The Play Store route
- Open the Google Play Store on the device.
- Search for TiviMate IPTV Player.
- Confirm the publisher is Armobsoft FZE.
- Install, launch, and add the playlist.
Nvidia Shield notes
The Shield is the headroom pick: its processor handles large playlists, recording, and multi-view without the stutter that weaker boxes show. USB storage is straightforward, which makes it the natural recording box.
Onn boxes
Onn 4K boxes run the same Google TV flow at a budget price. If the listing is hidden on a specific unit, sideload the TiviMate APK instead of fighting the store.
Chromecast storage warning
Chromecast devices ship with little usable storage, and the EPG cache grows into it. Trim stored guide days, delete installer files after sideloading, and clear app cache before assuming a bigger problem.
Verify on each device
- Play one live channel.
- Open the guide and confirm programme data.
- Confirm groups and favorites behave.
- Once installed, the same TiviMate setup verification applies on every device.
