The TiviMate downloader code is 272483. The developer shows it on tivimate.com as the short form of the URL tivimate.com/apk. On a Firestick, turn on Apps from Unknown Sources in Developer Options, install the Downloader app from the Amazon Appstore, open it and type 272483. Downloader fetches the official TiviMate APK; tap Install, then Open. TiviMate has no channels of its own, so add your IPTV provider's playlist next.
TiviMate is not in the Amazon Appstore, so on a Firestick it is installed from a file rather than from a store. The Downloader app does that job, and the TiviMate code saves you typing a web address with the remote. This guide explains what the code is, which Fire TV devices it works on, and each step of the install. TiviMate is published by Armobsoft FZE; this site is not its developer.
What Is the TiviMate Downloader Code?
The code is 272483. The developer’s own site, tivimate.com, tells Fire TV users to enter code 272483 or the URL tivimate.com/apk in the Downloader app. Both lead to the same file: the current TiviMate APK, served by the developer.
Firestick? Install TiviMate in 1 step
Enter this code in the Downloader app:
Two things are easy to mix up. Downloader is the app, made by AFTVnews and available on the Amazon Appstore for Fire TV and on Google Play. A Downloader code is a short number that stands for a longer web address; according to AFTVnews, these codes come from its URL shortener. So 272483 is not a licence key or a Premium code; it is just the address of the TiviMate file in a form that is quick to type with a remote.
Which Fire TV Devices the Code Works On
The code needs a Fire TV device that runs Amazon’s Android-based Fire OS, because TiviMate is an Android app and the device has to allow apps from outside the Amazon Appstore. Most Fire TV Sticks, Cubes and Fire TV smart TVs sold so far do.
The exception is the Fire TV Stick 4K Select. It runs Amazon’s newer Vega OS, and Amazon’s listing for it says only apps from the Amazon Appstore are available for download. There is no unknown-sources setting to turn on, so TiviMate cannot be installed on it with Downloader or any other way. If you are buying a device for TiviMate, our guide to the best IPTV boxes compares the alternatives.
How to Install TiviMate on a Firestick With the Downloader Code
Step 1: Turn on Apps from Unknown Sources
From the home screen open Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options. Amazon’s developer documentation names the setting Apps from Unknown Sources; on newer software the same screen may list apps one by one under Install unknown apps. Either way, allow Downloader once it is installed. If Developer Options is missing, see the next section.
Step 2: Install the Downloader app
Search for Downloader on the Fire TV home screen and install the app by AFTVnews. It is the tool that fetches and opens the TiviMate file.
Step 3: Enter the TiviMate code 272483
Open Downloader, select the address box and type 272483, or the full URL tivimate.com/apk, then select Go. Downloader looks the code up and starts downloading the TiviMate APK.
Step 4: Install TiviMate
When the download finishes, the Android installer opens. Select Install, wait for it to finish, then select Open, or Done if you want to delete the file first.
Step 5: Delete the installer file
Back in Downloader, choose to delete the APK. TiviMate is already installed, and the file only takes up space, which a Firestick has little of.
Step 6: Add your playlist
TiviMate opens with an Add playlist screen. Choose Xtream Codes, an M3U link or a Stalker portal, matching what your provider sent, and enter the details. Our guide to adding a TiviMate playlist covers each option.
If Developer Options Is Missing
On some Fire OS versions Developer Options is hidden. Amazon’s instructions unlock it from Settings → My Fire TV → About: highlight the first entry, your device’s name, and press the select button on the remote seven times. A message confirms that you are now a developer, and Developer Options appears on the My Fire TV screen. Go back to step 1.
The Downloader Version vs the Google Play Version
The developer offers TiviMate in two ways. On its site it says you can install TiviMate directly and that this version has fewer restrictions and checks for updates; that is the file 272483 fetches. It also links the Google Play listing, which is how Android TV and Google TV devices get it. On a Firestick the direct version is the only one, because Fire TV has no Google Play. For the store route, see install TiviMate on Android TV, and for every device in one place, the TiviMate install guide.
Is There a TiviMate Premium Downloader Code?
No. The same code installs the same app, and Premium is unlocked afterwards. On a Firestick you buy it in the TiviMate Companion app on an Android phone, then activate it in TiviMate’s settings; our TiviMate Premium guidehas the steps. Codes passed around as “Premium” downloads lead to modified copies from someone other than the developer, and the official purchase is the only way Premium is unlocked.
If the TiviMate Downloader Code Does Not Work
- The install is blocked. Downloader is not yet allowed to install apps. Go back to step 1 and turn the setting on for it.
- The code does not load. Check the Fire TV is online, then type the full URL tivimate.com/apk instead of the code.
- There is not enough space. Uninstall apps you do not use and delete old APK files in Downloader, then try again.
- TiviMate opens but shows no channels. The app installed correctly; the playlist is the problem. Our TiviMate not working guide works through it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a separate TiviMate Premium Downloader code?
No. There is one TiviMate app, and 272483 installs it. Premium is an upgrade you buy afterwards, through the TiviMate Companion app on an Android phone for a Firestick. A code that promises Premium for free points to a modified copy, not the developer's file.
Is it safe to sideload TiviMate with Downloader?
Using 272483 or tivimate.com/apk fetches the file the developer publishes on its own website, which is the safe route. The risk is in codes and APK sites from anyone else, because you cannot tell what a modified file contains.
Do I need the code again to update TiviMate?
No. The developer says the version installed directly checks for updates itself, so the app tells you when a new version is ready. You only need the code again to reinstall after a reset.
Does the code work on every Fire TV device?
It works on Fire TV devices that run Amazon's Android-based Fire OS and let you allow apps from unknown sources. It does not work on the Fire TV Stick 4K Select, which runs Vega OS and only installs apps from the Amazon Appstore.
Can I use the code on Android TV or Google TV?
You can, since Downloader is also on Google Play, but there is no need: TiviMate is on Google Play for those devices, so install it from the store.
