📼 Can I Record IPTV Streams? – Complete Guide
One of the biggest questions people have is: “Can I record my favorite shows?”
The answer is
YES, but you need the right app and setup.
Let’s explain how to turn your IPTV setup into a DVR (Digital Video Recorder).
✅ What You Need to Record
You can’t record with just any app. You need three things:
-
A Premium App: TiviMate Premium or IPTV Smarters Pro.
-
Storage Space: A USB drive or SD card (because video files are huge).
-
Multiple Connections: If you want to watch one channel while recording another.
📱 How to Record on TiviMate (Best Method)
TiviMate has the best recording feature, but you need the Premium version ($10/year).
Step-by-Step:
-
Set Up Storage: Plug a USB drive into your Firestick (you might need an OTG cable).
-
Select Folder: Go to Settings -> Other -> Recording -> Select Folder.
-
Start Recording: Long-press “Select” on any channel and click “Record”.
-
Schedule Recording: Go to the TV Guide, find a future show, long-press it, and select
“Record”.
Never miss a show
📱 How to Record on IPTV Smarters
You can also record on IPTV Smarters, but it’s a bit more basic.
-
Open the app and go to Live TV.
-
Long-press on the channel you want to record.
-
Select Start Recording.
-
To watch it later, go to the main menu and click Recordings.
Note: You usually can’t change the channel while recording on Smarters unless you have
“Multi-Screen” active.
⚠️ Important: Storage Space
This is the #1 problem users face.
Firesticks only have 5GB of space.
One hour of HD TV takes up about 2GB-3GB.
If you try to record a movie on a basic Firestick, it will fail because the memory is full.
Solution: Buy an OTG Cable ($5) and a USB Drive ($10) to add more space to your Firestick.
Watch anytime
🤔 Can I Watch One Channel and Record Another?
Yes, BUT…
You need two connections from your IPTV provider.
-
Connection 1: Used for the channel you are watching.
-
Connection 2: Used for the channel you are recording.
If you only have a 1-connection subscription, the recording will stop as soon as you change the channel.
✅ Summary
Can I record IPTV streams? Yes!
Best Setup:
-
App: TiviMate Premium
-
Device: NVIDIA Shield (or Firestick with USB drive)
-
Subscription: 2 Connections
