How to Record IPTV on Firestick (Step-by-Step)

9 min readBy Emerald IPTV Ireland

Recording Live TV on Firestick


Yes, you can record IPTV! But the Firestick has very little storage (only ~5GB).


What You Need

  • OTG Cable (€5 on Amazon).
  • USB Drive (32GB or 64GB, formatted to FAT32).
  • TiviMate Premium (The only app that records reliably).

  • Setup Guide

  • Plug the OTG cable into your Firestick power port.
  • Plug the power cable and USB drive into the OTG cable.
  • On Firestick, go to TiviMate > Settings > Other > Recording.
  • Select Recording folder.
  • Navigate to your USB drive (usually labeled "USB_DISK" or similar).
  • Select a folder to save recordings.

  • How to Record

  • Live: Long press "OK" on a channel > Select "Record".
  • Future: Go to the TV Guide > Long press on a future show > "Record".

  • Warning: Recording 4K streams takes a lot of space. 1 hour of 4K = ~7GB. Stick to HD for recordings.


    Start recording with your TiviMate setup.
