TiviMate IPTV Player: Setup Guide & Features
TiviMate's program-guide-focused layout and general setup workflow, explained.
What Is TiviMate?
TiviMate is an IPTV player built around a configurable program-guide layout. Like other IPTV players, it doesn't supply any content itself — it's the interface you connect to an IPTV subscription to browse and watch it.
Who Is TiviMate For?
TiviMate tends to suit people who watch a lot of live TV and want a detailed, browsable program guide, and who don't mind spending a bit more time on initial customization in exchange for a more tailored layout.

A channel list you browse and switch between.
