The CatchOn TV app is an Android app, installed from its APK file, so the screens that run it are Android devices. Everything else needs a different player that accepts your login details. The table shows which route applies to each screen.
| Screen | Route | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| — | — | — |
| Android TV and Google TV | The CatchOn TV app, with TiviMate Premium | The most reliable set-up in most homes |
| Fire TV sticks and Cube | The CatchOn TV app, with TiviMate Premium | Fire OS only; check the model first |
| Nvidia Shield | The CatchOn TV app, with TiviMate Premium | Runs Android TV, so it installs the same way |
| Android phones and tablets | The CatchOn TV app | Install from the APK link in your email |
| Samsung and LG televisions | A compatible IPTV player with your login details | The app cannot be installed on these systems |
| Roku | A compatible player, if one is available | Roku cannot install the Android app |
| iPhone, iPad and Apple TV | A compatible player from the App Store | The Android app cannot be installed |
| Windows and Mac computers | A compatible player for the computer | There is no computer app |
Choosing the right screen
If you are buying a device for CatchOn TV, choose an Android TV or Google TV box, a Fire OS stick or the Fire TV Cube. These install the app and give you TiviMate Premium on the largest screen. Phones and tablets work well for a second room. Televisions made by Samsung and LG are fine for watching, but they need a different player, so check the install guide for smart TVs before you rely on them.
Before you order
Check the device’s software, because the Fire TV line now includes sticks on Amazon’s newer Vega OS. Those only install apps from Amazon’s own store, so the CatchOn TV app cannot go on them. The install guides show how to check a device before you start.

Questions about devices
Can I use CatchOn TV on a smart TV without a box?
Only if the TV can run an Android app, which most Samsung and LG sets cannot. Use a compatible player with your login details instead, or add an Android TV or Google TV box.
Which device should I buy for CatchOn TV?
An Android TV or Google TV box, or a Fire OS stick, gives the most reliable result with the CatchOn TV app and TiviMate Premium.
Will the app run on an old set-top box?
Only if the box runs Android and can install APK files. Older boxes often cannot, so check the model before you buy.
