Have you been searching for ways to watch IPTV on Roku but have not found exactly what you are looking for? This guide provides multiple methods to stream IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) on Roku devices.
Those of us who have a subscription to one of these live streaming services have various options for viewing the content they provide. Most prefer to access them via Video/IPTV Players that must be sideloaded onto popular media devices.
Sideloading is the process of installing a 3rd party application that is not available within the App store onto one of these devices. This is extremely popular among Android-based boxes such as Android/Google TV and even the popular Amazon Firestick.
Many refer to this as “jailbreaking” and likely the main reason that Fire TV devices have become the top choice among streamers and cord-cutters.
Unfortunately, not all streaming boxes have this capability and Roku is the most notable platform that does not have this feature.
Roku devices feature a closed source Operating System which means that users can only install applications that are available within the pre-installed Roku Channel Store.
This is usually a problem for IPTV users since we cannot download the applications that are capable of serving up these live channels in an easy to use format.

Luckily, there are still a few ways to watch rapid IPTV on Roku with the options that we list below, however, these require payment and do not have all of the same features you would find in popular players for Firestick, Android TV Box, etc.
TROYPOINT always recommends using an Android-Based device so that you can easily install free apps/APKs for exclusive access to live channels, Movies, Series, and much more.
However, those who prefer to use a Roku device can still watch IPTV using one of the methods that we describe below.
In order to watch IPTV on Roku, you must first have a subscription to an IPTV Service Provider, and more specifically, one that provides an M3U URL or Xtream Code to stream your content options.
Best IPTV Services
Once you have your IPTV Service login information, you can access it with one of the video players listed below. We also provide instructions for installing and using IPTV Smarters but this is not compatible with all Roku devices.
If you prefer another Gen IPTV Player such as TiviMate, you can watch your favorite live tv service by casting to your Roku device.
While this guide provides options to view live channels on Roku, you may also want to consider jailbreaking your Roku for VOD (Video-on-Demand) options including Films and Series with our unique workaround.
