How recording works in IPTV

Recording is a player feature. TiviMate records with its Premium upgrade, to device storage or a network drive, while many other players don't record at all. Catch-up is the alternative: on supported channels, Ultra 8K IPTV keeps the last 7 days available to replay without recording anything.

How to do it

  • Check catch-up first. Open the guide and look for the catch-up icon on past programs.
  • Pick a recording player. If you need recordings, use a player that supports them, such as TiviMate Premium.
  • Choose storage. Add a USB drive or a network folder; internal storage on sticks fills up fast.
  • Set the path. For a network folder, enter the share path and a username with write access.
  • Schedule from the guide. Select a future program in the guide and choose Record.

Where recordings go

Streaming sticks have little free storage, so point recordings at a USB drive through an OTG adapter or at a network folder (an SMB share) on a computer or NAS. The share must allow writing, and the path usually looks like smb://computer-name/share. If the app refuses the folder, check the username, password and write permission on the share.

Notes for NVIDIA Shield TV

The NVIDIA Shield TV has an Ethernet port, and a cable to the router is the surest cure for evening stutter. The NVIDIA Shield TV decodes 4K, so 4K channels play at full resolution on a 4K TV with about 25 Mbps to spare. Players that suit it: TiviMate, IPTV Smarters Pro, and OTT Navigator.

When to message support

Ultra 8K IPTV support runs on WhatsApp around the clock. Send the app name, the device, a photo of what you see and roughly when it started; that is usually enough to check the line and sort it out within minutes.

Questions people ask us

Not covered here? Send it on WhatsApp and a person on the support desk will answer, any hour of the day.

Will an update reset my settings?

Normal updates keep them. Clearing app data or reinstalling does not, so back up the settings first if the player allows it.

Which player has the most features?

TiviMate is the usual pick on Fire TV and Android TV for its guide, favorites and recording. IPTV Smarters Pro covers more platforms with a simpler layout.

Do settings carry over to my other devices?

Usually not. Favorites, locks and hidden groups are saved per device unless the player offers a backup or cloud sync.

Is this a setting on my IPTV plan?

No. It’s handled by the player app on each device. Your Ultra 8K IPTV plan provides the channels, guide and on-demand library; the app decides how they are shown.
