TiviMate is a popular all-inclusive IPTV Player that works with IPTV Services that provide an M3U URL.
This literally makes TiviMate ultimate must-have IPTV player and there will be no more need of using worst MAC Portal player, STBEmu. I can't force you to do anything but you must give all respect and support so we get VOD support as well asap. Enjoy watching MAC Portal playlists!
You can usually find this in the support documents or online discussion board that most IPTV services offer for their subscribers.
There is both a premium version and free version of the software available for use. However, We suggests purchasing a premium account for a much more enjoyable experience.
The premium option includes the following features not available with the free version:
As you can see, without the premium upgrade, there isn’t much sense in using the app.
We suggest first installing the free app via the instructions below. If you like the app, you can register for the premium version and we cover that below as well.
1. Install the Downloader app from your respective App Store (Amazon App Store or Google Play) and turn on Apps from Unknown sources in the settings of your streaming device.
If you haven’t done this yet please refer to the following screenshot tutorial that demonstrates this simple process.
2. Launch Downloader.
3. Click Allow.
4. Click OK.
5. Place your cursor in the URL box and click the OK button on your remote to open the keyboard.
6. Type the following URL exactly as shown here: https://troypoint.com/tivi and click Go.
7. Wait for the file to download.
8. Click Install.
9. Click Done.
10. This will take you back to Downloader. Click Delete.
11. Click Delete again.
12. Return to device home-screen and under “Your Apps & Channels” click See All.
13. Scroll down to hover over TiviMate.
14. Click Menu button on remote (3 horizontal lines), then click Move to Front.
App installation is now complete!
After the app installation is complete, we can open the app and authorize an IPTV Service for use.
NOTE: Initializing an IPTV Service within TiviMate requires an M3U URL.
After setup is complete, Follow the steps below to integrate IPTV Service in TiviMate:
1. Open TiviMate App and click Add Playlist
2. Click Enter URL
3. Enter the provided M3U URL from your IPTV Service with your account info inserted.
You will usually have two M3U URLs. One is for the channel listings and one is for the EPG (TV Guide). We will insert the EPG M3U URL in step #8 below.
Most M3U URLs require that you input your service username and password.
You will usually see where these go inside the URL as they are indicated by “username=xxxx” & password=xxxx”.
You will input your username and password where the x’s are located.
IPTV Service M3U LINKS
NOTE: The top link is your login and the bottom link is for the EPG.
Replace the xxxs with your service username and password.
Once you have inserted your username and password into the URL, you can use the bit.ly service and shorten the URL so it is easier to type into the box below. That’s what we did.
If you don’t want to use bit.ly you need to ensure that the address is typed into the box with no mistakes. One wrong character in the address and this will not work.
4. Click Next.
5. Wait for Channels to insert.
6. You will then see Playlist is processed message with Channel count and your Playlist name. Click Next.
7. We will now insert TV Guide. Choose Enter URL.
8. Type the EPG M3U URL or shortened bit.ly URL for your TV Guide.
9. Click Done.
10. TV Guide will import and you are able to start viewing!

IPTVS TIP: I highly suggest reading the details and features guide below that will show you how to get the most out of this awesome app!
Upon installing TiviMate, you will immediately notice the unique interface it provides. This varies from other IPTV Service apps and works fabulously.
The menu bar on the left lists your Playlist Categories or “Groups” as they are referred to in the app. These can be hidden, removed, and managed all within the Settings.
This is a great way to eliminate any unwanted Channel lists that you don’t use or need.
With TiviMate, users can integrate multiple services or “Playlists” within the app meaning you can combine two or more Services into one!
This is a great way to ensure your live streaming is always available and manage your favorite channels across multiple platforms.
Navigating this app is a breeze when using your streaming device’s remote. If using a Firestick, the following options are available:

To remove an unwanted or unused Group, simply switch the toggle off:
Only highlighted groups will now be visible on the left side menu bar of the home-screen. To adjust the order of these, simply click Manage positions:
Click to highlight and adjust group position to your preference! We suggest using the Favorites Tab at the top for a personal streaming experience.

Within the Settings option of TiviMate are tons of features and options that will help you get the most out of your Live TV experience.
Adjusting these will help cater the app to your specific preferences. We suggest checking out all of these Categories to ensure the app is set to your liking.
While other IPTV Services and Players fall short when it comes to Closed Captioning, TiviMate does not.
That being said, working subtitles will vary from Channel to Channel within the app.
How To Enable Subtitles:
