TiviMate is a premium IPTV player (not a source of content) designed for Android-based devices (Firestick, Shield, Android TV, Google TV). It excels at playing live TV from an M3U playlist URL provided by your IPTV service. It does not record or download VOD wells like some competitors—its core focus is live channel zapping.
