This tutorial offers step-by-step guidance for installing IPTV on a Roku device. Since IPTV isn’t officially available on the Roku Channel Store, we’ll need to sideload the app. To do this, you’ll need a computer to download the IPTV app file and transfer it to your Roku streaming device.
Using another IPTV player like TiviMate, you can watch IPTV on Roku by casting it on your Roku device. IPTV Smarters is one of the best IPTV Players, compatible with hundreds of IPTV service that use a server URL.
Anyway, let’s get into how to install IPTV on Roku. I divided the instructions into four parts to make them easier to follow:
- Part 1: Enabling developer options on Roku.
- Part 2: Adding the IPTV Smarters channel.
- Part 3: Downloading the IPTV Smarters package on your computer.
- Part 4: Installing IPTV Smarters on Roku.
Don’t worry. The process is easier than it sounds. Let’s begin.
