Did you sideload TiviMate or use the built-in player? The stock one kept crashing for me.

If a deal looks too good to be true (e.g. $5/year), it almost certainly is.

Great guide, very clear step by step. Worked perfectly on my Firestick 4K Max.

Tip: enable hardware decoding in TiviMate for 4K channels, software decoding can't keep up.

Been using TiviMate for two years now. Still the best IPTV player out there by far.

Clear, no fluff, straight to the point. This is how guides should be written.

This is exactly what I needed. Fixed my issue in under 5 minutes. Thanks!

Pro tip: use a wired Ethernet connection if you keep getting buffering even after doing all this.

Is there a way to test which server is less loaded before switching?

How often should I update the playlist? Once a week enough?
