TiviMate for LG TV? What to use instead
Updated 12 November 2026 · Gridline
TiviMate is made for Android TV devices and is not available for LG’s webOS, so it cannot be installed on an LG smart TV. To get a TiviMate-style experience on an LG TV you can plug in an Android TV stick and use TiviMate there, or use a player made for webOS, such as Gridline, with no extra device.
Your two options
| Android TV stick + TiviMate | Gridline on the LG TV | |
|---|---|---|
| Extra device | Yes, a stick or box in an HDMI port | No, an app on the TV |
| Remote | The stick’s own remote | The LG remote |
| TV guide | Yes | Yes |
| Catch-up | Yes, where the provider offers it | Yes, where the provider offers it |
| Playlists | Xtream Codes, M3U | Xtream Codes, M3U |
| Set-up | On the stick | From your phone with a QR code |
| What you buy | A stick, plus TiviMate Premium | One subscription for up to 2 TVs, after a free week |
When a stick makes sense
If you already own an Android TV device, or want apps that only exist on Android, a stick is a good choice. It adds a device, a second remote and an HDMI input to switch to.
When a webOS player makes sense
If you want everything on the TV you already have and one remote, a player made for webOS avoids the extra device. Gridline was built for this: a TiviMate-style guide, replay that works with the common provider formats, and set-up from your phone.
Questions
Is TiviMate available on LG TV?
No. TiviMate is an Android TV app and there is no version for LG’s webOS.
Can I sideload TiviMate on an LG TV?
No. LG TVs run webOS, not Android, so Android apps cannot be installed on them.
What is the best TiviMate alternative for LG?
Look for a webOS player with a full TV guide, catch-up support and easy set-up. Gridline offers these; it is in testing and not in the LG Content Store yet.
Does Gridline include channels?
No. Like TiviMate, Gridline is a player and plays the playlist from your own provider.
A full TV guide, replay where your provider offers it, movies and series. Set up from your phone. Gridline is in testing and not in the LG Content Store yet.
