What Is Tivimate Pro?
Tivimate Pro (often written as TiviMate) is a popular IPTV player. It is designed to organize and play live TV channels inside a clean, TV-friendly interface.
Tivimate Pro does not come with channels by itself. To watch anything, you must add an IPTV subscription (usually via M3U or Xtream Codes). Once connected, Tivimate can display channels, categories, and an EPG (TV guide).
Tivimate Pro vs IPTV Subscription (Important)
This is the key distinction:
Tivimate Pro (Player)
- Organizes and plays streams
- Shows EPG, categories, favorites
- Does not provide channels
IPTV Subscription (Content Access)
- Provides the streams (live TV and VOD)
- Provides credentials (M3U or Xtream Codes)
- Quality depends on provider and your network

Playlists: M3U vs Xtream Codes
Most IPTV subscriptions can be added to Tivimate in one of two formats:
