Move from TiviMate to OTT Navigator
Both apps are players. You add the same playlist you are allowed to use. Channels do not come with either app.
How long: About an hour once you have the playlist link.
Take it out
Step 1
Copy the playlist, not the channels
In TiviMate, write down the playlist link or the login your provider gave you. These apps do not store a channel pack you can export. Use only a service you are allowed to use.
Step 2
Note favorites and pins
Favorite channels and any parental PIN do not leave TiviMate. Make a short list of the channels you want first.
Put it in
Step 1
Install OTT Navigator on the TV
Install the app on an Android TV or Google TV device. The FAQ says that is the right kind of TV for it.
Step 2
Add your playlist
Add the playlist link. If your service gave you a username and password instead, pick that login type. The FAQ names each type. If the guide is empty, add the guide link in the provider settings.
Step 3
Set the picture and the lock
Studio mode can show more than one channel. The FAQ also covers a PIN and user profiles. Turn those on after the first channel plays.
What you lose
Recording
OTT Navigator's FAQ says recording is part of Premium. The free app does not replace TiviMate recording.
Favorites
Your TiviMate favorites do not copy over. Mark them again in OTT Navigator.
No channels are included
Neither app sells channels. If a site offers a TiviMate or OTT Navigator subscription that includes streams, that site is not the app.
Play one channel you know you are allowed to watch. Then mark favorites. Keep TiviMate until that channel plays and the guide shows the right times.
