A normal Play Store install, the same as putting any other app on your phone.

Paste in the details we send you. TiViMate builds the channel list and the guide on its own.

    Tap Add Playlist

    Open TiViMate. It tells you it has no channels of its own, which is normal for a player. Tap Add Playlist to connect your Vivimate subscription.

    Choose your playlist type

    Pick the type that matches the details we sent you. Most people use Xtream Codes, which is a server address with a username and password. If you only have an M3U link, choose that.

How to set up TiViMate Premium

Free gets you in and playing, but you hit walls fast. The guide shows up empty, EPG settings are locked, and the app skin is fixed. Anything beyond basic playback (a second playlist, recordings, multi-view) needs Premium. You pay TiViMate directly, not us. Here is how to get it set up.

Annual ~$9.99/year

Billed once a year. A good starting point if you're not sure you'll use the extra features long-term.

Best value Lifetime ~$33.99 one-time

Cheaper than four years of the annual plan. One payment, no renewals, locked in if the price goes up.

A single licence works across up to 5 devices.

How to get TiViMate Premium

  1. 1

    Get your licence on tivimate.com

    Head to tivimate.com and create a free account if you don't have one. Pick Annual or Lifetime and check out.
