How to Install TiviMate on Firestick 4K Max: The Complete 2026 Guide

The Amazon Firestick 4K Max is the best-selling streaming device in the world. And TiviMate is the best IPTV player ever made.

Put them together, and you have a cord-cutting powerhouse that rivals (and beats) traditional cable TV.

But there's a catch: TiviMate is NOT available on the Amazon App Store. You need to "sideload" it.

Don't worry—it's completely safe and takes less than 5 minutes. Here's how.

What You'll Need

• Amazon Firestick 4K, 4K Max, or Fire TV Cube

  

• WiFi Internet Connection

• StreamVexa Account (Get Free Trial here)

Step 1: Install the Downloader App

The "Downloader" app is your gateway to installing apps not found on Amazon's store.

1. From your Firestick Home Screen, go to Find > Search.
2. Type "Downloader" and press Enter.
3. Install the app with the orange icon.

Step 2: Enable Developer Options

Amazon blocks unknown apps by default. You need to unlock this setting.

1. Go to Settings (gear icon on the right).
2. Select My Fire TV.
3. Click About > Fire TV Stick — Click it 7 times rapidly.
   • You'll see a message: "You are now a developer!"
4. Go back to My Fire TV > Developer Options.
5. Turn ON both:
   • ADB Debugging
   • Install Unknown Apps
6. When asked which app, select Downloader > ON.

Step 3: Download TiviMate

1. Open the Downloader app.
2. In the URL field, type: 191081 (this is the shortcode).
   • Alternatively, type the full URL: https://tivimate.com/tivimate.apk
3. Press Go. The download will start.
4. When prompted, click Install.
5. After installation, click Done (not "Open" yet—we have one more step).

Step 4: Unlock TiviMate Premium (Optional but Recommended)

TiviMate's free version is limited. Premium unlocks:

• Multi-View (watch 4 channels at once)
• Recording
• Catch-Up TV
• Favorites Management

How to get Premium:

1. On your phone (Android), download TiviMate Companion from the Google Play Store.
2. Create an account and pay ~$10/year.
3. Open TiviMate on your Firestick.
4. Go to Settings > Unlock Premium and log in with your Companion account.

Step 5: Add Your StreamVexa Playlist

You have the player, now you need the content. StreamVexa provides 25,000+ live channels and 100,000+ VOD.

1. Open TiviMate.
2. Click Add Playlist.
3. Select Xtream Codes (NOT M3U—Xtream is faster).
4. Enter your details:
   • Server Address: http://line.streamvexa.com
   • Username: (from your welcome email)
   • Password: (from your welcome email)
5. Click Next. The channels will load!

Troubleshooting Common Issues

"Downloader Blocked" or "Unknown Apps" Greyed Out

Channels Load But Buffer

• Check out our TiviMate Settings Optimization Guide.

EPG Shows "No Information"

• Go to Settings > EPG > Update EPG and wait 30 seconds.
• Ensure "Include TV Guide" is checked in your playlist settings.
