Details & Features

Upon installing TiviMate, you will immediately notice the unique interface it provides. This varies from other IPTV Players and works fabulously.

The menu bar on the left lists your Playlist Categories or “Groups” as they are referred to in the app. These can be hidden, removed, and managed all within the Settings.

This is a great way to eliminate any unwanted Channel lists that you don’t use or need.

Because of the uncertainty of live TV services, FireStickPro always suggests having a backup.

With this app, users can integrate multiple services or “Playlists” within the app meaning you can combine two or more Services into one!

This is a great way to ensure your live streaming is always available and manage your favorite channels across multiple platforms.

Best of all, the app works extremely fast on any device you prefer including Firestick, Android TV, Google TV, and more.

This includes the ability to view recent channels and quickly select as well as re-open the TV Guide with your current channel playing in the background:

Groups

The Group options within TiviMate sets it apart from other IPTV apps. Using this to your advantage is a great way to condense your TV streaming experience.

To edit these, simply open the TV Guide and click the Menu Button (3 horizontal lines) on your remote. Then click Group options:

1. Select Manage groups

3. Only highlighted groups will now be visible on the left-side menu bar of the home screen. To adjust the order of these, simply click Manage positions:

NOTE: FireStickPro recommends adding your preferred channels to Favorites to get the most out of this app. This will enable all navigational features to work within the Favorites “Group” meaning all scrolling and selection will be through your Favorite Channels!

Favorites

There are a few ways to add a Channel to Favorites.

The first option is to long click when playing a Channel and selecting “Add to Favorites”

After selecting a channel, users have numerous options within the player. You can easily access the channel list by pressing the down button.

This will prompt quick access to the Channel list without returning to the EPG.

EPG (Electronic Program Guide)

Using the built-in EPG is the best way to browse through your channel selections and more.

Here is the recommended method to set up the EPG within TiviMate.

• Open Settings and select EPG
• Click Past Days to Keep EPG and set it to 1
• Update Intervals – 24 hours
• Update on app start – Off
• Update on Playlist Change – On

Picture in Picture

Another fabulous feature available is the Picture-in-Picture setting that will let you browse other apps/tools on your device while continuing to stream live content.

You can find this in the full-screen mode of your preferred channel.

This will keep TiviMate playing in the background while you are able to access other options on your preferred device!

TiviMate Settings

Within the Settings are the following provided options:

There are a few options within the app’s settings that are worth checking out. One thing we suggest is enabling the confirmation message prior to exiting out.

This way, you will not accidentally close the app by pressing the back button too many times:

Another notable feature is the auto-update option for the TV guide. This will ensure your guide is always current:

Parental Controls

For those who wish to use Parental Controls, these can also be established within the Parental controls Category.

This includes setting and using a PIN Number for access. These can be adjusted to require PIN for Playlists, TV Guide, Group options, and more.

To go along with the Parental Controls is also the ability to block various channels.

you can find this option within the Settings of any channel.

Within the Settings option are tons of features and options that will help you get the most out of your Live TV experience.

Adjusting these will help cater the app to your specific preferences. We suggest checking out all of these Categories to ensure the app is set to your liking.

Subtitles

While other IPTV players fall short when it comes to Closed Captioning, TiviMate does not.

That being said, working subtitles will vary from Channel to Channel within the app.

How To Enable Subtitles:

1. Open and play your preferred content
2. Long Click the Select button on your remote to open options and choose CC
3. Change toggle from “Off” to “Closed captions 1”
4. Subtitles will now load for your content

TiviMate External Video Player

Another excellent feature that TiviMate provides is the ability to use external video players.

This is something we don’t always see in IPTV Players that usually have a built-in video player.

Users can easily choose to open an external player after making a channel selection.

We could go on and on about all of the features TiviMate provides, however, your best bet is to try it yourself to see just how extensive these options are!

Recording Capabilities

In my opinion, one of the best features of this application is the ability to schedule recordings. Guess what?

You can even schedule multiple recordings at the same time!

NOTE: Prior to recording it’s important to make sure you have a USB Drive that’s properly formatted as FAT32.

TiviMate has 3 recording options that all work fairly well. This includes live recording while watching, live recording while on channel guide, and scheduled recordings.

To schedule a recording, select “Custom Recording” within the channel guide by long-pressing the select button on your remote. This will enable you to choose “New Recording” and then schedule the recording by selecting your channel and timeframe.

Audio Sync

If you’re experiencing audio sync issues while watching a channel, you can adjust it using the audio sync feature. Simply press the select button on your remote while watching a channel and adjust the offset up or down until the audio matches the video.

Overall, the possibilities within the TiviMate app are endless. Because of its easy navigation and fast streaming abilities, it is sure to be a favorite among all IPTV users.

TiviMate Official Website

Recently, the developer has created an official website for the application that provides a few details and screenshots with information. However, the best use of this website is the ability to log in to your TiviMate premium account and view all activated devices.

TiviMate Review

TiviMate is one of the most popular players available today and for good reason.

As noted above, the service provides both a Free and Premium version with the Premium version offering advanced features which we list below.

These features truly set it apart from other options and make it an all-inclusive streaming platform for any IPTV Service you prefer.

The TiviMate app provides a fabulous user interface with a built-in Electronic Program Guide to browse content.

It is made to work on various streaming devices, however, is also available for mobile phones and tablets for live streaming anywhere you are.

While setting up the Premium version is a bit of a process, it is worth it in the end for all the fabulous features it provides.

The app itself is extremely fast with little to no lag and even provides the ability to record which we don’t often see with various IPTV Players.

Best of all, the developers continually update the app to keep it running at peak performance for a fabulous viewing experience.
