Installing and Setting Up the Downloader App
The Downloader app is essential for sideloading TiviMate onto your FireStick. This versatile tool allows you to download APK files directly to your device.
Important: Make sure to download the official Downloader app by AFTVnews. It has an orange icon and is free to download from the Amazon App Store.

TiviMate won’t install or keeps crashing

OBO TV playlist won’t load
Solution: Double-check your M3U URL or Xtream Codes credentials for typos. Verify your OBO TV subscription is active. Try disconnecting and reconnecting your VPN if you’re using one. As a test, try adding the playlist using a different input method.
Channels buffer or freeze frequently
Solution: Check your internet connection speed (minimum 10 Mbps recommended). Adjust buffer size in TiviMate settings under Playback. Try connecting your FireStick via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi if possible. Consider using a VPN if your ISP is throttling streaming traffic.
EPG not loading or showing “No information”
Solution: Verify your EPG URL is correct. Force an EPG update in Settings > EPG > Update. Increase the EPG timeframe in settings. Some channels may not have EPG data available from OBO TV.
Remote control not navigating properly
Solution: Check remote batteries. Re-pair your remote with the FireStick. Update your FireStick system software. If using a third-party remote, make sure it’s compatible with FireStick 2026 models.
