How to Install TiviMate on Firestick

Step 1: Get Downloader from the Fire TV Appstore

From Fire TV Home, open Find or Search and enter Downloader. Select the app by AFTVnews, choose Get or Download, and open it when installation finishes.

The example below is an older store listing. Match the developer and app name rather than expecting every label or icon to look identical.

Step 2: Reveal Developer Options if necessary

Open Settings → My Fire TV → About, highlight your device name and press the remote’s center/select button seven times. Return one screen to find Developer Options. Skip the seven presses if the menu is already available.

Step 3: Enable Downloader’s install permission

Go to Developer Options → Install unknown apps → Downloader and enable the permission. Older Fire OS versions may show Apps from Unknown Sources instead.

If Downloader is absent from the list, launch it and start the official download, then return to the permission screen when prompted. ADB debugging is not needed for this method. Turn the install permission off again after setup if you no longer need it.

Step 4: Download and install TiviMate

Open Downloader → Home and enter 272483 in the address field. Select Go. Alternatively, type https://tivimate.com/apk. Both are published on TiviMate’s official website.

Wait for the download, then select Install → Open. If installation is rejected, check your Fire OS compatibility and download source. Once the app opens, you can delete the downloaded installer file to free space.

Step 5: Start Add playlist

Open TiviMate and choose Add playlist. If a list is already installed, use the playlist section in Settings where your app edition permits it.

Select Xtream Codes for a server URL, username and password, or M3U playlist for a complete playlist URL. Your TiviMate Premium account is separate from your IPTV account.

Step 6: Enter your provider login

Xtream Codes

Enter the server address, username and password in their separate fields. Preserve the protocol and any port number supplied with the server address. Choose Include VOD if offered and you want to import the on-demand content available to your account.

Server address

The full server address supplied for your account.

Username

Your IPTV account username, copied exactly.

Password

Your IPTV account password, without added spaces.

M3U instead

Choose the M3U option and paste the complete playlist URL, including its query parameters. Do not paste the whole M3U link into the Xtream server field.

Need service credentials? Request an IPTV free trial 2026 and follow the account instructions you receive. Installing TiviMate alone does not create a content account.

Step 7: Finish importing and check the program guide

Continue through playlist processing and give the list a clear name if prompted. Wait for importing to finish before restarting setup.

If your M3U account includes a separate EPG URL, add that address in the player’s EPG settings. With other login methods, guide information may arrive with the account; check whether it is already loading before adding another source.

Set the Firestick to your actual local US time zone. Compare the channel’s regional feed before applying any manual guide offset. An East Coast schedule does not necessarily match a West Coast feed.

Step 8: Test playback and keep Premium separate

Try several available channels and check picture, audio and guide times on your normal network. Keep within your plan’s simultaneous-connection allowance.

TiviMate Premium unlocks player features; it does not provide channels or increase service connections. Review your IPTV subscription options separately after testing.

For interruptions, follow the buffering checklist before repeatedly reinstalling the app.
