Quick Answer: Use TiviMate's search when you know a channel or program name but do not want to browse the full playlist. Search is one of the features listed by the official TiviMate Google Play page.
How TiviMate Search Works#
TiviMate is built for remote-controlled TV navigation, and its search feature can help locate channels and programs inside your configured playlists and guide data.
Search for a Channel#
- Open TiviMate's search interface.
- Enter part of the channel name.
- Review matching results.
- Open the result you need.
Start with a short, distinctive part of the name. Provider naming conventions can add country, quality, language or region labels that make an exact-name search less useful.
Search for a Program#
Program search depends on the EPG data available in your playlist. If channel names appear but program results are missing, check TiviMate EPG Setup and EPG troubleshooting.
Search Returns Nothing#
- Try fewer words.
- Check that the playlist has loaded successfully.
- Update the playlist if the channel was recently added.
- Refresh EPG data if you are searching for programs.
- Check whether the provider uses a different channel name.
Search vs Favorites#
Search is useful for occasional channels. Favorites are better for channels you watch repeatedly. Combining both avoids maintaining an unnecessarily large custom list.
