  5. Wait for the app to load everything
    TiviMate will organize all channels into categories like live TV, sports, movies and more. You’ll see everything laid out clearly and ready to stream.
  6. Name your playlist
    Call it something simple like IPTV Arena so you can find it easily later.
  7. Start watching
    That’s it. Use the side menu to switch between live channels, sports, movies and Balkan entertainment.

Extra Tips

  • TV guide setup
    IPTV Arena will send you a custom XMLTV format EPG link along with your M3U. To activate the TV guide, go to the TiviMate menu, open Settings, select EPG, and paste the link there. This will load the full program guide so you can see what’s playing and what’s coming up next.
  • Favorites
    Long press on any channel to add it to your favorites. It’s a fast way to jump back to what you actually watch.

A Few Things to Know

  • TiviMate doesn’t come with any content on its own. It’s just a player. You still need a subscription like IPTV Arena to unlock the channels.
  • The free version of TiviMate works great for most people. If you want features like recording, multiple playlists and custom groups, you can upgrade to the premium version using the TiviMate Companion app.
  • The Companion app is only available on Android phones, not TVs.

If you’re trying to stream Balkan TV from abroad, IPTV Arena gives you over 450 ex-YU channels in high quality. It works anywhere in the world and is supported on all major devices.
