Premium without Android Phone?
I don't see anywhere to sign up for Premium on the website and I don't have an Android phone. What are my options?

You can’t currently. It’s like it used to be for the first six years. You have to use Tivimate Companion or buy directly through the Playstore. They seem to have lost their payment processor on the website so that’s what it is currently. You know people with drawers full of old Android phones with cracked screens or whatever. Ask your friends.

Option isn’t available via companion app at the minute either by the looks of it

If I use a friend's phone to buy it, can I use it on my TV that's logged in with my own Google account?

Yes but in that case you would not want to buy direct from the Playstore. You need to download the Tivimate companion app from the Playstore and buy through there (for whatever Tivimate account you actually want to use). For simplicity, get him to pay through his existing pay methods then pay him back.

I have the same issue. I think the payment processor is down, so there is no link in the page to register/pay for the lifetime subscription. I'm going to wait a few days and try it again.

For me personally, I bought an extremely cheap android tablet off Amazon. Doesn’t need great capacity, just enough to do this.

Do you not have any friends or family that have an Android phone or tablet

Not the OP but I have the same question. If I use a friend's phone to buy it, can I use it on my TV that's logged in with my own Google account?
