Installing Apollo Group TV on Roku

Last updated

Roku is the awkward one, and the reason sits with Roku rather than with us: Roku channels can't accept an Xtream Codes login. Instead you add a player channel and give it your M3U address through a web page on your phone or laptop. Every IPTV service runs into the same limit. Setup takes about eight minutes. Player channels also come and go from the Roku store depending on the country, so if the one below isn't there, send us your Roku model and we'll name one that currently works.

Plans from $24.99, or $13.33/month on the yearly plan.

01Setting up Roku

  1. 1

    Add a player channel

    From the Roku home screen, open the Streaming Store (or Search), find 'IPTV Smarters Player' and add it.

  2. 2

    Leave the code on screen

    Open the channel. It shows a short web address and a pairing code; keep the TV on that screen for now.

  3. 3

    Pair from your phone

    On your phone or computer, go to that web address and enter the code from the TV. Then paste the M3U address from your activation message and save.

    Your M3U address has your username and password built into it, so look after it the way you would a password. It arrives in your WhatsApp activation message. If you think someone else has got hold of it, tell us.

  4. 4

    Open the channel a second time

    Press Home and open the player channel again. Your channel groups load on that second launch.

Questions and answers

Common Roku problems

The player channel isn't in my Roku store

Which channels are on offer changes by region, and from month to month. WhatsApp us your Roku model and we'll send the name of one that works now, along with its pairing steps.

Can I mirror my phone instead?

As a stopgap you can: play the channel on an Android phone and use Roku's screen mirroring. The picture is softer and the phone has to stay awake, so treat it as a backup rather than a way to watch every night.

Movies and series are missing on Roku

M3U-only players tend to show live channels and not much else. If films matter to you, a Firestick or Google TV stick doesn't cost much and runs the full players. The Firestick walkthrough takes about eight minutes.

The player channel asks me to pay

Some Roku player channels charge after a trial period. That fee goes to whoever made the channel, not to us, and has nothing to do with your Apollo Group TV plan.

Which Roku models can do this?

Most current Roku sticks, boxes and Roku TVs can add player channels. Very old models sometimes can't install newer channels at all; if that's yours, mirroring from a phone still works.
