How to Set Up TvMate Pro on Google TV
Google TV and Android TV devices (like Chromecast with Google TV, NVIDIA Shield, and Sony TVs) are among the best platforms for IPTV. They support high-quality apps directly from the Play Store, making the setup of TvMate Pro simpler than ever.
In this guide, we'll show you the fastest way to get up and running.
Important: App vs Service
Crucial Info: TvMate Pro is a media player only. It comes with zero content.
To access live TV, movies, and series, you need to connect an IPTV Subscription to the app. We provide the premium subscription service you need.
What You Need
- A Google TV or Android TV device (Chromecast, Shield, Mi Box, etc.).
- A Google Account logged in to access the Play Store.
- Your IPTV Credentials: (Username, Password, and URL sent to your email after purchase).

- Go to the Apps tab on your home screen.
- Click Search for apps or use the Google Assistant voice button.
- Type or say "TvMate".
- Look for the official TvMate Pro app icon and click it.
(Or use this direct link if you're on a browser: Play Store Link) - Click Install.

Method 2: Sideload (Alternative)
If for some reason you cannot find the app on the Play Store, you can use the "Downloader" method just like on Firestick.
- Install Downloader from the Play Store.
- Open it and enter the code: 2578076

How to Activate Subscription
Now that the app is installed, let's fill it with content.
