TiviMate is the premium player on Android TV: its Google Play listing showed in-app purchases from $0.99 to $33.99 in October 2026, and the app carries no channels. When the grid works but the picture dies, you need a better source, not another app. IPTV Resale supplies 40,000+ channels for $7.50 a month annual — inside TiviMate.
Player vs playlist
TiviMate wins the Android TV interface argument, so most of these searches are about the playlist behind it.
TiviMate is candid about what it is. Its Google Play listing calls it a media player, lists M3U, Xtream Codes and Stalker support, and states that it does not provide content. Everything you watch arrives through credentials you type in; when a stream freezes, the player is only the messenger.
TiviMate, IPTV Smarters, XCIPTV and OTT Navigator compete on interface and features, each with its own price. None can add a channel. IPTV Resale is the other half: 40,000+ channels, 100,000+ titles and a 7-day EPG for $7.50 a month annual.

What you get
Nothing replaces the app if it suits your television. What arrives is the part TiviMate cannot supply: a lineup, a guide and someone accountable for both.
40,000+ channels across 150+ countries, searchable in TiviMate’s interface, with sports and international lineups covered.
TiviMate’s grid is only as good as what it receives, so we send seven days of listings rather than a blank schedule.
Premier League, NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and PPV in native 4K where broadcast, with AntiFreeze at peak hours.
Keep TiviMate’s recorder on your device; the subscription gives it something reliable to record.
The VOD library sits inside the same player, so films and box sets open without a second app.
When a channel dies the ticket goes to us, not the app developer: 24/7 support, median reply under five minutes.
Pricing
TiviMate sells features; this sells channels. Every plan carries the full lineup, 4K sport, VOD and EPG — $90 a year, or $7.50 a month. See the IPTV subscription guide.

Switch in minutes
You keep the app: add a second playlist, compare it with the old one, then delete the loser.
If TiviMate opens, the guide shows and half the channels are dead, the app works — the playlist does not. That is the part being replaced.
Start the free 24-hour trial, open TiviMate, add a playlist with Xtream Codes and enter the emailed credentials. Both playlists sit side by side while you compare.
Check a 4K event, browse the EPG and confirm your five channels load. The installation tutorials cover TiviMate on Firestick and Android TV.
Remove the old login once the new one is stable, then cancel on its terms. The 7-day refund covers the first week.
FAQ
No. TiviMate’s Play listing describes a media player with no content. It accepts M3U, Xtream Codes and Stalker logins, so every channel comes from a playlist someone else runs — exactly what a subscription supplies.
Yes. Choose Xtream Codes when adding a playlist in TiviMate and enter the server address, username and password from the welcome email. The channel list and seven-day EPG populate the grid you know.
It is free to install, and the Play listing showed in-app purchases from $0.99 to $33.99 per item in October 2026 for paid features. That buys player functions such as recording and multiview, never channels.
The grid is only as good as the guide data behind it, so the provider matters more. TiviMate draws the best large-screen guide, IPTV Smarters has the simplest login, and XCIPTV and OTT Navigator offer their own layouts. We send a full seven-day EPG.
Recording is the player’s job: TiviMate records to the device it runs on. Watching several screens is the subscription’s job, and IPTV Resale supports 1 to 5 connections. Multiview inside one TiviMate screen needs its paid tier.
Keep TiviMate and give it 40,000+ channels, a 7-day EPG and 4K sport for $7.50 a month — free 24-hour trial, 7-day refund.
