Easily the best option out there for IPTV player solutions. Such a slick interface and constant improvements, ideally I would probably score this a 4 due to no real VOD interface, but that just wouldn't be fair as everything else is just head and shoulders above anything else and the recent Search (Voice included) function alleviates some of those issues.

Love the app but... Please fix "failed to change the recordings folder" issue. I have a Philips Android TV that doesn't have much build in memory, so I am using 2 USB drives. Unfortunately I can't change the recordings location to any of the USB drives for recordings within the app. Will give 5 stars after the issue is fixed as I have said before I do like the app otherwise

I came from Tivo and wanted IPTV to be just as convenient as my old cable box. I invested in a quality EPG source called epg.best to create a tailored and much shorter pair of files than the original m3u/xml files. Then I went looking for a stable, EPG-based player. On Android boxes, Tivimate is a blessing compared to most other IPTV players that just look amateurish in comparison. "I Play TV" has nicer colors but unfortunately runs only on the Apple TV box. Tivimate allows you to record any future program just by selecting it in the EPG. It also offers an easy way to play back recorded shows and then delete them. I have now learnt that the main menu is to the left of the EPG - before the currently running programs in the timeline - which isn't intuitive to me. The app doesn't start at its main menu, so first it felt like I had to half-way exit the app to find the menu on the way out. Most IPTV subscriptions only allow one stream at a time, but very few players help enforce this restriction. In my case, I must not record more than one program at a time, and I must not watch it (or anything else) while a recording is taking place. It would be worth a lot to me if Tivimate said "a stream is already being played/recorded" if I risk being banned by my IPTV provider. On this cheap Android box, Tivimate's recording feature appears to be unstable. For me, the app stops around one out of six recordings prematurely. I've reported these errors to the developer but of course there can be hiccups in the transmission. I still hope the app can be changed to relentlessly attempt to resume a recording if it is interrupted for some reason instead of just giving up like it appears to do now.
