Walking through the setup
Confirm the gear is Android
Get this straight first and save a pointless download: TiviMate will not run on an Apple TV, a Samsung or an LG, so use Smarters there. What fits is a Firestick, an Android box, an Android TV or a Google TV.
Install it
On Android TV and Google TV it is a plain Play Store install. A Firestick, having no Play Store, gets it by sideloading through Downloader exactly as the Firestick guide lays out.
Hand over the Xtream login
Open it, take Add playlist, then Xtream Codes login, and supply the server address, username and password before you press Next. No M3U field is involved and you will not need one.
Name it and draw the guide
Label the playlist something you would know if a second ever appears, then let the channels and grid arrive. Under Settings, TV guide, set the refresh to twelve hours; since the EPG travels with the login, there is no separate URL to track down.
Judge Premium, then test a match
Here is the usual stumble: Premium is purchased in the separate TiviMate Companion app on a phone, not on the TV. Figure about $6 a year, or a one-off lifetime licence, with a week to try recording and the split view. Put a live game on afterwards to be sure the guide aligns.
If it misbehaves
It says the playlist could not be loaded
Two things, in order: that the server address still has its port, and that the plan is still active. Then retype the password by hand — pasted from a chat, it smuggles in an invisible space around half the time.
The grid says no information
Force it through Settings, TV guide, Update now, then relaunch. On a big list, that first guide build can also just want more patience than people tend to give it.

TiviMate: common questions
What does TiviMate Premium cost?
Roughly $6 a year, or a one-off lifetime unlock, depending on your region. It is bought inside the Companion app on your phone rather than on the TV, and a seven-day trial lets you decide whether recording and the split view are worth it.
Does 4KIPTVUS work with TiviMate?
It does, no special steps required. Each account is a standard Xtream Codes login, which is precisely what TiviMate expects, so the guide, catch-up and on-demand appear on their own. Add it under Add playlist and select Xtream Codes login.
