TiviMate review 2026: the best IPTV app for Android TV
TiviMate has been the most popular IPTV player for Android TV and Fire TV for years, and that's no accident: no other app has such a fast, clear TV guide.

Our verdict
TiviMate: very good
TiviMate is the best IPTV app if you watch on Android TV, Google TV or Fire TV. The TV guide is unrivalled for speed, the controls are built entirely around the remote and premium costs little. The one real drawback: it doesn't run on anything other than Android TVs.

Channel list with preview window in TiviMate
You can try the app for free with one playlist. If you want more playlists, recording, catch-up or multiview, you need premium. That's a subscription of around ten euros a year or a one-off payment, each covering five devices. In this review you'll read what the free version does, what premium adds and how to set up TiviMate with your own subscription.
The TV guide: why everyone recommends TiviMate
The guide shows a classic TV listing with logos, progress bars and a preview window that keeps playing while you browse. Even with thousands of channels, scrolling stays smooth, where many other apps slow down.
TiviMate takes the programme data from your subscription (Xtream and Stalker usually supply it) or from your own XMLTV source that you add. Sorting channels, hiding groups and changing logos can all be done from the guide itself.
Everyday use and controls
Everything in TiviMate is designed for the remote: channel hopping with the number keys, long presses for options and a start channel you can set. The app remembers your last audio track and aspect ratio for each channel.
Handy for households: profiles for each family member (premium), a night mode for the guide and backups of your settings, so you can pick up again within minutes when you get a new box.
Features
What can TiviMate do?
TiviMate runs only on TV devices with Android: Android TV, Google TV, the Fire TV Stick and IPTV boxes such as the Formuler range. You install it from Google Play on your TV or box; on a Fire TV Stick it's in the Amazon environment, or you put it on with the Downloader app. There's no version for phones, tablets, Samsung or LG TVs or PCs.

Installing
How to install TiviMate on Android TV
- Open Google Play on your Android TV or Google TV and search for "TiviMate".
- Install the app and open it; you'll see the screen for adding a playlist straight away.
- Choose how to log in: Xtream Codes (server, username and password), an M3U link or a Stalker portal.
- Enter the details of your IPTV subscription; your provider emailed them to you.
- Wait for the channels and the TV guide to load; this takes a little while with a large playlist.
- Want more than one playlist, recording or catch-up? Activate premium through the TiviMate Companion app on your phone.

Choose this app if…
you watch on an Android TV, Google TV, Fire TV Stick or Formuler box and want the best TV guide; for about a tenner a year, premium is a no-brainer.
Skip it if…
you watch on a Samsung or LG TV, Apple TV, iPhone or PC: there's no TiviMate for those, and you're better off with IPTV Smarters or IBO Player.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about TiviMate
Is TiviMate free?
Yes, the basic version is free with one playlist and the full TV guide. Multiple playlists, recording, catch-up, multiview and the parental lock need premium: about €9.99 a year or a one-off amount of around €34, for five devices.
Does TiviMate work on a Firestick?
Yes, TiviMate runs well on the Fire TV Stick. You buy premium through the TiviMate Companion app on an Android phone, because the Firestick itself doesn't have Google Play.
Does TiviMate work on Samsung or LG smart TVs?
No. TiviMate only exists for Android TV, Google TV and Fire TV. On a Samsung or LG TV you use an app such as IBO Player, Smart IPTV or IPTV Smarters.
Does TiviMate come with channels?
No. TiviMate is only a player. You add the playlist from your IPTV subscription yourself; without a subscription you'll see nothing.
How do I get the TV guide filled in?
Log in with Xtream Codes or a Stalker portal and the guide usually comes with it automatically. With an M3U playlist, add a separate EPG source (XMLTV link) from your provider if needed.
