Setup guide

TiviMate is a paid app; its fee goes to the developer, separately from your IPTV plan. 4K is no problem for the Chromecast with Google TV; give it a 25 Mbps connection and a 4K TV and the sharper feeds hold up. Choose a plan, message us on WhatsApp, and expect your login details in about a minute.

  • Order on WhatsApp from the buy page. Your login details come back in the same chat, usually within a minute.

  • Choose the Xtream Codes login in TiviMate and enter the server URL (including http:// and the port), the username and the password exactly as sent.
  • Wait for the first load to finish, open a channel to test it, and star the ones you watch most.

The first time you open it

Expect a short wait on first sign-in while TiviMate downloads the playlist and guide. Then you'll see channel groups by category and country; open one, highlight a channel, and the guide shows what's on now and next.

Settings that help on the Chromecast with Google TV

  • Close apps you are not using; sticks have limited memory.
  • An Ethernet adapter is the biggest single upgrade for a stick on weak Wi-Fi.
  • Use the HDMI extender that came in the box if the port is cramped; it helps Wi-Fi reception and heat.
  • Buffer: a medium buffer of about 2 to 3 seconds smooths short dips without adding much delay.

  • "Invalid credentials": retype the server URL with http:// and the port, and check capital letters; the username and password are case-sensitive.
  • Buffering on sports only: run a speed test on the Chromecast with Google TV. Below about 25 Mbps, use the HD version of the channel.
  • Guide off by an hour or more: check the Chromecast with Google TV's time zone first, then the EPG offset in TiviMate.
  • Channels but no guide: refresh the EPG in TiviMate's settings, or give it a few minutes after the first sign-in.
