Whichever way you lean, an Ultra 8K IPTV login fits in: it works in every major player and on nearly every device, so the choice here never locks you out of your channels.
Free TiviMate versus Premium
- Free: one playlist, live channels and the TV guide.
- Premium: several playlists, catch-up, recording, favorites management, reminders and a customizable channel list.
- Buying: Premium is purchased in the TiviMate Companion app on an Android phone, yearly or lifetime, then unlocked by signing in on the TV.
- Devices: one Premium account covers several devices, within the developer’s limit.
- Companion itself is only the purchase and account app; you still watch in TiviMate on the TV device.
Which edition to choose
- Stay with TiviMate if you watch live TV with the guide and little else.
- Move to TiviMate Companion if you want the extra features listed above, or several playlists on one device.
- Upgrade only after a few evenings with the free edition; you will know which feature you miss.
- Whichever you choose, the login, channels and picture quality stay the same.
How to choose
Start with the free edition and upgrade only when you miss a specific feature, such as recording or a second playlist. The channels, guide data and picture quality come from your provider either way.
What it takes to switch
The free edition costs nothing. The paid edition is bought from the app’s developer, as a subscription or a one-off purchase depending on the app, and it is separate from your IPTV plan. Both use the same login, so upgrading or going back changes nothing about your channels.
Where Ultra 8K IPTV fits
Ultra 8K IPTV works in both: its login comes as Xtream Codes details plus an M3U link, so you can switch players without changing anything on your plan.
