TiviMate Premium Setup Guide: The Best IPTV Player for Android (2026)

If you are using an Android TV Box, Nvidia Shield, or Firestick, TiviMate is arguably the most powerful and well-designed IPTV player available today. When paired with a robust provider like Benzoo TV, you get a premium cable-like experience with an ultra-fast EPG (TV Guide) and flawless 4K streaming.

Step 1: Install TiviMate App

There are two ways to get TiviMate depending on your device:

• For Android TV (Nvidia Shield, Chromecast): Simply open the Google Play Store, search for "TiviMate IPTV Player", and click Install.
• For Firestick: Open the Downloader app and type in the direct APK code for TiviMate, then install.

Step 2: Add Your Benzoo TV Playlist (Xtream Codes)

Once you open TiviMate, you will be asked to add a playlist. The best and fastest way to do this is using the Xtream Codes Login method:

• Click on Add Playlist.
• Select Xtream Codes Login.
• Enter your Server Address (Portal URL).
• Enter your Username and Password.
• Check the box that says "Include VOD" if you want movies and series.

Step 3: Upgrade to TiviMate Premium (Optional)

While the free version of TiviMate works great for watching live TV, upgrading to Premium unlocks game-changing features:

• Catch-up TV: Watch missed shows from the past few days.
• Multi-view: Watch up to 4 live sports events on the same screen.
• Favorites Management: Easily organize your top channels.
• Scheduled Recording: Record matches to watch later.

To upgrade, you will need to download the "TiviMate Companion" app on an Android phone, create an account, and pay the subscription (approx. $7.99/year or $27.99 lifetime).

Step 4: Optimize Settings for Zero Buffering

To ensure you get the absolute best performance from Benzoo TV servers, go to TiviMate Settings -> Playback, and change the Buffer Size to "Large" or "Extra Large". This helps immensely if you are watching high-bitrate 4K sports events.
