Android TV / Google TV is the most flexible IPTV platform: Chromecast with Google TV, NVIDIA Shield, Xiaomi Mi Box, Sony Bravia TVs, Hisense, Philips. We support all major players. Tivimate Premium is the gold standard — best EPG, fastest channel switching.
Tivimate Premium vs Smarters Pro: which is better?
Tivimate Premium has the best EPG and channel-switching UX on Android TV. IPTV Smarters Pro is free and works fine but its EPG is less polished. For $19.99/yr, Tivimate Premium is worth it on a dedicated Android TV box.
Does it work on Chromecast with Google TV?
Yes. Chromecast with Google TV (4K, 2020 model and HD 2022 model) runs Tivimate and IPTV Smarters Pro natively from the Google Play Store.
What about NVIDIA Shield?
NVIDIA Shield is the best Android TV device for IPTV — most powerful CPU, full HDR10/Dolby Vision, AI upscaling. All our apps work flawlessly. Many of our power users run Shield.
Sideloading required?
No. All recommended apps are on Google Play Store for Android TV.
