Step-by-Step: How to Use IPTV Free Trial with TiviMate
Install TiviMate on Your Device
📱 Android TV (Nvidia Shield, Sony, TCL)
- Open the Google Play Store
- Search for "TiviMate"
- Tap Install
- Open TiviMate once installed
🔥 Amazon Firestick
- Install the free Downloader app from the Amazon Appstore
- Allow installs from unknown apps for Downloader in Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options
- Enter the TiviMate download link or code in Downloader and install
- Open TiviMate after installation
Add Your IPTV Free Trial Playlist
Once TiviMate is open, follow these steps to connect your IPTV Free Trial subscription:
- Tap "Add Playlist" (or Settings → Playlists → Add Playlist)
- Select "Xtream Codes" as the playlist type
- Enter a name — e.g. "IPTV Free Trial"
- Enter your Server URL (provided via WhatsApp)
- Enter your Username (provided via WhatsApp)
- Enter your Password (provided via WhatsApp)
- Tap "Next" and wait for the playlist to load
💡 Pro Tip
The Xtream Codes method is the most reliable. If you prefer using an M3U URL, select "M3U URL" instead and paste your link.
Configure the EPG (Electronic Program Guide)
The EPG shows what's playing now and what's coming up — essential for browsing 55,000+ channels.
- Go to Settings → Playlists → Select your IPTV Free Trial playlist
- Tap on "EPG"
- Select "Add EPG"
- Enter the EPG URL provided via WhatsApp
- Tap "OK" and wait 2–3 minutes for EPG to fully load
- Return to the main screen and tap the program guide icon
✅ Success
Once the EPG loads, you'll see the programme schedule for your channels in a grid. With an Xtream Codes login the guide usually loads on its own, so you may not need to add a URL at all.
Set Up Your Favorite Channels
With 55,000+ channels on IPTV Free Trial, a favorites list is essential:
- Browse channels by tapping the channel icon on the main screen
- Press and hold the OK button on your remote when you find a channel you like
- Select "Add to Favorites" from the pop-up menu
- View your favorites from the main menu under "Favorites"
- Create multiple groups — e.g. "Sports", "Movies", "News"

Upgrade to TiviMate Premium (Optional but Recommended)
The free version covers the basics, and Premium unlocks the features most people end up wanting. It is sold as a yearly or lifetime licence; check the current price in the TiviMate Companion app:
- ✓Multi-view — Watch several channels on one screen
- ✓Live TV recording — Record to external USB or network storage
- ✓Favourites management — Custom groups and channel ordering
- ✓Multiple playlists — Keep more than one login in the app
To upgrade: buy Premium in the TiviMate Companion phone app, then sign in with the same account inside TiviMate on your TV device.
🏆 Pro Tip — Best Setup for 4K
For 4K channels, run TiviMate on a capable device such as an Nvidia Shield Pro or a recent Fire TV 4K model with a wired Ethernet connection. A fast device and a cable remove the two most common causes of stutter.
Getting the Most From a 24-Hour Trial in TiviMate
A day goes quickly, so set TiviMate up as soon as your login arrives and test what matters to you rather than scrolling the whole list. If you have not asked for a login yet, you can request trial details on WhatsApp without a credit card.
- ✓Open the guide and check that times match your local schedule
- ✓Play a 4K channel and a sports channel on the TV you will actually use
- ✓Try catch-up on a programme from earlier in the day
- ✓Watch during your usual evening hours, when networks are busiest
- ✓Add the same login on a second device if you plan to use more than one
Do You Need TiviMate Premium for a Trial?
No. The free version is enough to judge picture quality, channel range and the guide during a trial. Premium becomes useful once you subscribe and want favourites groups, recording or multi-view for sport. If TiviMate refuses to start or keeps crashing, our TiviMate crash and error fixes cover the usual causes, and the Downloader code for installing TiviMate page shows the Firestick install in detail.
