Install TiviMate on Onn TV straight from the Google Play Store, or sideload the latest APK using the Downloader app with code 8533602.
TiviMate is widely regarded as the best IPTV player and is a freemium player that’s fully compatible with the Onn TV Box.
Set up is quick, but the app comes completely empty — you’ll need an IPTV subscription to load any channels.
Also, before you stream IPTV on TiviMate, protect yourself with a premium VPN. TiviMate itself is 100% legal, but the legality of unverified IPTV sources is questionable. Surfshark VPN is our top choice

Frequently Asked Questions
Is TiviMate compatible with Onn TV Box?
Yes. Onn Google TV devices run on Google TV, which is based on Android TV, giving full access to the Google Play Store, and TiviMate works smoothly on it.
Why is TiviMate buffering or loading slowly?
This is usually linked to your internet connection or your provider rather than the app itself. Make sure your internet connection is stable and your IPTV subscription is still active.
Can I sideload TiviMate on Onn TV?
Yes. Open the Downloader app, enter the TiviMate downloader code 8533602, wait for it to locate the app, click download, and run the installer once.
Do I need to enable settings on Onn TV to sideload TiviMate?
Yes, you’ll need to enable “Unknown Sources” in Settings > Security before installing an APK manually.
Does TiviMate come with channels already loaded?
No. The app doesn’t sell channels or include any content by itself — it’s only a player. You need active login details from an IPTV provider, or an M3U playlist, to start watching.
What login methods does TiviMate support?
Most users choose the Xtream Codes API login since it’s easier to enter and typically loads live TV, EPG, and catch-up all at once. You can also load a playlist via M3U URL.
Is the free version of TiviMate enough, or do I need Premium?
The free version works but is limited in 2026. Premium adds features like DVR recording, multiple playlist support, and Picture-in-Picture, and is billed as a yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase covering several devices.
Is TiviMate legal to use on Onn TV?
Yes, the app itself is legal and is even available on the official Google Play Store — it’s simply a media player. Legality depends entirely on the IPTV source or provider you connect to.
Should I use the Play Store version or sideload TiviMate?
The Play Store version is easier to install and updates automatically. Sideloading via Downloader is only needed if TiviMate isn’t listed on your device’s Play Store.
Conclusion
Installing TiviMate on your Onn TV Box takes less than 5 minutes, whether you grab it straight from the Play Store or use the Downloader method.
For a safe experience, use a reliable VPN. Surfshark VPN is our recommended choice It prevents ISP throttling, keeps your activity private, and unlocks geo-restricted content.
