How to choose for your device

Before installing, decide what you actually need: an M3U link or Xtream access, remote control or touch input, EPG and the convenience features you care about. A feature in a store description may not be available on every platform. An undocumented feature is not necessarily unsupported by the app.

Who is iMPlayer TV for?

The TV app meant here is the HzApps Google Play listing with package com.myiptvonline.implayer. It may suit Android TV users comparing EPG, VOD and, depending on the source, catch-up or recording. The official website lists M3U and JSON playlists. Do not confuse this listing with the separate mobile app.

When is iMPlayer TV a good fit?

Consider iMPlayer TV if you want an Android TV player with the listed EPG and VOD features and optional catch-up or recording. The website describes a trial after registration and annual and lifetime plans, which may depend on the number of devices. Compare the price and plan before buying. Ratings and developer claims are not a substitute for testing your own playlist on your device.

Who is TiviMate for?

Google Play describes TiviMate as intended for Android TV devices and remote-control use. It may suit you if you want to manage several M3U, Xtream or Stalker sources and use EPG, favorites, catch-up, recording or multiview. This feature list comes from the official product description and is not an independent playback test. The store says the app is not optimized for phones and tablets.

When is TiviMate a good fit?

Consider TiviMate if your main device is an Android TV with a remote and you need the listed source formats or TV features. Compare the subscription and lifetime terms shown at checkout. For a phone, iPad, Fire TV or Vega device, do not infer support solely from the Android TV listing or an APK download; check compatibility for the exact device.

Setting up iMPlayer TV: what to check first

Open the Google Play listing and verify the title, publisher and package identifier. Alternatively, the official product website links to the TV installation route. Add your own playlist using the documented method and first check whether your source supports features such as catch-up or downloads. The website describes M3U and JSON playlists; Xtream was not explicitly confirmed in the reviewed TV information.

Setting up TiviMate: what to check first

Install the app from its official Google Play listing or use the Android TV APK route offered on tivimate.com. Check the publisher Armobsoft FZE and package name ar.tvplayer.tv. Then add the access method supported by your provider: M3U, Xtream Codes or Stalker Portal. For catch-up, EPG, recording or multiview, your source and specific content must also support the feature.

Match the exact app ID and official developer; do not conflate similarly named apps.
Check your device, operating system and the input format used by your source.
Using a source you are authorized to access, test live TV, EPG and the features you need on the actual device.
Before buying, read the trial, renewal, device limits and in-app purchase terms in your country’s store.

An IPTV player is playback software. This comparison does not include a channel package or access to films. You provide your own source and the rights to use it. Do not post playlist URLs containing credentials in the forum.

Frequently asked questions

Does iMPlayer TV or TiviMate include TV channels?

This comparison covers player software. Content and usage rights come from your own source; installing a player does not buy a channel package.

Which player is better: iMPlayer TV or TiviMate?

The right choice depends on your device, playlist format and required features. Compare the documented details for both apps and check unclear points with the developer. A high store rating does not guarantee that a feature works on your device.
