TiviMate Premium UK: IPTV that works in TiviMate

TiviMate Premium UK in one minute

TiviMate itself is free to download. The paid tier, Premium, is something only its developer sells, and the developer's terms say the available plans, their billing periods and their prices are shown at the point of purchase. In Britain that means you see a price in pounds sterling on Google Play, or on the developer's site, before you confirm. There is no fixed UK price list to quote, so look at the figure on screen rather than a number from a forum.

Premium switches on extra app features, such as recording and several playlists. It does not bring a single channel. The programmes you watch in the app come from an IPTV subscription, which is what we provide. That split matters when you shop for TiviMate Premium UK deals online: anyone offering cheap Premium codes or a ready-made account is not the developer, and you have no way to know what you are buying. The safe route is described in our guide to buying TiviMate Premium officially.

In short: TiviMate Premium UK comes from the developer, in pounds. Our IPTV service comes from us, in dollars, with pounds shown for reference. You need the second to watch anything; the first is optional.

What to plug in: UK sticks and boxes for TiviMate

The developer's Google Play listing describes TiviMate as designed for Android TV, so in a British lounge you want an Android TV, Google TV or Fire OS device behind the telly. Here is what works, with each maker's own published specifications. Every one of them runs the free app and TiviMate Premium UK alike.

The 4K Max is the pick for most flats: it hides behind the screen, and Amazon lists Wi-Fi 6E on it. The Google TV Streamer suits a larger house where you can run a cable from the router, because the port is built in and Google Play is there from the first boot.

Warning. Not every new Fire TV Stick is a Fire OS stick. Amazon's own spec page lists the Fire TV Stick 4K Select, the Fire TV Stick HD (2026) (Wi-Fi 6, rounded corners, "Fire TV" printed on the stick) and the Fire TV Stick 4K - 3rd Gen (2026) (white box, "4K" printed next to the HDMI plug) on Vega OS, and those models cannot install TiviMate. To check, open Settings › My Fire TV › About (on newer menus, Settings › Device › Fire TV) and read the software version: "Fire OS" means TiviMate installs; "OS" followed by a number starting with 1 or 2 means Vega OS.

Plenty of UK homes watch on a Samsung or LG set without any box. Samsung's TVs run Tizen and LG's run webOS, and TiviMate is in neither app store. You can still watch our service on them through IPTV Smarters or IBO Player, using our Samsung and LG TV setup guide, or add a stick to get TiviMate itself. Sony, TCL, Philips and Hisense sell Google TV sets with Google Play built in, so on those televisions TiviMate installs directly.

GMT, BST and the TiviMate programme guide

According to gov.uk, the UK runs on Greenwich Mean Time in winter and British Summer Time, one hour ahead, in summer. The clocks go forward at 1am on the last Sunday in March and back at 2am on the last Sunday in October. In 2026 that was 29 March and 25 October, so if your guide looked an hour out this week, the autumn change is the likely cause.

1. Set your Fire TV or Google TV device to use the network time and the London time zone. With the device clock right, the guide normally follows GMT and BST by itself.
2. Open the programme guide in TiviMate and check a programme whose start time you know.
3. If every listing is out by the same amount, shift the guide time in TiviMate. The steps are in our TiviMate EPG guide, with fixes for an empty or stale guide too.
4. Leave catch-up and reminders until the guide is right, because both rely on the listed times.

Tip. Watching on holiday in Spain or Portugal? Let the device take the local time first. The same TiviMate Premium UK account and the same IPTV login carry on working; only the clock changes.

Broadband and Wi-Fi in British homes

Our streams need roughly 5 Mbps for SD, 10 Mbps for Full HD and 25 Mbps for 4K on each screen at once. A fibre broadband package normally has that to spare, but thick walls, an upstairs router and a busy evening network can still cause the odd stutter.

• Run a cable if you can. The Google TV Streamer, the Fire TV Cube and the SHIELD have a socket; the 4K Max needs Amazon's adapter.
• On Wi-Fi, choose the 5 GHz band of your router and keep the stick in line of sight. Amazon notes the 4K Max only uses Wi-Fi 6E with a compatible router.
• Google's Chromecast help recommends restarting the router and modem, and keeping the router within about 20 feet, roughly 6 metres, of the streaming device.
• Check the speed where the telly is, not by the router, with our IPTV speed test on a phone or laptop.

Mesh systems help in long terraced houses where a single router cannot reach the back room. If the speed is fine and one channel still freezes, send us its name on WhatsApp and we will look at it from our side. Buffering has nothing to do with TiviMate Premium UK, since the upgrade adds features rather than bandwidth.

Paying from the UK in dollars

We charge in US dollars, so a UK card is billed in USD and your bank converts the amount into pounds at its own rate. Some banks add a foreign transaction fee; a card without one, or PayPal, can keep the sterling cost close to the figure we show. Payment options are Visa, Mastercard and American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, Bitcoin and USDT, Western Union, MoneyGram and bank transfer.

Nothing renews on its own: each plan is billed once and stops at the end of its term. If it is not for you, our 7-day money-back policy sets out how to ask for your money back. We never collect payment for TiviMate Premium UK; that purchase belongs to the developer alone.

Which plan suits a UK household?

Think in screens watching at the same moment, not in TVs owned. A couple sharing one lounge telly needs one device. A family with a lounge, a kids' room and a tablet in the kitchen at teatime needs three. A student in halls usually manages with one, and the 12-month single-screen plan is the cheapest per month at $4.16.

• One screen: a flat with one television, or one person watching on a phone and a TV at different times.
• Two screens: a lounge and a bedroom running at once, for example in a semi-detached family home.
• Three screens: larger households, or a home with a granny annexe that watches its own programmes.

You can change the number of devices later. Message us and we will tell you what moving to a bigger plan costs. Whatever you choose, the setup is the same: install TiviMate, add the playlist, and sign in to TiviMate Premium UK only if you want the paid extras. The TiviMate Premium explainer lists those extras in plain words.
