TiviMate doesn’t provide channels or content itself. Instead, it’s a powerful IPTV player that organizes the streams from your existing IPTV subscription into a slick, easy-to-use TV interface.

In this guide, you’ll learn:

  • How to install TiviMate v5.2.0 on Firestick and Android TV
  • How to set up TiviMate Premium
  • How to add your IPTV playlist safely and efficiently
  • Common problems and how to fix them quickly

Important: TiviMate is a media player. Always use it with legal IPTV services that own the rights to the content you watch. Learn more about IPTV legality here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Protocol_television.

Why TiviMate Is So Popular With IPTV Users

Imagine this: You sit down on a Sunday night ready for your favorite series, but the app your provider gave you crashes, the EPG is empty, and the stream buffers nonstop. You waste 20 minutes tinkering with settings instead of watching TV.

That’s the pain point TiviMate solves.

TiviMate IPTV Player offers:

  • A clean, cable‑like interface
  • Fast zapping between channels
  • Excellent EPG (TV guide) support
  • Support for multiple playlists (great if you use more than one provider)
  • Recording options (depending on your device and storage)

For many users, pairing a reliable IPTV provider with TiviMate turns their setup into a true “cable killer.”

What You Need Before Installing TiviMate

Before you start, make sure you have:

  • An Amazon Firestick / Fire TV or an Android TV device (NVIDIA Shield, Chromecast with Google TV, Xiaomi Mi Box, etc.)
  • A stable internet connection (at least 25 Mbps recommended for HD/4K)
  • An IPTV subscription from a legal provider (with M3U URL or Xtream Codes-style login)
  • A Google account (required for buying TiviMate Premium through the Companion app on Android phones)

How to Install TiviMate IPTV on Firestick (V5.2.0)

TiviMate is not available in the Amazon Appstore, so you’ll install it via a safe method called sideloading using the Downloader app.

Note: For security, only install APKs from sources you trust.

Step 1 – Prepare Your Firestick

  1. Install Downloader
    • From the Firestick home screen, go to Find → Search.
    • Type Downloader.
    • Select the orange Downloader app by AFTVnews and click Download or Get.
  2. Allow apps from unknown sources
    • Go to Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options.
    • Select Install unknown apps (or Apps from Unknown Sources on older devices).
    • Turn it On for Downloader only.

For more on Fire TV sideloading basics, Amazon’s developer docs are helpful: https://developer.amazon.com/docs/fire-tv.

Step 2 – Download and Install TiviMate IPTV Player

  1. Open the Downloader app.
  2. In the URL field, enter the official download URL or a trusted source recommended by the TiviMate developer or the seller from whom you purchased the app.
  3. Click Go to download the TiviMate v5.2.0 APK (or the latest available version).
  4. When the APK finishes downloading, Downloader will prompt you to Install.
  5. Click Install, then Done.
  6. You can choose Delete in Downloader to remove the APK file and save storage (the app itself will stay installed).

Step 3 – Launch TiviMate and Grant Permissions

  1. From your Firestick home screen, go to Apps & Channels → See All.
  2. Find TiviMate, press the Menu (☰) button, and choose Move to front if you want easier access.
  3. Open TiviMate.
  4. When asked, allow any necessary permissions (for storage, etc., especially if you plan to record).

You’ve now completed the TiviMate Firestick installation. Next, you’ll add your IPTV playlist.

How to Install TiviMate IPTV on Android TV (V5.2.0)

On Android TV devices, the process is usually easier because TiviMate is available through the Google Play Store.

Option 1 – Install from Google Play Store (Recommended)

  1. On your Android TV home screen, open the Google Play Store.
  2. Search for TiviMate IPTV Player.
  3. Select TiviMate (by AR Mobile Dev) and click Install.
  4. Once installed, open TiviMate from your Apps section.

Official Play Store listing:

Option 2 – Sideload TiviMate on Android TV

If TiviMate is not visible in your region’s Play Store:

  1. Install Downloader from the Play Store (if available for your device).
  2. Enable installation from unknown sources for Downloader under Settings → Apps → Security (varies by manufacturer).
  3. Use Downloader to visit the official APK source provided by TiviMate’s developer.
  4. Download and install TiviMate just like on Firestick.

How to Add Your IPTV Service in TiviMate

Once TiviMate v5.2.0 is installed, you need to connect it to your IPTV provider.

  1. Open TiviMate.
  2. Select Add playlist.
  3. Choose how your provider gives you access:
    • M3U playlist URL
    • Xtream Codes (server URL, username, password)
  4. Enter the details exactly as your provider sent them.
  5. Wait while TiviMate downloads channels and EPG data.
  6. When it finishes, you’ll see your channel list and can start watching.

Always use legitimate IPTV providers that have the rights to the content. Avoid “free” playlists from random websites—they’re often unstable and can be illegal or unsafe.

TiviMate Free vs TiviMate Premium: Is It Worth It?

The free version of TiviMate is great for testing, but most serious IPTV users quickly upgrade to TiviMate Premium.

Key TiviMate Premium Features

Premium (in recent versions like v5.2.0) typically includes:

  • Multiple playlists – Combine several IPTV providers in one app.
  • Advanced EPG (TV guide) – Better control over sources, mapping, and layout.
  • Favorites management – Custom channel groups and sorting.
  • Catch-up and recording (where supported) – Record shows or use catch‑up from your provider.
  • Auto frame-rate switching – Smoother playback on supported devices.
  • Backup & restore – Save your configuration and restore it on new devices.

Pricing and licensing can change, but at the time of writing, TiviMate Premium usually offers a lifetime license for a limited number of devices (often up to five).

You’ll almost always find Premium worth it if:

  • You watch IPTV daily
  • You use more than one provider
  • You care about EPG and recordings

How to Set Up TiviMate Premium (V5.2.0)

Here’s where many users get confused:
You can’t buy Premium directly on Firestick or Android TV. Instead, you purchase a license through a separate app called TiviMate Companion on an Android phone or tablet.

Step 1 – Install TiviMate Companion App

  1. On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Play Store.
  2. Search for TiviMate Companion.
  3. Install it from the official listing:
  4. Open the app and sign in with your Google account.

Step 2 – Buy and Activate Your TiviMate Premium License

  1. In TiviMate Companion, follow the prompts to purchase TiviMate Premium (usually a one‑time payment).
  2. Once purchased, create a TiviMate account (email + password) if prompted.
  3. On your Firestick or Android TV, open TiviMate.
  4. Go to Settings → Account (or Unlock Premium depending on version).
  5. Log in with the same TiviMate account you used in the Companion app.
  6. Your device should now show Premium activated.

If you add TiviMate to another TV device later, just repeat the last few steps—no need to repurchase, as long as you stay within the allowed device limit.

Troubleshooting: Common TiviMate Issues (and Fixes)

Running into problems? Here are some quick solutions:

  • Playlist not loading
    • Double‑check your M3U/portal URL, username, and password.
    • Test the URL in a browser or another app. If it fails there too, contact your IPTV provider.
  • No EPG data
    • Go to Settings → EPG in TiviMate and verify the EPG source is set.
    • Ask your provider if they supply an XML EPG URL.
  • Buffering or freezing
    • Run a speed test on another device to confirm your connection.
    • Try a lower‑quality stream (SD instead of 4K).
    • If the issue happens only on certain channels, it’s likely on the provider’s side.
  • App crashing after update
    • Clear cache: Settings → Apps → TiviMate → Clear cache (exact path varies by device).
    • Make sure you’re on a version compatible with your OS.
