Nipo Player vs TiviMate
Nipo Player does not provide, sell or host any content. Use it with playlists you are legally allowed to access.
TiviMate is a reference on Android TV (grid guide, multiview, recording), but it only runs there: no Samsung, LG, iPhone or computer version. Nipo Player offers these features in Premium on Android TV and also covers Samsung, LG, phones and computers, with a 14-day refund.
