How to Set Up TiviMate Premium: Step-by-Step Guide [2025 Update]

Have you discovered how TiviMate Premium reshapes the scene with access to over 110,000 live TV channels in stunning 4K quality? TiviMate has made a comeback after a year-long break with version 5.1.6. The new version comes loaded with advanced features that make it stand out among IPTV players.

The free version provides simple functionality. TiviMate Premium lets you discover the full potential of your streaming experience. You can get it for $4.99 yearly or $19.99 for lifetime access. Some sources mention $33.99 for lifetime with 5 simultaneous connections. Premium users get multiple playlist support, manual channel sorting, and recording capabilities. On top of that, it offers scheduled recordings, parental controls, and a customizable interface.

TiviMate’s setup needs you to connect your M3U URL or Xtream Code URL from an IPTV provider. The app works with M3U links, Xtream codes, and Stalker portals, which makes it versatile. The accessible interface has sections like Search, TV, Movies, and Settings that make content navigation smooth.

This piece will show you how to install and set up TiviMate Premium on your device. We’ll focus on Firestick installation to get you started quickly.

Prepare Your Device for TiviMate Installation

Your Firestick device needs proper preparation before TiviMate installation. TiviMate isn’t available on the Amazon App Store, so we’ll add it through sideloading. Let’s get your Firestick ready with some initial setup steps.

Enable developer options on Firestick

The developer options allow you to sideload apps not found in the official Amazon App Store. Here’s how to enable them for TiviMate Premium installation:

1. Head to the Settings icon (gear symbol) at the top menu
2. Select My Fire TV from the right menu
3. Select About
4. Find your device name (such as “Fire TV Stick 4K” or “Fire TV Stick 4K Max”)
5. Press the OK button on your remote 7 times in succession
6. A message will appear: “No need, you are already a developer”
7. Press the Back button on your remote
8. Developer Options should now appear in the My Fire TV menu

Note: Older Firestick models might display Developer Options without these steps.

Install the Downloader app

The Downloader app helps you get APK files directly on your Firestick. Here’s the installation process:

1. Go to your Firestick home screen
2. Click the search icon (magnifying glass) at the top left
3. Type “Downloader” with the on-screen keyboard
4. Choose the Downloader app from search results
5. Click “Download” or “Get” to start installation
6. Let the installation complete
7. You’ll see a notification once it’s done

The Downloader app lets you enter URLs or codes to get APK files unavailable on the Amazon App Store.

Allow apps from unknown sources

Your Firestick needs permission to install apps from outside the Amazon App Store:

1. Access Settings > My Fire TV
2. Click Developer Options
3. Select Install unknown apps (newer devices) or Apps from Unknown Sources (older devices)
4. Look for Downloader in the list
5. Switch the toggle to ON

This permission lets Downloader install APK files from the internet. Your Firestick blocks TiviMate and other third-party app installations without this setting.

These three setup steps prepare your Firestick for TiviMate installation. You only need to do this configuration once to install any third-party application through Downloader. The next section shows you how to get and install the TiviMate IPTV Player using Downloader.

Install the TiviMate IPTV Player

Your Firestick is ready to sideload apps, so let’s get TiviMate IPTV Player installed. The app isn’t on the Amazon App Store, which means we’ll need Downloader to get and install the APK file.

Use Downloader to fetch the APK

The Downloader app is ready to get the TiviMate IPTV Player:

1. Launch the Downloader app from your apps section
2. Select the URL input box on the home screen
3. Your remote lets you enter one of these options:
   • Enter 272483 (official Downloader code for TiviMate IPTV Player)
   • You can also use 250931
4. Click Go to proceed
5. The app automatically takes you to the download page if you used a code
6. The APK file takes a moment to download – it’s about 12MB

Pro tip: Downloader codes work as shortcuts to the TiviMate APK. The official code (272483) gets you the latest version straight from the source.

Complete the installation process

The APK file has downloaded. Here’s what to do next:

1. Downloader shows an install prompt automatically
2. Click Install to start the process
3. The installation takes just a few moments
4. You’ll see a “Ready to launch!” message
5. Choose Done instead of Open (we’ll start the app after some cleanup)

TiviMate is now on your Firestick. The process works smoothly because you enabled installation from unknown sources earlier.

Delete the APK file after install

The APK file needs to go after installation:

1. Clicking Done takes you back to Downloader
2. Click Delete at the prompt
3. Click Delete again to confirm

Getting rid of the APK file keeps your device tidy. Your Firestick has limited storage space, and a clean device runs better.

Here’s how to check if TiviMate installed correctly:

1. Go to your Firestick home screen
2. Look for Your Apps & Channels
3. Can’t see TiviMate right away? Scroll right and hit See All
4. TiviMate should show up in your installed apps

You’ve got TiviMate IPTV Player running on your Firestick. The basic version costs nothing to use. In spite of that, premium features need activation, which we’ll cover later in this piece.

The next part shows you how to set up your IPTV playlist in TiviMate. This connects your service provider’s content to the app.

You just need to connect your IPTV subscription after installing TiviMate on your device. Your TiviMate premium experience won’t be complete without a well-configured playlist. Let me show you how to set up your IPTV service for the best streaming performance.

Add M3U or Xtream code playlist

TiviMate works with different playlist formats, so you can connect your IPTV service in multiple ways:

1. Open TiviMate and click the “ADD PLAYLIST” option on your screen
2. You’ll see three main options: M3U Playlist, Xtream Codes login, and Stalker Portal
3. For M3U Playlist method:
   • Pick M3U Playlist and click Next
   • Type in the full M3U URL from your IPTV service
   • Your playlist will load in seconds
4. For Xtream Codes method (usually works better):
   • Pick “Xtream Codes login” and click Next
   • Fill in these three fields:
     • Server Address: The base URL from your IPTV provider
     • Username: Your subscription username
     • Password: Your subscription password
   • Switch on “Include VOD” if you want to watch Video on Demand content
   • Click Next

The app will link to your IPTV server and start loading channels. The Xtream Codes method typically gives you a more reliable connection than M3U links.

Configure EPG settings

The Electronic Program Guide (EPG) makes your viewing better by showing program schedules and details:

1. Head to Settings > Playlist once your playlist is added
2. Pick your playlist and find EPG Sources
3. Click Add EPG Source
4. Type in the EPG URL from your IPTV service
5. To get the best results after adding the EPG URL:
   • Go back to the main menu
   • Select Settings > EPG > Update EPG
   • Let the app download and sync your program data

You might want to look for an external EPG source if your provider hasn’t given you an EPG URL or if it’s not complete. Make sure your device’s time zone matches where your EPG data comes from for accurate timing.

Name and save your playlist

A good playlist organization helps when you use multiple IPTV services:

1. You’ll get a prompt to name your playlist during setup
2. Pick a name that helps you identify the service easily
3. You can customize more through Settings > Playlists:
   • Turn off any channel groups you don’t want
   • Set how you want logos to appear (usually “Prefer logos from EPG” works great)
   • Change how channel names show up by removing extra text

Here’s a quick way to find your favorite channels across playlists:

1. Press and hold select on any channel
2. Pick “Add to Favorites” from the menu
3. Find all your favorites in the Favorites tab

Make a backup after you’ve set up your playlist. Go to Settings > General > Backup to save your settings, which you can use on other devices or after a fresh install.

Now that you’ve set up your IPTV playlist and EPG, you can move on to turning on TiviMate Premium features to realize the full potential of your streaming setup.

Activate TiviMate Premium via Companion App

You’ll need to activate the premium version to discover TiviMate’s full potential. The TiviMate Premium purchase cannot be made directly from the Firestick app. The TiviMate Companion app from Google Play Store is required for activation.
