The following tutorial will provide you with step-by-step instructions to install IPTV on Roku for your live streaming needs.
Because Roku uses a closed source system, we must “sideload” IPTV onto this device for use.
This will require the use of a computer in order to download the IPTV app file and add it to your Roku streaming device.
TROYPOINT always recommends using an Android-powered device such as a Firestick or Fire TV because of its open-source system.
However, for those wanting to watch live tv on Roku, we can use the workaround below to install IPTV on your device for all your live viewing needs.
Before you install IPTV on Roku, you will need an IPTV Service and the service’s Server URL.
You can always find a complete list of working IPTV Services on the TROYPOINT IPTV Resource Page.
Once you have your IPTV Service login information, we can install IPTV Smarters onto our Roku device for streaming.
IPTV Smarters is one of the Best IPTV Players that is compatible with hundreds of IPTV Services that use a Server URL.
It is currently available for use on Firestick, Android TV Box, and now Roku.
Because it is compatible with numerous devices and works fabulously for live content, we have included IPTV Smarters in our list of Best Roku Channels.
If you are using another IPTV Player such as TiviMate, you can also view IPTV by casting to your Roku device.
While casting IPTV is a reliable way to stream IPTV on Roku, the method below works best for viewing live tv.
Use the instructional guide below to install IPTV on Roku.
TROYPOINT TIP: The best way to get the most out of your Roku device is by “jailbreaking” it for access to tons of streaming options.
While Roku does have a closed source system, we can still unlock the device using the workaround below.
