Step-by-step setup
Have your AurexTV details ready
Grab the message that opened your trial or plan and keep it on your phone. You want three values from it: the server URL in the form http://server.com:8080, your username and your password. Having them in front of you before you start means the whole job is a few minutes of typing rather than a hunt mid-setup, and it saves retyping a password you half-remember.
Open the Play Store and pick a player
From the home screen open the Google Play Store, or find it under Apps on Google TV, and confirm a Google account is signed in first, because the store will let you browse without one and then refuse to install. Search for TiViMate or IPTV Smarters. On a television, choose TiViMate: its program grid is the reason the app exists and it is clearly the better of the two for a big screen.
Install and open the app
Select Install, wait for it to finish, then open it. TiViMate walks you straight into adding a playlist; IPTV Smarters shows a disclaimer to accept first. Neither needs any configuration before you sign in, so do not go hunting through settings yet.
Sign in with Xtream Codes
In TiViMate choose Add playlist, then Xtream Codes login. In IPTV Smarters choose Login with Xtream Codes API. Both then ask for the same three things: server URL, username and password. Enter them exactly as sent and confirm. The app downloads the channel list and the guide, which takes a minute or two the first time and is quick after that.
Trim and arrange your channels
This is the step most people skip and later regret. Turn off the category groups you will never open, pin the handful you watch to the top, and set the interface language. TiViMate keeps these under Settings, Playlists, while Smarters uses its own favorites menu. Ten focused minutes here is the difference between a tidy television and an endless scroll.
Set the guide to your time zone
The EPG follows the box clock, so a guide that reads an hour off is really a time-zone problem. Open the Android settings, go to Date and time, and make sure the time zone is right for the US, UK, Canada or Australia and that automatic time is on. TiViMate then lines its grid up correctly; in Smarters, turn on the guide overlay under Settings, EPG.
Run through the first-night checklist
Give it a quick shakedown before you relax into it. Confirm several channels start promptly, that the guide shows the right programs, and that your pinned favorites are where you left them. If a stream stutters, switch the player to hardware decoding in the app settings. And remember the account is yours to renew or cancel on WhatsApp whenever you decide, which is exactly what a no-commitment trial is for.
Common errors and fixes
The player is missing from the Play Store
Some cheap boxes run the phone edition of Android, which hides apps flagged as TV-only. The fix is to sideload the APK with the Downloader app, following the same sequence as the Firestick guide. It is a little more work, but the app behaves identically once it is on.
The guide is empty after signing in
Let the very first download finish before you judge it, because the EPG loads after the channels do. If it is still blank, trigger Update EPG from the app settings and restart. The guide data travels with your Xtream login, so there is nothing separate to paste, though support can hand you a standalone URL for the rare player that demands one.
Channels drop out on a wireless box
Boxes tucked behind a television often sit in a Wi-Fi dead spot. If yours has an Ethernet port, use it; if not, moving the router or adding a mesh point usually clears it. As a quick test, hold the box near the router for a few minutes and see whether the drops stop.
The box feels sluggish after a while
Cheap Android boxes fill their small storage quickly, which slows everything down. In the Android settings, clear the cache of the player app now and then, and remove preinstalled apps you never open. If a box was slow from day one, its specification was probably overstated, and 2 GB of RAM really is the sensible minimum for smooth live television.

Android TV IPTV FAQ
What is the best Android box for IPTV?
The Nvidia Shield is the quickest and handles 4K HDR without breaking a sweat, though it costs more than a year of the subscription. Chromecast with Google TV 4K is the sensible mid-price pick. If you buy a generic box, insist on 2 GB of RAM and an Ethernet port, and treat the printed specifications with healthy suspicion, because they are often generous.
Does AurexTV work on Chromecast with Google TV?
Yes, and it is one of the tidiest setups going. Chromecast with Google TV runs Android TV underneath, so TiViMate and IPTV Smarters both install straight from the Play Store and take your Xtream login exactly as described above. Nothing about the steps changes from a full Android television.
Is the Play Store the same in the UK, Canada and Australia?
For these players, effectively yes. TiViMate and IPTV Smarters are available across the US, UK, Canadian and Australian Play Stores, so the guide reads the same wherever you are. If a title ever fails to appear in your country, the sideload route in the errors section above gets you there anyway.
Do I need a VPN on Android TV?
No. Setup and viewing work without one on an ordinary home connection. A VPN is only worth considering if your internet provider throttles streaming during peak hours, and even then it is optional. Nothing in this guide depends on one, and AurexTV runs normally on a standard connection.
Can I try it before paying for a plan?
Yes, that is the whole idea. AurexTV starts on a short trial, so you install a player, sign in and watch on your own Android TV before deciding. There is nothing stored in the app to charge you, so if you decide against it you just do not renew over WhatsApp.
