TiviMate IPTV Player: Setup Guide for Canada
Quick answer: TiviMate is an IPTV player app for Android TV, Google TV and Fire TV that displays your provider's channels in a clean, cable-style guide. It contains no channels itself: you add a subscription such as MapleHD by entering an Xtream Codes login or M3U link.

What TiviMate is (and is not)
TiviMate is only a viewer. It gives you a fast channel list, a programme guide (EPG), favourites, catch-up support and recording on the premium version. It does not include any channels, so you need a subscription to load content. MapleHD works with it using standard Xtream Codes or M3U details.
It runs on Android TV, Google TV, Fire TV Sticks and other Android-based devices. It is not available natively on iOS, Roku, Samsung Tizen or LG webOS; for those, see TiviMate on smart TVs for alternatives.
How to set up TiviMate with MapleHD
- Install TiviMate on your Android TV or Fire TV. On Firestick, follow the steps in TiviMate on Firestick.
- Open the app and choose Add Playlist.
- Select Xtream Codes and enter the server address, username and password from your MapleHD email.
- Let the channels and guide load, then set your favourite channels.
- Optional: upgrade to TiviMate Premium for recording, multiple playlists and more.

Is TiviMate the right player for you?
Choose TiviMate if your main screen is an Android TV, Google TV or Fire TV connected to a television and you like a clean, remote-friendly guide. If you also want the same app on iPhone or a laptop, use IPTV Smarters Pro alongside it. Many households do both: TiviMate on the main TV, Smarters on phones and tablets, with a single MapleHD login and enough connections for each screen.
TiviMate compared with other players
TiviMate is often preferred for living-room TVs because of its remote-friendly layout. If you want one app across phones, tablets and PCs, IPTV Smarters Pro is more universal. Our best IPTV apps page compares the main choices.
