How every guide is checked
Tivimate sells the IPTV service its guides write about, so a byline alone is not a reason to trust a page. Every guide goes through the same checks before it is published:
No testimonial we cannot verify
We publish no customer reviews, no star rating and no subscriber count. An audit of this site found 99 invented named testimonials and five contradictory subscriber figures; all of them were deleted rather than adjusted. If we ever publish reviews, they will sit on a platform you can click through to and check.
Prices come from one source
Every price shown anywhere on this site is derived from a single configuration file, and a check runs on every build that fails if a price is hardcoded somewhere and drifts out of step. Stale pricing in an article is not a typo — it is a quote a real customer might act on.
Claims are checked automatically, not remembered
Uptime percentages, "#1 rated" rankings, hands-on testing claims and money-back guarantees are blocked by an automated check before they can reach the site. If a claim here becomes genuinely true and evidenced, the evidence gets documented before the check is relaxed.
Marketing cannot contradict the policy pages
This site previously advertised a money-back guarantee on 85 pages while its own refund policy said refunds were limited. The marketing was wrong, and it was the marketing that changed. Where a claim and a policy disagree, the policy wins.
We say when we are the interested party
We sell an IPTV subscription and we promote a small network of other stores that we earn from. Where a page ranks us first, or links to a partner, it says so — partner links carry a sponsored attribution, and our own ranking of ourselves is labelled as ours.
Corrections are made in place
When something here turns out to be wrong, we change it and say what changed rather than quietly deleting it. Dates shown on guides are real last-modified dates taken from version control, not a rolling freshness stamp.
