TiviMate turns an Android TV box into a DVR. Here is how to set it up properly.

What you need

  • TiviMate Premium: TiviMate Premium price.
  • Storage: a USB drive or network folder; sticks have little space.
  • A free screen on your plan while recording.

Set up

  1. Open Settings > Recording.
  2. Choose the recording folder (USB or network).
  3. In the guide, long-press a programme and choose Record.
  4. Find recordings in the Recordings section.

Failed recordings

  • Not enough space: an hour of HD takes roughly 1.5 to 3 GB.
  • Recording stopped: another device took the last screen on your plan.
  • Network folder errors: check the share permissions.
