Roku devices run their own channel store and cannot install Android APK files, so the CatchOn TV app does not run on them. Many customers ask about Roku because it is a popular stick, so we set this out plainly.
What this means in practice
Roku’s store does not carry the CatchOn TV app, and the app cannot be sideloaded onto a Roku. A Roku can still play IPTV only where a compatible player is available in its store that accepts login details. We have not verified a particular Roku player for CatchOn TV, so we do not recommend one.
What to do instead
If Roku is the screen you have, the reliable option is an Android device that you connect to the same television. An Android TV or Google TV box, or a Fire OS stick, runs the CatchOn TV app and TiviMate Premium, and it will cost less than a second screen with a separate subscription.
Before you buy a Roku
Ask support whether a Roku route works for your plan. Tell us the model you own, and we will tell you what we know. Please do not rely on a Roku as the only screen until that answer is clear.
Questions about Roku
Can I install the CatchOn TV APK on a Roku?
No. Roku does not allow APK installs, so the Android app cannot run on it.
Is there a CatchOn TV channel in the Roku store?
We are not aware of one for the app. Search the store before you buy, and ask us if you are unsure.
Will my plan work on a Roku if I use another player?
Your login details may work with a compatible player, but we cannot guarantee any player on Roku. The 24-hour money-back guarantee covers a device that cannot run the service after our help.
