How to Install & Set Up TiviMate on Firestick (2026 Ultimate Guide)

TiviMate is widely considered the best IPTV player for Amazon Fire TV and Android TV devices. Unlike other players, it offers a premium, modern interface that looks exactly like a high-end cable TV box, featuring a smooth Electronic Program Guide (EPG), group management, and multi-screen streaming.

Step 1: Allow Apps from Unknown Sources

Because TiviMate is not available directly on the official Amazon Appstore, you must side-load it using the Downloader application.

1. Go to the Firestick Home Screen and select the Settings gear icon.
2. Scroll down and click on My Fire TV.
3. Select Developer Options. (If you do not see this option, go to About, highlight your device name, and click the Select button on your remote 7 times until it says “You are now a developer”).
4. Turn ON the setting for Apps from Unknown Sources (or enable it specifically for the Downloader app).

Step 2: Install the Downloader Application

1. Return to the Home Screen, select the Find/Search bar, and type “Downloader”.
2. Select the orange Downloader icon and click Download/Install.
3. Open the Downloader app and click Allow when prompted for storage permissions.

Step 3: Download and Install TiviMate

1. Inside the Downloader search bar, type the following TiviMate direct download code: 250931 (or enter the direct URL: https://tivimate.com/tivimate.apk) and click Go.
2. Wait for the TiviMate APK file to finish downloading.
3. Click Install when the prompt appears. Once installed, click Done.
4. Click Delete twice to delete the installation APK file and save storage space on your Firestick.

Step 4: Set Up Your Playlist on TiviMate

Once you open the TiviMate application, you need to add your streaming credentials. We highly recommend using the Xtream Codes API method as it is more stable and loads EPG channel data automatically.

1. Open TiviMate and click Add Playlist.
2. Select Xtream Codes Login.
3. Enter the server address, username, and password provided by your provider (e.g., Planet IPTV).
4. Click Next. TiviMate will connect to the servers and begin downloading the channel list.
5. Enter a name for your playlist (e.g., “Planet IPTV”) and click Done.

Step 5: Set Up the TV Guide (EPG)

TiviMate automatically maps the EPG database from your Xtream Codes login. If your guide shows “No Information,” restart the application, or go to Settings > Playlists > [Your Playlist Name] > EPG Sources > Update to force a manual refresh.
