Apollo Group TV doesn't run on Roku. You don't need a new TV, though: a small streaming device in a spare HDMI port, or a phone or computer you already own, does the job. Here is how to choose.
Why Roku isn't supported
You watch through an IPTV player app: you type in the login we send you, and the app plays the channels. A Roku only installs apps from Roku's own channel store, and we don't test or support any IPTV player there. Since we couldn't help you set one up or fix it when it fails, we don't sell Apollo Group TV for Roku.
The best options instead
Fire TV Stick
The simplest swap for most homes. It plugs into any TV with an HDMI port, has its own remote, and installs a player from the Amazon Appstore. Newer Fire TV models that run Vega OS offer fewer player apps, so test yours with the free trial before you pick a plan. Our Firestick setup guide has the steps.
Android TV and Google TV
Google TV streamers, Android TV boxes and the Nvidia Shield get their player from Google Play, which has the widest choice of IPTV players. Some Sony, TCL and Hisense TVs already run Google TV, so look at your TV's home screen before you buy anything. Setup steps are in the Android TV and Google TV guide.
Apple TV, a phone or a computer
If your household uses iPhones, an Apple TV box takes a player from the App Store: see the iPhone, iPad and Apple TV guide. You can also watch on an Android phone, a tablet, or a Windows PC or Mac. The Apollo Group TV app page names a player for each.
Already have a Roku TV? Switch inputs
A Roku TV is an ordinary TV with Roku built in, so there is nothing to replace. Plug the streaming device into a free HDMI port and give it power. On the Roku home screen, each input shows as a tile such as "HDMI 2": select it and the device's own menu appears. You can rename the tile to "Fire TV" or "Google TV" so it's easy to find. If HDMI-CEC is on in the TV's settings, pressing the stick's remote can switch the TV to it by itself.
Compare the options
| Device | Player app comes from | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Fire TV Stick | Amazon Appstore | Any TV with an HDMI port, one remote for everything |
| Google TV or Android TV device | Google Play | The widest choice of player apps |
| Apple TV | App Store | Homes that already use an iPhone or iPad |
| Phone or tablet | The phone's own app store | Watching in any room of the house |
| Windows PC or Mac | A player app for the computer | A desk or a laptop screen |
Whichever you choose, the login doesn't change: the server address, username and password, or the M3U link, that we send you work on every device in the table.
Try it on the new device first
Before you pick a plan, start the Apollo Group TV free trial. It runs for 24 hours, needs no card and your login arrives on WhatsApp, so you can check the player and the picture on the device you'll really use. When you're ready, plans start at $35 for 3 months on one device.
Roku questions
Is there an Apollo Group TV channel on Roku?
No. We don't make an app for Roku or for any other device, so a Roku channel that uses our name isn't ours. You watch through a third-party player app on one of the devices above.
Can I mirror my phone to my Roku?
Many Roku devices can show a phone's screen, but the picture and sound depend on your Wi-Fi and often lag or cut out on live TV. We don't support it as a way to watch. A streaming stick in a spare HDMI port gives a far steadier picture.
Will my plan cover a new streaming stick and my phone?
Your login works on any of the devices above. The number of devices on your plan sets how many screens can play at the same time: one, two or three. To watch on the stick and a phone at once, choose a plan with 2 devices.
