Getting started

Getting started

What is TiviGlass?
TiviGlass is a premium IPTV player for Amazon Fire TV and Android TV. It gives you a fast, native Live TV guide, Movies and Shows, Catch-Up and more. You supply your own lawful provider details, and TiviGlass plays them beautifully on the big screen.
How do I install it on my Fire TV?
Install the free Downloader app from the Amazon Appstore, open it, and enter the code tiviglass.com/apk. Downloader fetches the latest APK and walks you through the install. Our setup guide covers each step with screenshots.
Does TiviGlass include channels or content?
No. TiviGlass is an IPTV player only. It does not provide, host, or resell channels, playlists, or content. You supply your own lawful provider details.
Which providers does it work with?
TiviGlass is provider-agnostic. It works with Xtream Codes logins, Stalker / Ministra portals, and raw M3U playlists, so you can add the lawful provider details you already have. You can keep several playlists and switch between them freely.
Which devices are supported?
TiviGlass runs on Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick devices on Fire OS 5 or newer, and on Android TV and Google TV devices, including the cheaper generic boxes. The same app also runs on your phone and tablet in landscape. It is built for the remote and the big screen, with full D-pad navigation throughout, and is comfortable with touch.
Premium and billing

Premium and billing

What does Premium unlock?
Premium adds the Sports Hub, Multi-view, Recordings (DVR), Cloud sync, Trending in Movies and Shows, Advanced playback (including pause and rewind of live TV), Channel filters, External player, Themes, and Channel auto-rename. Everything else stays free for everyone. See the full breakdown on the pricing page.
Is TiviGlass really free?
Yes. The full core library is free for everyone, with no trial and no nagging: Live TV with a complete EPG, Movies and Shows, Catch-Up, the personalised Home dashboard, favourites across all your playlists, Parental controls, multiple playlists, and automatic updates. Premium is an optional upgrade for power features.
How do I pay for Premium?
Billing is handled on your phone through Stripe. On the TV you scan a code, complete checkout on your phone, and Premium unlocks on every TV signed in to your account. The TV itself never stores any payment details.
Is Cloud Backup included with Premium?
Yes. Cloud Backup is part of Premium. Once you upgrade you can keep an off-device copy of your whole setup — backed up on a schedule (every 1–24 hours) or on demand — and restore it on a new TV in one tap.
Is Premium a subscription? How do I get a refund?
No — Premium is a one-time purchase for lifetime access. You pay once and there are no renewals or recurring charges, so there's nothing to cancel. For refund eligibility and how to request one, see our refund policy.
Playback and features

Playback and features

How does Catch-Up work?
Catch-Up lets you jump back to a programme that has already aired, straight from the guide, where your provider supports it. It is free for everyone, because TiviGlass simply builds the request against your provider's own archive.
Can I record programmes?
Yes, with Premium. Recordings (DVR) let you save programmes for later, either instantly or scheduled by time, and you can follow a series to record new episodes automatically. Recording is a Premium feature, so it unlocks once your account is upgraded on any signed-in TV.
Can I pause and rewind live TV?
Yes, with Premium. Advanced playback lets you pause and rewind live TV, and includes a low-latency mode for staying on the live edge during sport, along with frame-rate matching, audio leveling and quality controls.
Is there a sports mode?
Yes — the Sports Hub (Premium) is a live sports radar built from your guide. It shows what's on now, starting soon and recently finished, with kickoff reminders, a spoiler-free mode that hides scores, and the option to follow a team or league so their fixtures record automatically.
Can I watch more than one channel at once?
Yes, with Multi-view (Premium). You can watch several channels at once in a mosaic with your own layouts and saved presets, and the audio follows whichever tile you focus. It needs a provider plan that allows multiple simultaneous connections.
Can I use an external player?
Yes, with Premium. The External player option hands a stream off to another installed player when you prefer it. It is part of the Premium feature set alongside Advanced playback and Channel filters.
Why does a stream sometimes buffer?
Streaming quality depends on your provider and your network. TiviGlass uses a tuned playback engine that recovers from stalls and reconnects automatically, but if a particular stream keeps buffering it is usually a provider or connection issue rather than the app.
Are there parental controls?
Yes, and they are free for everyone. You can set a PIN to restrict access to chosen content and keep the home screen suitable for the whole household.
Account and sync

Account and sync

Do I need an account?
Not for the free features. You only need a TiviGlass account for Premium, for cloud sync, and to keep several signed-in devices in step. You can add your provider and start watching without signing in at all.
How does phone sign-in work?
On the TV you choose phone sign-in and scan the code shown on screen, then complete the login on your phone where typing is easy. The TV is signed in within seconds. You can start from the phone sign-in page.
What is the difference between Cloud sync and Cloud Backup?
Both are included with Premium. Cloud sync keeps your settings, history, favourites and reminders in step across your signed-in TVs in real time. Cloud Backup stores a full off-device snapshot of everything — including the parental PIN, recording metadata and resume state that live sync leaves out — on a schedule or on demand, so you can restore a whole TV in one tap.
Can I have more than one playlist?
Yes, and it is free for everyone. You can add several playlists and switch between them, each kept separate with its own catalogue, guide and history.
