How to install Great IPTV on Roku
- 1
Check which option fits
Roku's channel store doesn't carry TiviMate, IPTV Smarters or IBO Player. For daily viewing, a separate streaming stick plugged into the Roku TV gives the best result; for occasional viewing, mirroring works.
- 2
Enable screen mirroring on Roku
Open Settings → System → Screen mirroring and set the mode to Prompt or Always allow.
- 3
Install the player on your phone or PC
Install IPTV Smarters Pro on Android or iPhone (or the Windows version on a PC) and log in with the Xtream Codes details from your email.
- 4
Mirror to the Roku
On Android, open Quick Settings → Smart View / Screen cast and choose your Roku. On Windows press Windows + K. On iPhone, use Screen Mirroring with AirPlay-compatible Roku models.
- 5
Play a channel full screen
Start a channel in the app and rotate the phone or press full screen so the Roku shows the picture edge to edge. Keep the phone plugged in while you watch.
Tips for the best picture on Roku
- Mirroring uses Wi-Fi twice (internet to phone, phone to TV), so use a 5 GHz network and keep the phone close to the router.
- For sport, a Fire TV Stick in the Roku TV's spare HDMI port is the cheapest way to get full TiviMate features.
- Turn the phone's notifications to Do Not Disturb while mirroring so messages don't pop up on the TV.
Best apps for Great IPTV on Roku
- IPTV Smarters ProRecommendedFree to download; some platforms show ads or offer an optional paid upgrade from the developer.

Common Roku problems
The Roku doesn't appear in the cast list
Make sure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network (not a guest network) and that Settings → System → Screen mirroring is enabled. Restart the Roku from Settings → System → Power → System restart.
Mirroring is choppy
Mirroring re-encodes video, so a busy network shows it first. Move to 5 GHz Wi-Fi, close other apps on the phone, or switch to a streaming stick for a native player with no mirroring step.
iPhone can't find the Roku
AirPlay works only on supported 4K Roku models. Check Settings → Apple AirPlay and HomeKit on the Roku is turned on; if the menu is missing, your model doesn't support it.
