TiviMate alternative
A TiviMate alternative that tidies up for you.
Orbit is an IPTV player for Fire TV and Android TV. It plays the same playlist or Xtream Codes login you use in TiviMate, then sorts the mess for you.
What's the same
Same playlist. Less sorting.
- Players only. Neither includes channels: you bring your own IPTV service.
- The same logins. M3U playlists and Xtream Codes logins work in both.
- The basics. A TV guide, catch-up, recording and multi-view are in both.
- Easy to install. Both go on a Fire TV Stick with the free Downloader app.
What Orbit does differently
Made for messy playlists.
One channel, not four
SD, HD, FHD and 4K copies become one channel that plays the best version, with the others kept as backups.
Backups that kick in
If a stream drops, Orbit reconnects, then switches to a backup copy or to the same channel from your second provider.
Set up from your phone
Scan the code on the TV and type your provider's login on your phone, not with the remote. Backups and restores work the same way.
Profiles that learn
Everyone at home gets their own history, My List and a Home screen that learns what they like to watch.

Fair's fair
When TiviMate may suit you better.
- You’d rather pay once. TiviMate sells a one-off lifetime purchase. Orbit is a subscription, from £7.99 a year.
- You like arranging things yourself. If your provider’s list is already tidy, or you enjoy sorting it, a player that tidies matters less.
- You’re happy as you are. If TiviMate does everything you need, there’s no reason to switch. Trying Orbit for 12 hours costs nothing.
Switching
Switch in three steps.
- Install Orbit. In Downloader, type the code 9797120. The install guide shows every step.
- Scan the QR code on your TV. Sign up on your phone. Your 12-hour free trial starts when the TV is linked.
- Add your provider. Type the same playlist address or Xtream Codes login you use now, on your phone.
You can keep TiviMate installed while you try Orbit.
Questions
Before you switch.
Can I use my TiviMate playlist in Orbit?
Yes. Orbit takes the same M3U playlist addresses and Xtream Codes logins. You'll find them in your provider's welcome email or on its website, and you type them on your phone when Orbit shows its QR code.
Does Orbit have a lifetime plan?
No. Orbit costs £1.19 a month, £2.99 every 3 months or £7.99 a year, with every feature in every plan.
Which devices does Orbit run on?
Fire TV devices on Fire OS 6 or later, and Android TV or Google TV devices on Android 6 or later. It's tuned to stay smooth on 1 GB sticks. Fire TVs running Vega OS can't run Android apps, so Orbit can't run on them.
Is Orbit legal?
Orbit is a media player, like any video player app: it contains no channels, films or series and doesn't link to any. Whether what you watch is legal depends on the service you use and where you live, so only use services you have the right to watch.
