TiviMate Premium: Every Feature Explained (2026)
TiviMate Premium transforms the base app into a complete cable TV replacement. At £4.99/year (£12.99 lifetime), it's one of the best-value software purchases in IPTV. Here's every feature explained.
1Recordings (DVR)
TiviMate Premium turns a USB drive into a personal DVR. Connect any USB flash drive or hard drive to your Android TV or Firestick via OTG adapter.
Settings → Recordings → set storage location to USB drive. Record any channel: tap the channel → Record (for immediate recording) or set via EPG timer. Series recording: long-press a recurring show → Record Series — every new episode records automatically.
Recordings are saved as standard .ts files playable on any device. Access them in TiviMate's Recordings section or copy to a computer via USB.
2Catch-Up TV
Settings → Player → Enable Catch-up. In the EPG grid, past programmes that support replay show a replay indicator. Tap any past programme → Play to watch from the beginning.
Catch-up availability depends on your IPTV provider — most premium providers support 3–7 days of catch-up on major channels.
3Multi-Screen & PiP
Watch up to 4 channels simultaneously in a split-screen grid. Settings → Multi-screen → enable. Tap the Multi-screen button in the top bar while watching a channel.
Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode lets you browse the channel list while a channel continues playing in a small overlay.
4Parental Controls & Other Features
Settings → Parental Controls → enable and set a 4-digit PIN. Lock specific channel groups (e.g. Adult) or the settings menu.
Additional premium features: EPG cache up to 14 days, advanced subtitle settings, customisable UI themes, and priority customer support from the TiviMate team.
Final Thoughts
TiviMate Premium is worth every penny at £4.99/year. The recordings, catch-up, and multi-screen features alone would cost significantly more with any traditional cable subscription. Combined with your Streamtly subscription, you have a complete, professional TV setup.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I upgrade to TiviMate Premium?
Open TiviMate → Settings → Get Premium → purchase via Google Play (Android) or via the TiviMate website for Firestick users.
Does TiviMate Premium work on multiple devices?
Premium is per-device. Each device needs its own licence — though the annual cost is so low that licensing 2–3 devices is still excellent value.
Can I record and watch a different channel simultaneously?
Yes, as long as your IPTV plan has sufficient connections. Recording uses one connection; watching uses another. A 2-connection plan can record one channel while watching another.
