In this tutorial, I will show you how to install, set up, and use the TiviMate IPTV Player on Fire TV Stick and Android TV boxes. The instructions for Fire TV Stick can be used for all Amazon Fire TV devices, including FireStick Lite, FireStick 4K, New FireStick 4K, New FireStick 4K Max, and Fire TV Cube. After a brief introduction to TiviMate, we’ll start installing the app.
The popularity of IPTV services is on the rise. They offer huge libraries of live TV channels, movies, and TV series at a fraction of the price of established media giants. These IPTV services are compatible with a wide range of devices, such as FireStick, Android TV Box, iPhone, Android phone, NVIDIA Shield, and Fire TV Cube.
However, not every IPTV service provides a dedicated app to stream its content. Some rely on IPTV players to get the job done. Among the IPTV players, TiviMate Player is definitely one worth checking out.
What Is TiviMate?
Don’t confuse TiviMate with an IPTV provider.
TiviMate is an IPTV player that allows you to integrate third-party IPTV services with M3U links, Xtream codes, and Stalker Portal (we’ll discuss each of these later in the article). You can’t simply download TiviMate on a compatible device and watch TV channels or movies. You need an IPTV service that supports one of the three integration methods I mentioned.
So, first, we will download TiviMate on FireStick, and then we’ll use an IPTV service to enable the player’s capabilities. TiviMate offers a premium version as well. If you decide you’re going to use TiviMate regularly, I advise shelling out a few bucks for the advanced features.
How to Install TiviMate on FireStick
TiviMate isn’t officially available from the Amazon App Store. Users will have to rely on sideloading to install the app on their devices.
I’ve separated the sideloading steps into three parts to make it easier to follow along. First, we’ll need to get the Downloader app on the FireStick. Then, we’ll make necessary changes in our Fire TV settings. Finally, we’ll be able to download TiviMate APK with Downloader.
Go through all three parts below to get TiviMate on FireStick.
Part 1: Get Downloader on FireStick
1. Open the FireStick home screen. Go to the Find menu.
2. Select Search at the top.
3. It will open a virtual keyboard on your FireStick.
4. Start to type Downloader. Select Downloader when it shows up among the suggestions below the keyboard.
5. Select the Downloader app, which you can recognize by its orange background. Then, on the following screen, select the Get or Download button.
It will take a minute to install the Downloader app on your FireStick. Before you open the Downloader app to install TiviMate APK, you need to make changes in the FireStick settings menu. Otherwise, you will receive errors during installation.
Part 2: Change FireStick Settings
1. Press the home button on your FireStick remote. Go to the settings gear on the far right.
2. Scroll down and select My Fire TV.
3. Choose Developer Options.
4. Find Apps from Unknown Sources. By default, it’s off. Select it to turn it ON.
Now you can comfortably sideload any app installation file (APK) on the FireStick without any issue. Follow the steps below to install TiviMate APK on the FireStick using the Downloader app.
Part 3: Use Downloader to Install TiviMate on FireStick
1. Go to the Apps menu from the FireStick home.
2. Open the Downloader app and select the Enter a URL box on the home screen.
3. It will open a virtual keyboard. Type https://www.firesticktricks.com/tivi and hit Go at the bottom.
4. Downloader will install the latest TiviMate APK onto your FireStick. It’s about 11MB.
5. Click Install when prompted.
6. After installation, Delete the APK from your device
I suggest that our readers delete the APK file on the FireStick because it no longer serves a purpose—we’ve already used it to install TiviMate. In general, I advise you to keep your FireStick free from unnecessary files and media. Being low on storage will result in sluggish performance throughout the device.
That’s it, you’ve successfully installed the TiviMate APK on your FireStick. Now you are all set to enjoy hundreds of live channels, movies, and TV series on the FireStick. Before we discuss the app, let’s make a quick adjustment for our convenience.
