How to install TiviMate (official download, every device)
In short: install TiviMate IPTV Player from Google Play on Android TV and Google TV. On Fire TV, search the home screen first and otherwise use only the developer’s own install route. Do not use “Premium unlocked” APKs from download sites.

Why “TiviMate APK” downloads are a bad idea
Search for a TiviMate APK and you will find many sites offering old versions or “Premium unlocked” builds. They cause most of the problems people blame on TiviMate:
- No updates: the app stays on an old version with known bugs.
- Breakage: modified builds often stop working after a server-side change.
- Security: you cannot know what else was added to the file.
The official app is free, and Premium costs little in the TiviMate Companion app. See TiviMate free vs Premium to decide if you need it.
Already using a modified copy? Uninstall it, install the official app, and re-add your playlist with the Xtream Codes login. It takes five minutes and usually ends random freezes.
After installing
- Open TiviMate and choose Add playlist → Xtream Codes login.
- Enter the login from your email. Full walkthrough: TiviMate IPTV setup.
- Apply the best TiviMate settings.
- Back up your setup: Settings → Backup data.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I download TiviMate safely?
From Google Play on Android TV, Google TV and TV boxes. On Fire TV, search the Fire TV home screen first; if it is not listed in your country, follow only the install route the developer publishes.
Is there a TiviMate APK for Premium for free?
Files that promise Premium for free are modified copies. They do not update, can break at any time and may contain unwanted code. Premium is cheap in the official Companion app.
How do I update TiviMate?
Installed from Google Play, it updates by itself. On Fire TV, update it the same way you installed it, from the official source.
Do I need to reinstall TiviMate after a reset?
Yes, but TiviMate can back up your settings and playlists (Settings → Backup data) so you restore everything in a minute.
