StreamFC vs TiviMate
About 7 minutes to read · Last checked 2026-04-30
StreamFC shines for sports fans who want kickoff-first schedules and channel context; TiviMate shines for deep channel libraries on Android TV (no iPhone app).
What TiviMate is
TiviMate is an Android-based playlist TV player (Google Play: “TiviMate Player”, package id `ar.tvplayer.tv`). It targets remote-friendly TV navigation, playlists, and EPG—not a sports fixture guide. You supply playlists from your provider.
Side-by-side
This table compares two different goals. StreamFC is built around sports: schedules, kickoffs, and where a game is listed to air. TiviMate is built more like a traditional TV app for browsing channels, playlists, and guides.
Shaded cells call out who that row favors—StreamFC for sports-focused rows, TiviMate for deep library or player features.
What the scores mean
- Yes — clear fit for that goal.
- Partly — some support, or not the main focus.
- No — not what that app is trying to do.
- Not stated — we could not confirm from public pages or store text.

| Matchday: fixtures, leagues & broadcast-style listings | Yes Matchday: kickoff-first fixtures by league with broadcast-style “where to watch” context—built for sports fans (site + in-app). | No Playlist + EPG workflow centered on channels.

| Day-to-day simplicity after Setup (family & supporters) | Yes After someone adds your playlist or provider login in Setup, day-to-day use can stay in Matchday—great for family setups or anyone supporting viewers who ask “which channel is the match on?” | Partly Deep menus and options for enthusiasts; casual viewers may lean on whoever set up the playlist. |
