Which is better on Android TV — the K-Time app or TiviMate?

The native K-Time app is the better experience — it is built for the K-Time catalog with large posters and a one-click launch. TiviMate is the good alternative if you prefer a single IPTV app for several services. Both play the same K-Time library.

Does watching K-Time on Android TV cost extra?

No. Watching on Android TV or Google TV is included in your K-Time subscription. The TV counts as one of the devices on your account, and both the native app and TiviMate are free to install.

Do I need a VPN for K-Time on Android TV?

No. K-Time has no geo-block and needs no VPN, and the subscription takes any foreign card. Filimo and Namava require an Iranian IP and a Shetab card, which is why they don't work abroad.

Q: How do I watch Persian TV on Android TV or Google TV?

The best way is the native K-Time app — on the TV, open the Downloader app, enter ktime.app/k to install K-Time, and sign in once. Alternatively, install the free TiviMate app, choose "Login with Xtream Codes", and enter Server ktime.app/iptv with your K-Time username and password.

There are two free ways to watch K-Time on an Android TV or Google TV. The best one is the native K-Time app, installed from ktime.app/k. The other is the free TiviMate app with your K-Time Xtream login. Both are included in your subscription at no extra cost and need no VPN.

Easiest way (about 3 minutes): The simplest path is the K-Time app itself. On the TV, open the Downloader app, enter ktime.app/k to install K-Time, and sign in once with your email and password — no codes to type. Prefer an IPTV app? TiviMate with your login works too (below).

There are two free ways to watch K-Time on an Android TV or Google TV, and both are included in your subscription at no extra cost. The native K-Time app is the better experience; TiviMate is the universal alternative. Here are both.

How do I watch Persian TV on Android TV or Google TV?

To watch Persian TV on an Android TV or Google TV, the best path is the native K-Time app, which installs in about three minutes and works on any brand — Sony, TCL, Hisense, Xiaomi, Philips and the rest:

On the TV, install the free Downloader app from the Google Play Store.
Open Downloader and enter ktime.app/k to download the K-Time app.
Approve the install. The K-Time icon now sits on the home screen next to Netflix and YouTube.
Sign in once with your subscription account.

The native app is built for a remote and a ten-foot view, with large posters and a one-click launch — it is the best big-screen experience. Our guide to setting up Persian TV for parents walks through this same install for an elderly-friendly setup.

Can I use TiviMate on Android TV instead?

Yes — TiviMate is the free alternative to the native K-Time app on Android TV, and it reaches the same library. Install TiviMate from the Google Play Store, open it, and add a playlist using “Xtream Codes” (Login). Enter:

Field	Value
Server	`ktime.app/iptv`
Username	your K-Time username
Password	your K-Time password

Save it, and TiviMate pulls in your K-Time channels, movies and series. TiviMate is a polished IPTV player and a good choice if you keep several services in one app. Your login is just your K-Time username and password — the same one you use to sign in, so there is nothing extra to look up.

Which is better — the K-Time app or TiviMate?

On Android TV, the native K-Time app is the better experience and TiviMate is the flexible alternative. The native app is tuned for the K-Time catalog — recency-first rows, large posters, and a launch that lands you straight on the latest Iranian films and series of 2025. TiviMate is a general IPTV player with a clean live-TV grid, handy if you watch a lot of live channels or keep several playlists. Both are free and both play the full K-Time library; the master setup guide lays out every device’s options together, and the Fire TV guide covers the same two paths on an Amazon stick.

Which Android TV devices work?

Any Android TV or Google TV works with K-Time, on any brand — Sony, TCL, Hisense, Xiaomi, Philips and Sharp all run the native app and TiviMate the same way. A Chromecast with Google TV and an Nvidia Shield work too, and an Amazon Fire TV is the same idea on Amazon’s version of Android. Your subscription counts the TV as one of the devices on your account, so there is no separate fee for the big screen, and a second Android TV in another room signs in with the same K-Time login and shares your library and watch history.

What other apps work on Android TV?

Besides TiviMate, the Google Play Store has plenty of IPTV players that take the same Xtream login — IPTV Smarters, OTT Navigator and Sparkle TV are the popular ones. They all reach the same K-Time library with Server ktime.app/iptv and your username and password, so use whichever you prefer; the native K-Time app from ktime.app/k stays the smoothest.

Do I need a VPN or an Iranian card?

No — K-Time on Android TV needs no VPN and no Iranian bank card. There is no geo-block, so nothing to toggle, and the subscription takes any foreign card. This is the structural difference from Filimo and Namava, which license for inside Iran and require an Iranian IP and a Shetab card. Our guide to watching Persian TV outside Iran explains why a diaspora-built service is the only one that works abroad without workarounds.

Watching on K-Time

Pick one path on your Android TV: install the native K-Time app from ktime.app/k for the best experience, or use free TiviMate with the Xtream login above. Either way, you sign in with your own K-Time username and password. New to K-Time? Create an account first, then set up the TV — one subscription, the big screen, no VPN.
