How to Create Custom Channel Groups in Tivimate Premium
Tivimate Premium gives you powerful tools to personalize your channel lineup. One of the most useful features is the ability to create custom channel groups, letting you organize channels exactly the way you want—by genre, user, language, or preference.
This guide shows you how to set up your own channel groups and organize your IPTV playlists with maximum control.

Why Use Custom Channel Groups?
- Group favorite sports channels together
- Create a kids-only group with age-appropriate content
- Separate live TV from video-on-demand

✅ Especially helpful when using multiple playlists or sharing the app with family members
Requirements
- A Tivimate Premium account (custom groups are a premium feature)

- Navigate to the Channel List (EPG screen)
- Long-press the OK or Center button on a channel
- From the side menu, select Add to Group
- Choose Create New Group
- Name your group (e.g., “News”, “Sports”, “UK Channels”)
- Add the selected channel to that group
Repeat the steps for any other channels you want in this group.
Rename or Reorganize Groups
You can always rename or modify your groups later:
- Go to Settings > Channel List > Manage Groups
- Choose the custom group you created
- Edit name, reorder, or delete if needed
