How to Set Up TiviMate on Firestick: Easiest Guide [2025 Update]

Did you know TiviMate for Firestick lets you watch over 110,000 live TV channels in stunning 4K quality? TiviMate stands out as one of the most popular IPTV players on Android TV devices and has become the favorite choice for streaming fans around the world.

The only catch is that you won’t find TiviMate on the Amazon App Store. You’ll need to use the Downloader application to sideload it. Setting up TiviMate on your Firestick needs a few specific steps. Don’t worry – we’ll guide you through everything from enabling unknown source installations to adding your IPTV service’s M3U links or Xtream codes.

The setup might look tricky at first, but the results make it worthwhile. TiviMate Premium costs just $4.99 per year or $19.99 for lifetime access. It packs amazing features like scheduled recordings, multi-view options, parental controls, and a customizable interface.

This complete 2025 guide will walk you through installing TiviMate on your Firestick. You’ll learn how to connect your IPTV service and realize the full potential of premium features that will enhance your streaming experience.

Prepare Your Firestick for TiviMate Installation

Let’s take a closer look at installing TiviMate on your Firestick. Your device needs proper configuration to accept apps from outside the Amazon App Store. The process involves three steps: enabling developer options, installing the Downloader app, and allowing installations from unknown sources.

Enable Developer Options

Most Firestick devices hide the Developer Options menu by default. A simple trick will help you unlock it:

1. Select the Settings gear icon from your Firestick home screen’s top menu
2. Select My Fire TV after scrolling right (older models might show “Device” or “System”)
3. Select About
4. Click your device name (usually the first option) 7 times in succession
5. You’ll see a message “No need, you are already a developer” that confirms activation
6. The Developer Options will appear after you press the back button

This hidden menu plays a vital role in sideloading apps like TiviMate that aren’t in the Amazon App Store.

Install the Downloader App

The Downloader app serves as your tool to install third-party apps on your Firestick:

1. Select the Find or Search icon (magnifying glass) from your Firestick home screen
2. Use the on-screen keyboard to type “Downloader”
3. Look for the orange Downloader app with the downward arrow icon in search results
4. Select Get or Download and wait until installation finishes
5. A notification will appear in the bottom corner after installation

The Downloader app comes directly from the Amazon App Store, making it the most reliable tool to sideload applications like TiviMate onto your Firestick.

Allow Unknown Sources

The Downloader app needs permission to install applications from outside Amazon:

1. Select Settings > My Fire TV
2. Look for Developer Options in the menu
3. Your Firestick version will show one of these options:
   • Apps from Unknown Sources: Enable this and confirm when asked
   • Install Unknown Apps: Choose this, then enable Downloader from the list

TiviMate requires this security setting because it’s not available in the official Amazon App Store. Your Firestick blocks installation attempts through Downloader without this option enabled.

These three preparation steps configure your Firestick properly for TiviMate installation. You only need to make these changes once to install any third-party application through Downloader, including future TiviMate updates.

Your Firestick configuration is complete, and now you can download and install the TiviMate IPTV Player. The Downloader app we set up earlier will help you install TiviMate since it’s not available on Amazon’s App Store.

Use Downloader to get the APK

The TiviMate APK file is just a few steps away:

1. Launch the Downloader app from your apps list
2. Select the URL input box on the home screen
3. Enter the official TiviMate code: 272483 – this code links directly to the latest version
4. Click Go and let Downloader fetch the APK from TiviMate’s servers
5. The system will prompt you to install the application once downloaded

You can also type https://www.tivimate.com/download in the Downloader app. Both methods will give you the genuine TiviMate app from its official source.

Install and launch the app

The APK file is ready, so let’s install it:

1. Click Install on the system installation screen
2. Your Firestick needs 15-30 seconds to process the installation
3. You’ll see two options after completion: Open and Done
4. Pick Done to go back to the Downloader app first (we need to clean up)

The installation works smoothly because we enabled installation from unknown sources earlier. TiviMate will stay on your Firestick until you decide to remove it.

Delete APK to save space

Many users skip this vital cleanup step:

1. Downloader will ask if you want to delete the APK file
2. Click Delete to remove it
3. Confirm by clicking Delete again

Your Firestick’s storage space is limited. The APK file just takes up valuable memory that you could use to stream content or record shows. A clutter-free device performs better.

The quickest way to find your new TiviMate app:

1. Go back to your Firestick home screen
2. Look for Your Apps & Channels
3. Find TiviMate (usually at the list’s end)
4. Make it easier to access by highlighting the app, pressing the menu button, and selecting Move to Front

TiviMate is now ready on your Firestick for IPTV service setup. The app starts in its simple version with basic features. Premium features like recording and multi-view need TiviMate Premium activation through the companion app – we’ll cover that later.

How to Set Up TiviMate with Your IPTV Service

You’ve installed TiviMate on your Firestick successfully. The next step is to connect your IPTV service, which gives you access to thousands of channels. This essential setup process turns your simple app into a powerful streaming platform. Let’s take a closer look at the proper configuration.

Add M3U or Xtream Code playlist

TiviMate offers two main ways to connect your IPTV service: M3U playlists and Xtream Codes. Your provider will give you different information for each method:

For M3U Playlist setup:

1. Open TiviMate and select Add Playlist on the first screen
2. Choose M3U Playlist from the options
3. Select Enter URL and input the M3U link from your IPTV service
4. Name your playlist so you can identify it easily and select Next
5. Press Done to finish the simple playlist setup

For Xtream Codes setup:

1. Launch TiviMate and select Add Playlist
2. Choose Xtream Codes Login option
3. Enter these details from your provider:
   • Server URL (without http:// prefix)
   • Username
   • Password
4. Toggle “Include VOD” if you want on-demand content
5. Select Next followed by Done

Your IPTV service’s welcome email should contain these credentials after you purchase a subscription. Reach out to your provider’s support team if you can’t find these details.

Configure EPG for program guide

The Electronic Program Guide (EPG) shows channel schedules and program information. Here’s how to set it up perfectly:

1. Go to Settings > EPG
2. Set Past Days to Keep EPG to 1 (saves storage space)
3. Change Update Intervals to 24 hours
4. Turn Update on app start Off
5. Set Update on Playlist Change to On

Your channels might need external EPG sources if program information is missing:

• Go to Settings > EPG > EPG sources > Add source
• Enter the EPG URL from your service or public EPG repositories
• Return to Settings > Playlists > your playlist > EPG sources
• Enable your newly added source

Some channels might still lack information. Long-press a channel, select Assign EPG, then look for a matching channel in the available EPG data.

Organize channels and groups

A well-laid-out channel library makes your viewing experience better:

Create custom groups:

1. From the EPG, long-press OK/Select on your remote
2. Choose Create group
3. Select your playlist
4. Name your group (Fire TV app’s keyboard lets you use emojis)
5. Press Next then Done

Add channels to custom groups:

1. Go to a group with channels you want to copy
2. Enter the EPG and long-press OK/Select
3. Select Copy channels
4. Check the channels you want to add
5. Press right on your remote, select your custom group, then Copy

Manage group display:

• Access EPG > long-press OK > Settings > Appearance > Groups
• Turn off unwanted groups like “Favorites” or “All Channels”
• Group reordering: Settings > Playlists > your playlist > Manage Groups > TV > Group Sorting > Manual > Reorder Groups

Clean up channel names:
Channel names with prefixes/suffixes (like “US| CNN HD”) can be cleaned up:

1. From EPG, long-press OK > Settings > Appearance > TV Guide
2. Enable Channel name editor
3. Enter common prefixes/suffixes separated by commas

These organization features set TiviMate apart from other Firestick IPTV players and create an individual-specific viewing experience.

Activate TiviMate Premium Using Companion App

You’ll need to follow a special process to tap into the full potential of TiviMate Premium on your Firestick. The app works differently from others – you can’t buy it directly from your Firestick. You’ll need the TiviMate Companion app from the Google Play Store.

Install TiviMate Companion on Android or emulator

Getting premium features starts with access to the Google Play Store:

1. On an Android phone or tablet, open the Play Store
2. Search for “TiviMate Companion” and install the official app by Armobsoft FZE
3. Once installed, open the app

No Android device? An Android emulator on your computer works just as well:

1. Download BlueStacks (most recommended emulator) from their official website
2. Install and launch BlueStacks on your PC or Mac
3. Sign in with your Google account
4. Search for “TiviMate Companion” in the Play Store
5. Install and open the app

The companion app has one simple purpose – it lets you unlock premium features and manage your devices.

Create account and choose subscription

Here’s what to do after opening the companion app:

1. Tap the Account button
2. Select Sign Up to create a new account
3. Enter your email address and password (save these details for later)
4. Re-enter your password and select Create account
5. Review the available subscription options:
   • Annual subscription: $9.99 per year
   • Lifetime access: Between $19.99-$33.99 (pricing may vary)
6. Select your preferred plan
7. Complete payment using Google Play payment methods

Your subscription lets you activate up to 5 different devices – perfect for homes with multiple Firesticks.

Log in and activate on Firestick

Back on your Firestick:

1. Open the TiviMate app you installed earlier
2. Go to Settings (in the left menu)
3. Select Unlock Premium
4. Click Next
5. Choose Account
6. Enter your companion app’s email and password
7. Click Log In

9. Select Activate
10. Click OK to confirm

This process connects your Firestick to your premium account. You’ll get instant access to all premium features including scheduled recordings, multi-view capabilities, and easy-to-use interfaces.

The extra setup steps are worth it – TiviMate Premium gives you great value compared to other IPTV players. The companion app makes it easy to manage your activated devices and remove unused ones whenever needed.

Explore and Customize TiviMate Premium Features

Your TiviMate Premium on Firestick opens up a world of advanced features. Let’s discover what your IPTV experience can really offer.

Set up scheduled recordings

TiviMate Premium turns your Firestick into a powerful DVR. Here’s how to set up recordings:

1. Find a show in the guide and long-press the select button
2. Pick “Custom recording” then “New recording”
3. Choose start date, time, duration, and select “repeat” for weekly shows if needed

You’ll need to set up storage location first to get the best recording performance. Head to Settings > Other > Recording and choose between internal storage or an external drive. Add 5-10 minutes to your recording time to handle any IPTV delays.

Use multi-view and favorites

Multi-view lets you watch multiple channels at once:

• Turn it on through Settings > Appearance > Player > Menu > toggle Multi-view ON
• Press the menu button while watching and select “Multi-view”

Make channel browsing easier by creating favorites – just long-press select on any channel and pick “Add to favorites.” You can also group your content by creating custom lists through the same menu.

Enable parental controls

Keep your kids safe with PIN protection:

• Go to Settings > Parental Control
• Set up a PIN to limit access to adult content
• Block both playlists and EPG sources since content shows up in both places

This security measure stops anyone from changing your set restrictions while watching.

Adjust interface and playback settings

You can change almost every part of TiviMate’s look. Pick from Classic, Modern, or Compact TV guide layouts. Turn on hardware acceleration to stop buffering problems. Changing the buffer size helps smooth out playback when your connection is slow.

Video quality improves when you adjust the video codec selection and frame rate matching in playback settings. These changes make your streaming better by keeping audio and video in sync.

Backup your configuration

Once you’ve got TiviMate set up perfectly:

• Look for Settings > General > Backup
• Pick a folder for your configuration
• Use “Send Files to TV” or similar apps to move backups between devices

You can bring back these settings on any device through Settings > General > Restore. Note that backups work only with same or newer TiviMate versions, so make a new backup before any updates.
