TiviMate IPTV Setup Guide 2026: How to Install and Configure

TiviMate is widely regarded as the best IPTV player available for Android and Firestick. Its clean TV-optimised interface, smooth channel switching, 7-day EPG guide and catch-up support make it the top choice for serious IPTV users. This guide walks you through setting up TiviMate from scratch with a Smooth Stream subscription.

What You Need Before You Start

Before setting up TiviMate you will need:

A Firestick, Android TV box, or Android TV (Sony, Philips, TCL etc.)
A Smooth Stream IPTV subscription or free 24-hour trial
Your Xtream Codes login details from Smooth Stream — server URL, username and password
A stable broadband connection — 20 Mbps or above recommended for HD

How to Install TiviMate on Firestick

TiviMate is not in the Amazon App Store, so you need to sideload it using the Downloader app:

Go to Settings > My Fire TV > Developer Options and turn on Apps from Unknown Sources
Open the Amazon App Store and install the Downloader app
Open Downloader and enter the URL: https://tivimate.com — or search for the TiviMate APK directly

Open TiviMate from your apps — it is now ready to configure

How to Install TiviMate on Android TV or Android Box

On Android TV or a standard Android box, TiviMate is available directly from the Google Play Store:

Open the Google Play Store on your Android TV or box
Search for TiviMate Companion — install this companion app first

How to Add Your Smooth Stream Playlist to TiviMate

Once TiviMate is installed, add your Smooth Stream subscription:

Open TiviMate and tap Add Playlist
Select Xtream Codes login (recommended over M3U for better performance)
Enter the server URL, username and password from your Smooth Stream welcome message
Tap Add — TiviMate will connect to the server and load your channel list
The EPG guide populates automatically — this takes 1 to 3 minutes on first load
Once complete, you will see all 25,000+ channels organised by category

How to Configure TiviMate for the Best Experience

A few settings make a big difference to the TiviMate experience:

Go to Settings > Player and set the default player to TiviMate Player for the smoothest playback
Under Settings > General, enable Remember last channel to pick up where you left off
Under Settings > EPG, set the EPG update time to 3am so it refreshes overnight
Add channels to Favourites by long-pressing — your top channels then appear in a separate tab
Enable Multiscreen in Settings to watch multiple channels simultaneously (requires TiviMate Premium)

TiviMate Free vs TiviMate Premium

TiviMate has a free version and a Premium version. The free version covers most users' needs — channel list, EPG, favourites and standard playback. TiviMate Premium (a one-off purchase of around £4–£5) unlocks multiple playlists, multiscreen viewing, recording, and automatic playlist updates. For Smooth Stream users who want the full experience, Premium is worth the small one-off cost.
