Written by

TiviMate is the most popular IPTV player for Amazon Fire TV devices because of its fast, cable-style TV guide. It is not in the Amazon Appstore, so you install it with the free Downloader app. The whole process takes about 5 minutes.

What you need

  • An Amazon Fire TV Stick, Fire TV Stick 4K / 4K Max or Fire TV Cube
  • An internet connection (15 Mbps+ for HD, 25 Mbps+ for 4K)
  • Your IPTV login: server URL, username and password (Xtream Codes) or an M3U link. RightIPTV customers receive these on WhatsApp.

Step 1: Enable apps from unknown sources

  1. From the Fire TV home screen, open Settings → My Fire TV.
  2. If you do not see Developer Options, go to About, select your device name and press the select button 7 times until it says you are a developer.
  3. Open Developer Options → Install unknown apps (you will turn this on for Downloader in step 2).

Step 2: Install Downloader

  1. Use the search icon on the home screen and search for Downloader.
  2. Install the orange Downloader app by AFTVnews.
  3. Back in Developer Options → Install unknown apps, switch Downloader to ON.

Step 3: Download and install TiviMate

  1. Open Downloader and allow it to access files if asked.
  2. In the URL box, enter the official TiviMate download address published on TiviMate’s website (or the code we send you on WhatsApp), then press Go.
  3. When the download finishes, choose Install, then Done.
  4. Delete the installation file when Downloader asks, to save space.

Safety tip: only download TiviMate from its official source. Modified APKs from unknown websites can contain malware.

Step 4: Add your IPTV playlist

  1. Open TiviMate and select Add playlist.
  2. Choose Xtream Codes (recommended) or M3U playlist.
  3. Enter the server address, username and password exactly as provided, then press Next.
  4. TiviMate loads your channels, TV guide (EPG) and movies. This can take a minute the first time.

Step 5: Optimize TiviMate for the best picture

  • Settings → Playback → Decoder: try Hardware first; switch to Software if a channel stutters.
  • Settings → EPG: set the guide to update every 12 hours.
  • Hide channel groups you don’t watch to make the guide faster.
  • Add favourites with a long press on the select button.

TiviMate Premium: is it worth it?

The free version of TiviMate works for basic viewing. TiviMate Premium (a paid upgrade bought through the TiviMate Companion app on an Android phone) adds multiple playlists, catch-up, recording, favourites management and more. Most daily IPTV users find it worth it.
