Hey there! So, you’ve got your Firestick and you are looking for How to Install TiviMate on Firestick after you’ve heard the buzz about TiviMate. Smart move. Think of TiviMate as the ultimate universal remote for your IPTV service. It doesn’t provide channels itself, but it organizes the ones you have into a beautiful, fast, and professional-looking guide. It’s like taking a messy pile of your favorite songs and having an app instantly sort them into perfect playlists.
Since TiviMate isn’t in the official Amazon Appstore, we have to “sideload” it. Sounds technical, but trust me, it’s super simple. We just need to give your Firestick permission to install it.
Ready? Let’s do this.
Part 1: Prepping Your Firestick to Install TiviMate – The 2-Minute ‘Unlock’
First, we need to tell your Firestick it’s okay to install apps from outside its own store.
- From your Firestick home screen, navigate to the Settings icon (the little gear ⚙️).
- Select My Fire TV.
- Click on About.
- Now, highlight Fire TV Stick and press the select button on your remote 7 times. Seriously! You’ll see a little message at the bottom saying, “No need, you are already a developer.”
- Press the back button once. You’ll now see a new option: Developer Options. Open it.
- Select Install unknown apps (or Apps from Unknown Sources on older models) and turn it ON for the Downloader app. If you don’t have Downloader yet, don’t worry, that’s our very next step.
Part 2: The Main Event – Getting TiviMate Onboard
The easiest way to grab TiviMate is by using an app called Downloader.
- Get Downloader: Go back to the Firestick home screen. Navigate to Find, then Search. Type in “Downloader.” It’s the orange one. Download and install it.
- Open Downloader: Launch the app. It will ask for permission to access files; click Allow.
- Enter the Code: In the URL box, you’ll enter a special shortcode to download the TiviMate file. The most common and direct link is via the official developer’s site, but for simplicity, people use shortcodes. A reliable code for the latest stable version is 27898.
- Just type 27898 into the box and hit Go.
- Download and Install: The app will redirect and the TiviMate file (
.apk) will start downloading. Once it’s done, a new screen will pop up. Just click Install. - Clean Up: Once it’s installed, click Done (not Open yet!). It will take you back to Downloader, which will smartly ask if you want to delete the installation file. You do! It’s just taking up space. Click Delete.
And that’s it! TiviMate is now chilling in your app library. You can find it by holding the home button on your remote and clicking Apps. I recommend moving it to the front for easy access.
Part 3: Adding Your IPTV Service
Now that you have the empty playlist app, it’s time to add your music (your channels).
- Open TiviMate.
- Click Add Playlist.
- You’ll be asked for your provider’s details. Most providers will give you an M3U URL or Xtream Codes login (username, password, and server URL). Just enter the info they gave you.
- Once entered, TiviMate will process it, and voilà! Your channels and TV guide will load up.
⭐ Lesson Learned the Hard Way (A Pro Fix Tip): If you ever experience buffering or stuttering, especially on live sports, don’t blame your provider right away. Go into TiviMate Settings > Playback > and find the Buffer Size. Increase it from “None” to “Medium” or “Large.” This gives the Firestick more time to load the stream in advance, smoothing out any little network hiccups. It’s a game-changer.
Summary
To install TiviMate, first enable “Install unknown apps” in your Firestick’s developer settings. Then, use the Downloader app with a direct code to download and install the TiviMate application before setting it up with your IPTV provider’s details.
