Once you have your Zylo TV subscription, the next question is: which IPTV player app should you use? The two most popular options are TiviMate and IPTV Smarters Pro. Both are excellent, but they excel in different situations. Here is our honest comparison based on 10 years of experience recommending apps to our 46,000+ customers.
TiviMate IPTV Player
TiviMate is widely considered the best IPTV player for Android TV devices — Nvidia Shield, Mi Box, Android TV boxes, and Fire TV Stick. It has a beautiful, TV-optimised interface, excellent EPG (Electronic Program Guide) support, and smooth multi-screen capability.
TiviMate Pros
- Best EPG support — full 7-day programme guide with catch-up
- Beautiful TV interface — designed for big screens and remote controls
- Multi-screen support — watch 4 channels simultaneously
- Series/Movie organiser — excellent VOD browsing
- Parental controls — PIN lock for specific channels
TiviMate Cons
- Premium version costs $4.99/year (free version has limitations)
- Android TV/Fire TV only — not available on iPhone or Samsung TV natively
IPTV Smarters Pro
IPTV Smarters Pro is the most versatile IPTV player — available on every platform including iPhone, iPad, Samsung TV, LG TV, Android, Windows and Mac. If you watch on multiple different devices, Smarters is the best choice.
IPTV Smarters Pros
- Available on all platforms — iOS, Android, Smart TV, Windows, Mac
- Free to download on all platforms
- Clean, intuitive interface easy to navigate
- Xtream Codes + M3U support — works perfectly with Zylo TV
Our Recommendation
Use TiviMate if you primarily watch on a Fire TV Stick or Android TV box connected to your main television. The interface is superior for big-screen TV viewing.
Use IPTV Smarters Pro if you watch on multiple devices including phone, tablet, Smart TV and computer. Its cross-platform availability makes it the most flexible choice.
Both apps work perfectly with your Zylo TV subscription. Our 24/7 support team can help you set up either app on any device — just contact us on WhatsApp after subscribing.

💡 Pro Tips for Best Performance
For the best streaming experience with any IPTV player, connect your device via Ethernet cable rather than WiFi when possible. If WiFi is your only option, use the 5GHz band.
