How to Update EPG on TiviMate (Complete Guide)

If you're using TiviMate, you already know it’s one of the most powerful IPTV players available today. But even the best player can feel incomplete without a working EPG (Electronic Program Guide).

When your guide isn’t updating—or worse, completely empty—it can make navigating channels frustrating and time-consuming.

The good news? Fixing EPG issues in TiviMate is usually quick and straightforward.

In this complete guide, we’ll walk you through how to update EPG on TiviMate, fix common problems, and ensure your channel listings stay accurate and up-to-date.

What is EPG and Why It Matters

The Electronic Program Guide (EPG) is what displays:

• Current and upcoming shows
• Channel schedules
• Program descriptions
• Start and end times

Without EPG, you’re essentially browsing blind—especially on large channel lists.

A properly functioning EPG transforms IPTV from a basic stream list into a full TV-like experience.

Why EPG Stops Updating

Before jumping into fixes, it helps to understand the root causes.

Common Reasons:

• Expired or incorrect EPG URL
• Provider-side EPG server issues
• Cache corruption inside TiviMate
• Timezone mismatches
• Internet connection interruptions

In many cases, it’s not TiviMate itself—it’s either configuration or provider-related.

How to Manually Update EPG in TiviMate

The fastest way to fix missing listings is a manual refresh.

Step-by-Step:

1. Open TiviMate
2. Go to Settings
3. Select EPG
4. Click Update EPG

TiviMate will immediately fetch the latest guide data.

Tip: Wait a minute or two after updating—large EPG files take time to load.

Enable Automatic EPG Updates

To avoid manual updates, you should enable automatic syncing.

How to Enable Auto Update:

1. Go to Settings → EPG
2. Enable Update on app start
3. Enable Update on playlist change
4. Set Update interval (recommended: every 6–12 hours)

This ensures your guide stays fresh without manual intervention.

Fixing "No Information" in EPG

One of the most common issues is seeing channels with "No Information".

Possible Fixes:

1. Clear EPG Data

1. Go to Settings → EPG
2. Select Clear EPG
3. Confirm
4. Click Update EPG again

This removes corrupted or outdated data.

2. Check Your EPG Source URL

If your provider gives a separate EPG link:

1. Go to Settings → Playlists
2. Select your playlist
3. Click EPG Sources
4. Verify the URL is correct

If the link is broken or expired, the guide won’t load.

---

3. Assign EPG to Channels

Sometimes channels aren’t properly mapped.

1. Long-press a channel
2. Select Assign EPG
3. Search for the correct channel listing
4. Save

This is useful for mismatched or missing guide data.

---

Fixing Time Offset Issues

If your EPG shows the wrong schedule (e.g., programs shifted by hours), it’s usually a timezone issue.

How to Fix:

1. Go to Settings → EPG
2. Adjust Time offset
3. Test different values (+/- hours) until aligned

Advanced EPG Settings in TiviMate

TiviMate offers powerful customization options for EPG handling.

Key Settings to Know:

• Past days to keep EPG: Controls how much history is stored
• Future days to load: Determines how far ahead listings go
• Update interval: Frequency of automatic refresh
• EPG source priority: Useful if using multiple sources

Optimizing these settings can improve performance and reduce loading issues.

---

When EPG Issues Are Provider-Side

Sometimes, no matter what you do, the EPG won’t update.

This usually means:

• The provider’s EPG server is down
• Data hasn’t been updated
• The EPG feed is incomplete

In these cases, the only real fix is using a reliable IPTV provider.
