How do you install Kemo IPTV on Nvidia Shield TV?
You need your Kemo IPTV login (from the welcome email or the free trial) and about 8 minutes. The login type for this device is Xtream Codes. Follow these 6 steps in order.
Step 1: Wire it up
Connect the Shield's gigabit Ethernet port to your router. Settings → Network & Internet should show Ethernet connected.
Step 2: Get TiviMate
In Google Play, search “TiviMate” and choose Install.
Step 3: Add the Xtream playlist
TiviMate → Add playlist → Xtream Codes → enter server URL, username, password → Next → tick Live TV, Movies, Series → Done.
Step 4: Match frame rate
Settings → Device Preferences → Display & Sound → Advanced settings → Match content frame rate → Seamless only / Always.
Step 5: Turn on AI upscaling
Settings → Device Preferences → Display & Sound → AI-enhanced upscaling → set to High for HD channels on a 4K TV (2019 models).
Step 6: Plug in storage for recording
Optional: insert a USB 3 drive, format it as removable storage, and in TiviMate set Settings → Recording → Folder to the drive.
What if it doesn't work on Nvidia Shield TV?
Most problems on Nvidia Shield TV come from a mistyped login, an outdated app or a weak network connection. These are the issues our technicians see most on this device, with the fix that usually solves them.
Upscaling option is greyed out
AI upscaling only works on 2019 Shields with output set to 4K at 59.940 Hz or similar. Set the resolution in Display & Sound → Resolution.
Audio out of sync with a soundbar
TiviMate → Settings → Playback → Audio delay, or Shield Settings → Display & Sound → Audio → Dolby Digital Plus processing → Auto.
Nvidia Shield TV tips from our technicians
- The Shield Pro's 3 GB of RAM keeps TiviMate fast even with every country group visible.
- Turn on Settings → Remote → Customise Netflix button to launch TiviMate with one press.
- Use the Shield's Plex server only if you need it; it competes for CPU during 4K playback.

Kemo IPTV on Nvidia Shield TV: FAQ
Is the Shield worth it over a Firestick?
For heavy 4K viewing or recording programmes, yes. For HD channels and casual viewing, a Firestick 4K Max is close enough at a lower price.
Does AI upscaling work on every channel?
It applies to video up to 1080p at up to 30 fps, so it helps most on HD news and entertainment channels.
