Good to Know: TiviMate Has No Channels
TiviMate is a media player only. It doesn’t provide any IPTV channels, playlists or subscriptions: after installing it, you add your own playlist (M3U URL or Xtream Codes) from your IPTV provider.
TiviMate IPTV Player is one of the most popular IPTV players for TV devices, known for its clean TV guide layout and smooth remote control. It is built for Android TV, so it only runs on Android-based devices such as the Amazon Firestick, Fire TV, NVIDIA Shield, Chromecast with Google TV and Android TV boxes. This guide shows how to install TiviMate on each supported device step by step, what to use on devices where TiviMate isn’t available, and what to do right after installing it.
What Is TiviMate?
TiviMate IPTV Player (often searched as TV Mate, TiviMates or Tivi Mate) is an IPTV player app for Android TV devices, made by Armobsoft FZE. It shows your IPTV channels in a cable-style TV guide and plays movies and series from your provider. TiviMate is free to download and works with an M3U playlist, Xtream Codes or a Stalker Portal. Movies, series, the TV guide, several playlists, catch-up and recording need TiviMate Premium, bought through the TiviMate Companion app.
TiviMate is a media player only: it is legal to install and use, but it doesn’t include any channels. What you watch depends on the playlist you add.

TiviMate Free vs TiviMate Premium
Installing TiviMate is free, but the free version only gives basic Live TV with one playlist: movies, series and the EPG (TV guide) don’t work. They need TiviMate Premium, a paid subscription bought only in the TiviMate Companion app on an Android phone. See how to unlock TiviMate Premium. Premium unlocks app features only: it doesn’t include any channels. Your channels always come from your IPTV provider.
TiviMate Won’t Install? Quick Fixes
- Downloader says the code is invalid: check that you typed 272483 and that your Firestick is connected to the internet.
- “Install blocked” or nothing happens after the download: turn ON Install unknown apps for Downloader in Settings > My Fire TV > Developer Options.
- “App not installed”: free up storage by uninstalling apps you don’t use, restart the Firestick and try again.
- TiviMate not found in the Play Store: on phones you only see TiviMate Companion; on TVs make sure your device runs Android TV or Google TV.
- Samsung or LG TV: TiviMate doesn’t exist for these TVs. Use IBO Player or a Firestick.
Only Install the Official TiviMate
Avoid “TiviMate Premium unlocked” or modded APKs from unknown websites. They often contain malware and stop working after updates. Use the Google Play Store or the official download behind Downloader code 272483.
