    The TV guide downloads by itself after the playlist is added. The first update can take a few minutes on a big lineup.

  2. 7

    Decide on Premium

    Some TiviMate features, such as several playlists at once and catch-up, need TiviMate Premium, a separate purchase from the app's developer. IPTV Smarters has no paid tier.

Screens are illustrations, not captures of TiviMate. Labels and premium features can change between versions; check the app's store listing for the latest.
