If you own an Android-based streaming box or a Fire TV Stick, TiviMate is widely regarded as the finest way to enjoy your Strong 8K service. Its clean grid layout, fast channel switching and proper programme guide make it feel like a built-in telly experience rather than a bolt-on app.

Step-by-step setup
Install TiviMate
On an Android TV or Google TV device, open the Google Play Store and search for TiviMate. On a Fire TV Stick, open the Amazon Appstore instead. Select the app and install it, then open it once the download finishes.
Add a new playlist
Launch TiviMate and choose Add playlist on the welcome screen. When prompted for the source type, select Xtream Codes rather than the M3U URL option, as this gives you the full channel list and the integrated guide.
Enter your Strong 8K details
Type in the server address, username and password from your Strong 8K welcome email exactly as supplied. Your login is tied to your email, so double-check there are no extra spaces, then confirm to let TiviMate connect.
Load the premium EPG
Once your channels appear, open Settings, go to the EPG section and add the Strong 8K guide source. This populates the now-and-next programme data so you can scroll the schedule and see what’s on across every channel.
Sort channels and start watching
Use Settings to hide or reorder groups so your favourites sit up top. Press OK on any channel to start playback in 4K, and you’re all set to enjoy your full Strong 8K line-up.
