What to have ready before opening TiViMate
- Hardware built on Android: Google TV, Android TV, a Fire OS stick or an Android box
- The Xtream credentials from your activation message
- The Premium licence only if replays, recording, split-screen or extra playlists become necessary
- An Android handset, relevant solely because Premium is bought inside the Companion app

Set up TiViMate with your AllTimeIPTV login: 13 steps
Install TiViMate
Google TV and Android TV owners search Google Play for TiViMate IPTV Player and install it without paying. Fire OS sticks take it through Downloader instead, which rules out the Vega OS models and leaves the 4K Plus and 4K Max. Nothing exists for Tizen, webOS or Apple, where IPTV Smarters Pro is the player to use.
Add AllTimeIPTV as an Xtream playlist
Select Add playlist, then the Xtream Codes type. Enter the three WhatsApp details into their fields, server address first, and press Next. The app verifies the account against the server, then shows a summary of what it found, covering live channels and, where you enable it, on-demand titles.
Name the playlist and clear unused groups
Call it AllTimeIPTV and move on. What appears next is the group list, and everything nobody in the house watches can be unticked here. Hold on to news, sport, entertainment and childrens groups that genuinely get used. None of this is written in stone, since a group can be brought back whenever you want it.
Sort groups so the guide opens faster
Manage groups, reached through Settings, Playlists and the AllTimeIPTV entry, is where the tidying happens. Hide whatever else is dead weight and drag the regulars to the head of the list. Modest hardware scrolls a lean list far faster, and anyone who wants the same handful of channels every night finds them immediately.
Schedule guide updates
Under Settings, EPG, pick an update interval of 12 or 24 hours. Nothing needs pasting, because an Xtream playlist brings its schedule source along with it. Those refreshes earn their keep around holidays and the start of a new season, when broadcasters rearrange things at short notice.
Correct listings that run early or late
Look at the zone on the device before anything else, as a misconfigured system clock is behind most offsets. Then follow Settings, EPG, EPG sources and pick the source concerned. Time offset there moves whole hours in either direction; keep nudging it until the grid matches what is genuinely on air.
Switch on Auto frame rate
Settings, Playback holds Auto frame rate, and it belongs switched on. Each channel is then shown at the rate it was produced at, 24, 25 or 50 frames, which takes the judder out of slow camera movement. Fire OS owners should leave the system frame-rate option alone, since the two fight each other.
Set the buffer to match your connection
The same Playback page carries buffer size, which is simply how much video is kept in hand when the line dips. Medium serves everyday HD. Where 4K stalls over wireless, push it to Large or Very large and live with channel changes taking a moment longer. None belongs on a fast wired link only.
Choose subtitles and audio tracks
Hold OK while something is playing and a panel slides across with both track lists on it. Everything there comes from the stream, and a single soundtrack is common on live channels. Caption size and colour configured in the Android TV accessibility settings reach only the apps that use system captions.
Run the free version for a week first
Just watch for a few days before changing anything or spending anything. The grid, the groups and one playlist are all present without a licence, which is what daily viewing needs. Our 24-hour trial covers the other half of the test, and the evening to try it is a busy one, when the network is loaded.
Buy Premium in Companion if you need it
The licence is sold only through TiViMate Companion, an app for Android handsets, either yearly or outright. A single account stretches to five devices, so one purchase can cover every television under the roof. Read your local price inside Companion, and ignore codes offered anywhere else.
Use replays and recordings with Premium
Licensed, the grid lets you move leftward across channels with an archive to reach something already broadcast. A future programme can be highlighted and captured to internal storage or a USB drive as well. Deep standby will interrupt that, so the device has to stay awake, and a capture in progress uses one of your streams.
Lock groups with a parental PIN
Turning parental control on, from Settings, prompts for a code. Then flag whichever groups or individual channels should be shut away, and shield the settings menu too if that helps. On recent releases this sits behind the licence, so an option greyed out usually means Premium is not active on that particular device.
Common TiViMate problems and how to clear them
The playlist refuses to load
Nine times in ten the port is missing from the server line; an expired period is the next candidate. Type the password out rather than pasting it, because a trailing space you cannot see is enough for the server to turn the whole request away.
The guide reads No information
Force an update under Settings, EPG, then reopen TiViMate so the new data loads. Where only a handful of channels stay blank, those broadcasters publish no schedule data at all and nothing in the app will change that.
A channel offers no catch-up
Replays require Premium together with a channel that carries an archive. Archived channels show a small archive symbol in the guide, and a channel without it has nothing to replay. Check the device date too, because a wrong clock hides past programmes completely.
On-demand titles are missing
Live viewing is what this player was designed around, and catalogue content shows up only where the playlist was set to include it, on versions carrying that switch. Check the playlist settings. Anyone who spends real time browsing films is better served by IPTV Smarters Pro using the same credentials.
Multi-view shows only one window
Two things are required: the licence, and enough capacity on the plan, because every tile is a stream in its own right. One device allowed means one tile. Two tiles want two devices; a four-way grid wants the 5-device tier. Decide on the layout first, then check the tier against it.
Adding a second playlist asks for Premium
Only one playlist fits without a licence. Either buy Premium through Companion, or delete the playlist you have before entering the other. Where several accounts need to coexist at no cost, IPTV Smarters Pro handles multiple users happily.
A recording is missing or empty
Two causes dominate: no space left, or a destination folder that cannot be written to. Check the save location in the settings, and reformat a USB drive the box cannot read. It is also worth ruling out deep standby, which will cut a capture off part-way through.
Listings shift after the clocks change
For a few days after the clocks move, a schedule source can still be publishing on the old hour. Use Time offset under Settings, EPG, EPG sources to compensate in the meantime, then put it back to zero as soon as the source has caught up.
Premium asks you to sign in again
That licence lives on your TiViMate account, so wiping a device or reinstalling the app can log it out. Sign in with whichever account paid for it. Where all five slots are already taken, free one up before you try to activate a new piece of hardware.

TiViMate questions from AllTimeIPTV users
Does TiViMate Premium include any channels?
It does not, and no player licence ever will. What the money buys is behaviour inside the app: replays, recording, a split screen. Programming arrives from a service added as a playlist. Without one, the grid stays empty whether or not the licence is active, so never buy it expecting content.
Will the unpaid TiViMate build satisfy most homes?
Very often, yes. The grid, the groups and a playlist slot are all there unpaid, which is everything routine viewing asks for. A licence becomes worthwhile when rewinding, recording, tiled channels, locks or multiple playlists enter the picture. Try the free build against our 24-hour trial and find out.
Where is TiViMate Premium sold?
Only inside the TiViMate Companion app on Android phones, offered as a yearly or lifetime licence. Pricing varies by country, so read your local figure in Companion. Licence codes sold on other websites are routinely revoked, which leaves you with a device that loses Premium without warning.
Does one Premium licence cover several televisions?
Up to five devices on one account, yes. Keep the two limits apart in your head, though: streams playing simultaneously are governed by your plan instead, so three televisions watching together still need a 3-device tier no matter how the licence is spread.
Can TiViMate show films and series from AllTimeIPTV?
Where the playlist was configured to carry them, yes, although live television is plainly its strength. Categories, seasons and resume markers are handled more comfortably in IPTV Smarters Pro. Neither app costs anything, both take the same credentials, and one box can happily run the pair.
How do I watch two channels at once in TiViMate?
Through multi-view, which the licence unlocks. Start a channel, open the playback menu and add the second one into a split screen. Because every tile draws its own stream, the tier has to allow at least two devices, and a larger grid needs a correspondingly larger one.
Is a TiViMate account needed alongside my viewing credentials?
Only Premium buyers do, since that account is where the licence is recorded, across as many as five devices. Your viewing credentials are a different thing altogether: they carry the channels and enforce how many streams run. Free users skip the account entirely and simply add a playlist.
Does TiViMate run on phones or tablets?
It does not, having been built for a television screen and a remote control. The handset app from the same developer, Companion, exists to purchase and manage the licence. For watching on a phone or tablet, turn to IPTV Smarters Pro, or Smarters Player Lite on Apple devices, with the same credentials.
Are modified TiViMate builds with Premium unlocked safe?
They are not worth the risk. Repackaged builds have been found carrying malware, they break whenever the real app updates, and they leave your devices exposed. The genuine app is on Google Play for Google TV and Android TV, and sideloads onto Fire OS through Downloader. Pay in Companion or stay free.
