Two separate limits get confused here: the TiviMate Premium licence, and how many streams your service allows at once. They are not the same thing.
The app licence
A TiviMate Premium licence is tied to your account with the developer and can be moved between devices. It governs app features — recording, multiple playlists, and so on.
The connection limit
This comes from your service, not the app. If it allows one connection and you open a second TV, one of them fails — usually with a playlist error that looks like a bug. This is the cause of most “it worked yesterday” reports. See playlist troubleshooting for how it presents.
Running several TVs properly
- Match your connection allowance to how many screens watch simultaneously, not how many devices exist.
- Fully exit the app rather than leaving it paused — a paused stream can hold the slot.
- Allow a minute for a slot to release before starting elsewhere.
Copying your setup to a new device
TiviMate can back up and restore settings, which saves rebuilding favourites and groups by hand. Use it when adding a second TV rather than configuring from scratch. Installing on a Fire TV stick is covered in the sideload guide.
Everything fails at once
If every device stops together, it is not a device conflict — it is the service. Check whether the playlist loads at all before rearranging your setup.
Getting the allowance right
Households with several screens should size this up front; being throttled to one stream in a four-television house is a poor experience regardless of the app. Our TiviMate Premium subscription is explicit about connection limits before you buy, so you can pick correctly. Compare hardware in the device guide.
