Easier Firestick navigation
TiviMate Remote for Tablet
TiviMate’s companion remote app turns your tablet or phone into a smarter Firestick remote — text input, channel search, gesture navigation. Pair it with Slam Dunk Zone for 5,000+ channels at $39.95/mo.
TL;DR: TiviMate Remote is a free companion app for Android tablets and phones that connects to TiviMate running on a Firestick or Android TV box. It adds text-input via on-screen keyboard, faster channel search, and gesture-based navigation — solving the slow-typing problem with the stock Firestick remote. Pair it with Slam Dunk Zone’s licensed credentials ($39.95/mo) for the smoothest IPTV experience available in 2026.
Why a tablet remote helps for IPTV
The stock Firestick remote is fine for casual streaming but painful for IPTV’s specific use cases — typing channel names into search, navigating long channel lists, scrubbing through EPG schedules. The remote’s directional pad makes you press right-right-right-right to move five categories over.
The TiviMate Remote app fixes that by giving you:
- An on-screen keyboard for fast text input — search “ESPN” without spelling it out one D-pad press at a time.
- Gesture navigation — swipe left/right to change channels, swipe up/down for volume, all from the tablet screen.
- Direct touch on the channel list — tap a channel from a tablet-rendered EPG instead of D-pad-scrolling.
- Voice search if your tablet supports it — say “ESPN” and the channel jumps.
Cord-cutters who run TiviMate on a Firestick and use it for sports almost universally end up using the tablet remote within a few weeks.
Installing and pairing TiviMate Remote
- Confirm TiviMate is already running on your Firestick / Android TV box and signed in with your Slam Dunk Zone credentials.
- On your tablet (Android or iOS), open the app store and install “TiviMate Remote” by AR Mobile Dev.
- Open the app. It scans your local Wi-Fi network for TiviMate instances.
- Select your Firestick when it appears in the list.
- TiviMate on the Firestick will show a 4-digit pairing code. Enter it on the tablet.
- Pairing complete. The tablet now controls TiviMate.
The pairing requires both devices to be on the same Wi-Fi network. If they aren’t, the remote can’t see the Firestick.
What you can do with the remote
Beyond basic D-pad replacement, the TiviMate Remote unlocks features that would otherwise require keyboard accessories on the Firestick:
- Search across the EPG — type a show or team name and see every channel airing it now or later.
- Bulk-favorite channels — long-press to add to favorites, much faster than the per-channel menu.
- Switch playlists / users — if you have multiple IPTV credentials saved (e.g., Slam Dunk Zone + a backup), switch between them with a tap.
- Type EPG URLs and credentials during setup — the original reason most users install the remote, since pasting long URLs with the stock remote is brutal.
Pairing TiviMate Remote with Slam Dunk Zone credentials
The remote app doesn’t know about Slam Dunk Zone directly — it just controls TiviMate. The Slam Dunk Zone credentials live inside TiviMate itself (loaded when you first added the playlist). Once TiviMate has the credentials, the remote just navigates them.
To set up Slam Dunk Zone in TiviMate (if you haven’t yet):
- In TiviMate on the Firestick, go to Settings → Playlists → Add Playlist.
- Choose “Xtream Codes” as the playlist type.
- Enter username, password, and server URL from your Slam Dunk Zone welcome email.
- Save. Channels load. Use the tablet remote to navigate.
Bottom line
TiviMate Remote is a quality-of-life upgrade for cord-cutters who run TiviMate + IPTV on a Firestick. It’s free, takes one minute to pair, and eliminates the worst part of the stock remote experience (slow text input).
Combined with licensed Slam Dunk Zone credentials, the setup is the most polished IPTV experience available in 2026 short of building a custom HTPC. Slam Dunk Now → $39.95/mo
