How to watch

4K is no problem for the Chromecast with Google TV; give it a 25 Mbps connection and a 4K TV and the sharper feeds hold up. For cricket, frame rate matters as much as resolution. You pay once for the plan length you choose; nothing renews on its own, and you have 7 days to ask for a refund.

The short list

  • Player: TiviMate (paid)
  • A 25 Mbps line handles one 4K stream comfortably; HD needs roughly 10 Mbps per screen
  • Channels to favorite: Willow Cricket and Willow Xtra
  • Plan: from $10.42/month on the 12-month plan, or $24.99 for one month
  • Time: about five minutes, ideally the day before

Set up before the first ball

  • Pick a plan length, send the order on WhatsApp, and keep the reply open: it holds the server URL, username and password.
  • Open Google Play on the Chromecast with Google TV and install TiviMate. If it's missing from the store, sideload it with Downloader after allowing unknown apps under Settings > Apps > Security & restrictions.
  • In TiviMate, pick the Xtream Codes or XC API option, then type the server URL, username and password from your WhatsApp message. All three are case-sensitive.
  • Open the Sports group and add Willow Cricket and Willow Xtra to favorites.
  • Play one of those channels for a few minutes well before the first ball to confirm the picture is steady.

Tips for Cricket day

  • Event schedules shift, so check the guide on the day rather than a printed schedule.
  • Sessions that air while you are at work or asleep are what catch-up is for.
  • Use a wired connection for the moments you most want to see live.
  • Favorite every channel carrying the event so you can follow it from one list.

Picture settings that matter

Android TV devices vary, so look for a match-frame-rate option in the display settings or inside the player; TiviMate, for one, has an auto frame rate switch. With it on, a hard ball moving off the pitch at pace keeps its natural cadence.

When the picture misbehaves

  • Pause other downloads and video calls in the house during the broadcast.
  • Restart the player at a break in play; it clears most freezes in under a minute.
  • Move to Ethernet or 5 GHz Wi-Fi before the next one.

FAQ

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.

Can I watch Cricket on the Chromecast with Google TV?

Yes. Use TiviMate, sign in with your Ultra 8K IPTV login, and open the sports channels. Setup takes about five minutes.

What if I miss the start of the match?

On channels with catch-up, go back in the guide and play it from the beginning. Catch-up reaches up to 7 days back.

Which app should I use for Cricket on the Chromecast with Google TV?

TiviMate: a guide-first layout with recording and catch-up support; the premium tier is unlocked through the TiviMate Companion app on a phone. Any player that takes an Xtream Codes login works, though.

Will Cricket play in 4K on the Chromecast with Google TV?

The Chromecast with Google TV decodes 4K, so 4K feeds play at full resolution on a 4K screen. The broadcast also has to be available in 4K, and your line needs about 25 Mbps.
