This step by-step-tutorial will provide you with instructions to Install and Use TiviMate on Firestick, Fire TV, and Android TV Box.
Please note, you will need M3U URL which is provided us. If you do not have this then kindly CLICK HERE to get yours now.
There is both a premium version and free version of the software available for use. However, we suggest purchasing a premium account for a much more enjoyable experience.
The premium option includes the following features not available with the free version:
- Support for multiple playlists
- Favorites management
- Catch-up
- Customizable TV Guide update intervals
- Customizable Panels transparency and timeout
- Manual Channels sorting
- Turning on last channel on app start
- Auto frame rate (AFR)
- Many More
As you can see, without the premium upgrade, there isn’t much sense in using the app.
We suggest first installing the free app via instructions below. If you like the app, you can register for the premium version and we cover that below as well.
