Where Tivelio is behind
- No programme guide for an M3U playlist. The guide only comes with an Xtream account; UHF and Smarters offer one for playlists.
- No recording of live TV. Tivelio can only save a past programme from your provider’s archive; TiviMate and IPTVX record.
- Two live channels at once at most, and so far validated on Android TV only; UHF offers four.
- Chromecast and AirPlay have never been validated on a real receiver: Tivelio does not promise them.
- No free trial of Tivelio Pro. The free version of Tivelio stays free.
- No ratings yet in the stores.
