How to watch

The NVIDIA Shield TV decodes 4K, so 4K feeds play at full resolution on a 4K screen. Fast cricket rewards a wired connection more than a 4K badge. Plans are prepaid and never auto-renew, and you have 7 days to ask for your money back.

What you need for Cricket on the NVIDIA Shield TV

  • Player: TiviMate (paid)
  • Budget 10 Mbps per HD screen and 25 Mbps per 4K screen, then add headroom for everyone else online
  • 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

  • Order on WhatsApp from the buy page. Your login details come back in the same chat, usually within a minute.
  • Search Google Play for TiviMate with the remote or the voice button and install it. Where Play doesn't carry it, Downloader can fetch it from the developer's site once unknown apps are allowed.
  • 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.

Getting more out of Cricket

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

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.

Quick fixes mid-game

  • Run a speed test on the NVIDIA Shield TV. Under 25 Mbps, stick with HD for Cricket.
  • Drop from the 4K to the HD version of the channel; it needs less than half the bandwidth.
  • Restart the player at a break in play; it clears most freezes in under a minute.
