Title: TiviMate Original (Paid, Google Play): Delete & Add a Choice1 Playlist

Body:

TL;DR:
Delete your old list in TiviMate → Settings → Playlists, then add a new one using your Choice1 M3U and EPG URLs with your own username & password. If you ever used different URLs, delete them first.

Requirements

• TiviMate Original (paid version from Google Play Store) on your Android TV/box.

• An active Choice1 account + your service username & password (from your Choice1 client area → Services → Product Details).

Part A — Delete your old playlist

1. Open TiviMate.

2. Go to Settings → Playlists.

3. Highlight the old Choice1 playlist.

4. Long-press / hold OK → choose Remove (or Delete).

5. If you have multiple old/duplicate lists, remove them all.

Tip: Removing stale lists avoids conflicts and “empty playlist” errors.

Part B — Add your new Choice1 playlist (with correct URLs)

1. In TiviMate → Settings → Playlists, select Add playlist.

2. Choose Enter URL.

3. M3U URL (paste exactly, then replace placeholders):

   http://choice1ip.tv:80/get.php?username=YOUR_USERNAME&password=YOUR_PASSWORD&type=m3u
   

4. When prompted for EPG (TV Guide), choose Enter URL and paste:

   http://choice1ip.tv:80/xmltv.php?username=YOUR_USERNAME&password=YOUR_PASSWORD
   

5. Confirm/Save → let TiviMate sync.

6. Return to the channel list; your guide should populate within a minute.

Replace YOUR_USERNAME and YOUR_PASSWORD with your Choice1 service credentials (not your client-area login unless they’re the same). Copy them carefully—no extra spaces.

Optional — Refresh and tidy

• Refresh: In Settings → Playlists, long-press your Choice1 list → Update (or simply restart TiviMate).

• EPG time shift: If guide times look off, go to Settings → EPG → Time shift and adjust.

• Favorites: Re-add favorites after a reset (long-press a channel → Add to favorites).

Common errors & quick fixes

• “Invalid account” / “Playlist is empty”

  • Wrong username/password in the URL → re-paste, type carefully.

  • Service not Active → check your Choice1 client area (renew if needed).

  • Old/duplicate playlists still present → remove all old lists and re-add once.

• Buffering / channels won’t open

  • Reboot app/device; prefer Ethernet or strong Wi-Fi.

  • Turn VPN ON (US server)—some ISPs throttle IPTV, especially during live sports.

  • Clear cache: Android Settings → Apps → TiviMate → Storage → Clear cache.

  • Try a different VPN city; then update the playlist again.
