What you need

  • Chromecast with Google TV (HD or 4K) or Google TV Streamer
  • Internet from 16 Mbps for HD, 50 Mbps for 4K
  • A Google account
  • Your login details from our WhatsApp message

    Step 4

    Start watching

    Pick a channel from the list. From now on you open TiviMate with one click from the Google TV home screen.

Note: the older Chromecast without a remote (casting from a phone only) isn’t suitable for IPTV apps. You need the version “with Google TV”.

Alternative: IBO Player Pro

IBO Player Pro also runs on the Chromecast with Google TV – install it via Downloader with code 923441.

Fixing problems on Chromecast with Google TV

  • I can’t find a Play Store

    You probably have an older Chromecast without Google TV. These models can’t install apps – use a Fire TV Stick or the Google TV Streamer instead.

  • Low storage

    The Chromecast has little storage. Delete unused apps and clear TiviMate’s cache in the app settings.

  • The picture stutters

    Google’s official Ethernet power adapter lets you connect the Chromecast by cable. Otherwise 5 GHz Wi-Fi helps.
