Not sure how to watch IPTV with Roku? Roku does not run most IPTV player apps directly, but you have three reliable ways to watch on your Roku television or stick.
Most IPTV player apps are not available on Roku, so you watch by mirroring from an Android phone or Windows PC, by using AirPlay from an iPhone, iPad or Mac, or by plugging a low-cost Fire TV Stick or Android box into another HDMI port on the same television.

Many people ask whether IPTV for Roku is possible. Roku is a closed platform: it only runs channels published through the Roku Channel Store, and most IPTV player apps are not listed there. That means you usually cannot install a player app on a Roku the way you would on a Fire TV Stick or an Android box.
That does not mean you have to buy a new television. There are three practical ways to watch your IPTV Canada Officiel login on a screen connected to Roku, and we explain each below so you can pick the one that suits your home.
Many Roku models support screen mirroring from Android phones, tablets and Windows PCs using Miracast-based features. You open a player app on the phone or computer and mirror it to the Roku television. It is free and quick, but your phone or computer must stay on during playback, and the picture quality depends on your Wi-Fi.
Newer Roku devices support Apple AirPlay. If you have an iPhone or iPad with a player app installed, you can send the video to your Roku television. This works well in Apple households and is generally smoother than mirroring.
The most reliable solution is to plug a Fire TV Stick or an Android box into a free HDMI port on the same television, and keep Roku for your other apps. A stick costs far less than a new TV and gives you a full IPTV player. See the Firestick guide.
Before you begin
Do not have a plan yet? Pick one on the plans page, or request a free trial to test on your roku first. Your login is emailed after your Interac e-Transfer is received.
Step by step
These steps use screen mirroring or AirPlay, the two options that need no extra hardware.
Open Settings, System and turn on screen mirroring or AirPlay, depending on your Roku model. Allow devices on your network to connect.
Use the Google Play Store, App Store or a desktop player. See the Android phone, Apple TV and PC guides for app ideas.
Enter the server URL, username and password from your email in the player app.
On Android, use Cast or Smart View from quick settings. On iPhone or iPad, tap AirPlay and select your Roku. On Windows, press Windows key plus K.
Choose your Roku device from the list. The screen of your phone or computer appears on the TV.
Open a channel and use the full-screen button. Keep the phone or computer plugged in during long games.
On the sending device, choose a player with these features:
We do not own or control these third-party apps, and store availability can change. If an app is missing or stops working, tell us which device you have and we will suggest an alternative that works with your login.
If you watch IPTV daily, buy a streaming stick. Mirroring is a good short-term solution, but a dedicated stick gives you a proper remote, a full program guide and fewer dropped frames. If you are a Roku owner who simply wants to try the service first, a free trial on a phone is the easiest way.
Make sure both devices are on the same network and that screen mirroring is enabled in Roku system settings.
Mirroring adds delay. Try AirPlay or a different Wi-Fi band, or use a streaming stick.
Increase the screen timeout and keep the app open.
Some apps block mirroring. Try another player app or use a stick.
Mirroring depends on Wi-Fi quality. Move closer to the router.
After your Interac e-Transfer is received, we email the details you need. Depending on the app, you will see a server URL (sometimes called a portal or host), a username and a password. Some apps ask for a single playlist link instead. Always copy the details exactly as written: a missing letter or an extra space is the most common reason a login fails on Roku setups.
Keep your login private. It is tied to the number of devices you ordered, and sharing it with friends can cause both of you to be logged out. If you lose the email, check your spam folder or contact support with your order number.
Live TV uses a steady stream of data, and the amount depends on picture quality. As a rule of thumb, a standard-definition channel needs about 3 Mbps, an HD channel about 6 to 8 Mbps and a 4K channel 20 Mbps or more. Add a margin for other people using the network at the same time. If your household streams on several screens, aim for at least 25 Mbps for HD or 50 Mbps for several 4K screens.
Run a speed test from the same room where your roku is located, not only next to the router. If the result is much lower than your plan, try a wired connection, move the router, or switch to the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. These small changes fix most buffering complaints without any extra cost.
With that information, our team can usually find the cause within a few minutes.
Your plan is not limited to one kind of screen. When you order, you can choose up to five devices, and each extra device adds 60% of the plan price. A common setup is a main television in the living room, a second box in the bedroom and a phone for travel. Browse the other setup guides to see the steps for each one, or read about the channel lineup to decide which package suits you.
