How to add Roca IPTV to TiviMate
- 1
Install TiviMate
On Google TV, Android TV boxes, Sony Bravia and Nvidia Shield, open the Google Play Store and install 'TiviMate IPTV Player'. On a Firestick or Fire TV Cube, install it with the Downloader app (see the Firestick guide).
- 2
Add a playlist
Open TiviMate and select Add playlist. Choose Xtream Codes rather than 'Enter URL': Xtream also loads the films, series and the TV guide automatically.
- 3
Enter the server address
Type the server URL exactly as written in your Roca IPTV email, including http:// and the port number after the colon (for example :8080). Select Next.
- 4
Enter username and password
Type the username and password, keeping capital letters exactly as written. Select Next and wait while TiviMate checks the login.
- 5
Name the playlist
Call it 'Roca IPTV', leave TV guide and VOD ticked, and select Done. The first load takes one to three minutes depending on your device.
- 6
Tidy the channel groups
Go to Settings → Playlists → Roca IPTV → Manage groups and untick the countries you never watch. The guide becomes faster and easier to scroll.
TiviMate: pros and cons
- The fastest, clearest TV guide grid of any IPTV app
- Favourites, catch-up and recording (Premium)
- Very stable on Firestick 4K and Shield
- Android TV and Fire TV only — no phone, iPhone or Samsung/LG version
- Several useful features need Premium
- Films and series menus are simpler than Smarters
Best TiviMate settings for Roca IPTV
- Settings → Playback → Video decoder: keep 'Auto'; try 'Hardware' if 4K stutters, 'Software' if the picture freezes but sound continues.
- Settings → EPG → Update on app start: on, so the guide is fresh each evening.
- Settings → Playback → Buffer size: 'Medium' or 'Large' if your Wi-Fi is weak.
- Premium is bought through the separate TiviMate Companion app on an Android phone; it unlocks up to five devices.
TiviMate problems and fixes
TiviMate says 'No connection to server'
The server URL is usually mistyped. Check http:// at the start, no space anywhere, and the port number after the colon. If it still fails, restart the device and router; if the address is correct, message us so we can check your account status.
The TV guide is empty for some channels
Go to Settings → EPG → Update EPG and wait a minute. Channels without guide data from the broadcaster show their name only; that's normal for a few small international channels.
