What Is IPTV?

Before discussing how to install IPTV on Roku, let’s understand what IPTV is.

As you may know, IPTV stands for Internet Protocol Television. IPTV is a service that provides you with live TV channels and movies via the Internet. An IPTV service is a faster, more versatile, on-demand TV. IPTV channels come in HD high-resolution, so you’re not sacrificing quality in the slightest.

An IPTV service usually requires some sort of set-top box. But if you choose to watch IPTV on Roku, you circumvent that requirement.

There are dozens of official and unofficial IPTV services.

Steps to Watch IPTV on Roku Through Screen Mirroring

To stream IPTV on your Roku-connected TV using screen mirroring, you must install IPTV Smarters or Smart IPTV (a different IPTV player) on your smartphone. Once you have one of these two players, you can use your device’s cast or mirror option.

With the cast/mirror option, you can access content on your Roku TV from any device on the same Wi-Fi network that’s using the IPTV player app.
