TiviMate is widely regarded as the best IPTV player available for Firestick and Android TV in 2026. With its clean interface, powerful EPG, multi-channel picture-in-picture, and recording capabilities, it delivers a premium TV experience that rivals any traditional cable package. This guide covers the complete setup process from installation to first stream.

What Is TiviMate?

TiviMate is an IPTV player application designed primarily for Android-based devices including Amazon Firestick, Fire TV, Android TV, and Google TV. It connects to your IPTV subscription using an M3U URL or Xtream Codes login and displays your channels in a slick, TV-optimised interface with a built-in electronic programme guide.

The free version covers the essentials — live TV and EPG. The Premium version (€4.99/year) unlocks catch-up TV, recording, multiple playlists, parental controls, and picture-in-picture mode. For most IPTV Elite Pro subscribers, the free version is more than sufficient to get started.

Navigating TiviMate — Key Features Explained

Channel List and Categories

TiviMate organises your channels into groups exactly as configured by your IPTV provider. IPTV Elite Pro channels are neatly organised by country, genre, and sports league. You can create your own Favourites list, rearrange groups, and hide channels you don’t watch.

EPG Programme Guide

TiviMate’s EPG is considered the best in any IPTV player. Press the guide button to open the full 7-day programme grid. You can see what’s currently on, what’s coming up, browse by date, and — with Premium — set recordings for future programmes.

Catch-up TV (Premium Feature)

Catch-up lets you replay programmes from the last 7 days. Navigate to any channel in the EPG, select a past programme, and it plays back instantly. IPTV Elite Pro includes full catch-up TV data for compatible channels.

Recording (Premium Feature)

With TiviMate Premium, you can record any live programme to your Firestick’s external storage or a connected USB drive. Select a programme in the EPG, press record, and TiviMate saves it automatically.

Picture-in-Picture (Premium Feature)

Watch two channels simultaneously with the picture-in-picture feature. Ideal for sports fans who want to follow two matches at the same time without switching channels.

TiviMate Free vs TiviMate Premium

Feature	Free	Premium (€4.99/year)

Multiple playlists	❌ (1 only)	✅ Unlimited

For most users, the free version is completely sufficient — you get live TV and the EPG which covers 95% of daily use. The Premium upgrade at €4.99/year is excellent value if you want catch-up and recording.

Troubleshooting TiviMate

Playlist Not Loading

If your playlist fails to load, verify your M3U URL by opening it in a web browser — it should return a text file. If the URL is correct but TiviMate still won’t load, try switching to Xtream Codes login instead. Contact IPTV Elite Pro support via WhatsApp for a fresh M3U link if needed.

Buffering Issues

Most buffering on Firestick is caused by insufficient RAM rather than internet speed. Go to TiviMate Settings → Player → increase the buffer size to 10 seconds. Also ensure no other apps are running in the background. For persistent buffering, contact IPTV Elite Pro support — they can switch you to a different server cluster.

EPG Not Updating

If the programme guide shows no data, go to Settings → EPG → Force Update. Make sure your EPG URL is correctly entered. IPTV Elite Pro provides EPG data for all channels — if yours is missing, contact support via WhatsApp.
