Setup steps
Before you start
Your M3U URL or Xtream login (username, password, server URL) arrives on WhatsApp right after your order is confirmed. Keep that message handy — you will paste from it in the steps below.

- 01
Allow unknown sources
- Open Settings → System → About and click "Build" seven times to unlock developer mode.
- Go to Settings → Apps → Security & Restrictions → Unknown Sources.
- Turn ON the toggle for Downloader once you have installed it in the next step.
- 02
Install Downloader
- Open the Play Store on the device and search "Downloader by AFTVnews".
- Install it and open it, allowing storage permission when asked.
Note — Some Google TV devices hide Downloader from search. Install it from the Play Store website on your phone and push it to the device instead.
- 03
Download the player with the Downloader code
- Select the URL box in Downloader and enter 272483 for TiviMate, then press GO.
- For IPTV Smarters Pro enter 6468112. For ELK Player enter 82854.
- When the download completes, choose Install, then Done, then Delete to clear the installer.
Note — Digits only, no dots or slashes. 272483 = TiviMate, 6468112 = IPTV Smarters Pro, 82854 = ELK Player.
- 04
Add your playlist in TiviMate
- Open TiviMate and choose "Add playlist".
- Select "Xtream Codes" and enter your Server URL, Username and Password from WhatsApp.
- Alternatively choose "M3U Playlist" and paste your M3U link.
- Name the playlist, then let TiviMate download the channels and EPG — it takes a minute on first run.
- 05
Tune the guide
- Open TiviMate Settings → Playlists → EPG and set the update interval to every 6 hours.
- Under Settings → Appearance, switch the guide to your preferred layout and hide any groups you never watch.
- The free version covers one playlist; the Premium unlock adds recording and multiple lines.
