TiviMate is one of the most popular IPTV player apps in Canada — and for good reason. It offers a cable-TV-style interface with a full program guide, multi-screen support, and advanced customization. This guide walks you through setting it up with KoalaIPTV.com.

What Is TiviMate?

TiviMate is a premium Android IPTV player available on the Google Play Store and the Amazon App Store. It supports M3U playlists and Xtream Codes API, which is what KoalaIPTV.com uses. Key features:

  • Full EPG (Electronic Program Guide) with a TV-style grid layout
  • Catch-up / replay (watch content that aired in the last 3–7 days)
  • Multi-screen viewing on Android TV devices
  • Favorite channels list and channel groups
  • Multiple playlist support (manage multiple IPTV subscriptions in one app)
  • Advanced codec and buffer settings

Compatible Devices for TiviMate

TiviMate is Android-only. It works on:

  • Amazon Firestick and Fire TV Cube — the most popular combination in Canada
  • Android TV Boxes — BuzzTV, Formuler, MAG with Android
  • Android TV Smart TVs — Sony, Philips, Sharp with Android TV
  • Google TV devices — Chromecast with Google TV

TiviMate is NOT available on iPhone, iPad, or Samsung/LG Smart TVs (those use different operating systems). For iOS or Samsung/LG, use IBO Player or Hot Player instead.

Step-by-Step: Installing TiviMate on Firestick

  1. On your Firestick, go to Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options
  2. Enable Install Unknown Apps and set it to allow for the Downloader app
  3. Install the Downloader app from the Amazon App Store if you don't have it
  4. Open Downloader and enter the APK URL provided by KoalaIPTV support — or search for TiviMate on the Amazon App Store directly (available there as well)
  5. Install TiviMate and open it

Step-by-Step: Adding KoalaIPTV.com to TiviMate

  1. Open TiviMate and tap Add Playlist
  2. Select Xtream Codes API (recommended) or M3U URL
  3. If using Xtream Codes: enter your server URL, username, and password from your KoalaIPTV welcome email
  4. If using M3U: paste the M3U link from your welcome email
  5. Wait for the channel list to load — this may take 1–3 minutes on the first load
  6. Once loaded, your channels will be organized in groups (Sports, News, Entertainment, etc.)

Recommended TiviMate Settings for Canada

  • Buffer size: set to 10–15 seconds to reduce buffering on busy channels
  • Video decoder: use hardware decoder for 4K; software decoder if you see green screen glitches
  • EPG source: TiviMate can load the EPG automatically from your Xtream Codes server
  • Auto start on boot: enable if you want TiviMate to launch when your Firestick powers on

TiviMate Premium vs Free

TiviMate has a free version and a premium version (~$5.99/year or a one-time purchase). The free version supports one playlist and basic playback. Premium unlocks:

  • Multiple playlist support
  • Catch-up / replay
  • Multi-screen picture-in-picture
  • Recorded shows

For most Canadian users, the free version is fine to get started. Upgrade to premium if you want catch-up or recording.
