Roku

Roku is one of the most popular streaming devices in North America — simple, affordable, and reliable. While Roku’s closed operating system is more restrictive than Android TV, there are two solid methods to get your Trendyscreen subscription running perfectly on any Roku device or Roku TV.


🟣 Important Note About Roku

Roku runs its own proprietary operating system which does not support traditional IPTV apps like TiviMate or IPTV Smarters directly from the Roku Channel Store. However, there are two fully supported and reliable methods to stream Trendyscreen on your Roku device — both outlined below.


🟣 Method 1: The Casting Method — The Easiest Way

Best for: Users who want the simplest possible setup with no technical steps required.

What you need:

  • Your Roku device connected to your TV
  • A smartphone or tablet on the same WiFi network as your Roku

Step 1 — Install IPTV Smarters Pro on your phone

Download IPTV Smarters Pro from the Google Play Store (Android) or Apple App Store (iOS) on your smartphone or tablet.

Step 2 — Connect to Trendyscreen on your phone

  1. Open IPTV Smarters Pro and select “Login with Xtream Codes API”
  2. Enter your Trendyscreen credentials from your welcome email:
    • Any Name: Trendyscreen
    • Username: (See your email)
    • Password: (See your email)
    • Server URL: (See your email)
  3. Tap “Add User” to load your full Trendyscreen channel list

Step 3 — Cast to Your Roku

  1. On your Roku device go to Settings > System > Screen Mirroring
  2. Set Screen Mirroring mode to “Always Allow”
  3. On your Android phone swipe down and tap “Screen Cast” or “Smart View”
  4. Select your Roku device from the list
  5. Open IPTV Smarters Pro on your phone and your Trendyscreen stream appears on your TV instantly

💡 iPhone users: Use an Apple TV or AirPlay-compatible TV for the smoothest casting experience. Roku has limited AirPlay support on newer models — check if your Roku model supports AirPlay in Settings > Apple AirPlay and HomeKit.


🟣 Method 2: The IPTV Channel Method — The Native Way

Best for: Users who want a dedicated Trendyscreen channel directly inside the Roku interface without using a phone.

Step 1 — Add the IPTV Channel to Roku

  1. On your Roku go to the Roku Channel Store
  2. Search for “The Roku Channel” or “Private Channel”
  3. Alternatively visit my.roku.com on your phone or PC
  4. Log in to your Roku account
  5. Search for “IPTV” in the channel store and add “Streamer for IPTV” or “IPTV Smarters” if available in your region

Step 2 — Enter Your Trendyscreen Credentials

  1. Open the installed IPTV channel on your Roku
  2. Select “Add Playlist” or “Xtream Codes API”
  3. Enter your Trendyscreen credentials from your welcome email:
    • Any Name: Trendyscreen
    • Username: (See your email)
    • Password: (See your email)
    • Server URL: (See your email)
  4. Select “Confirm” to load your full Trendyscreen channel list

🟣 Pro Tips for Roku Streaming

📡 Use Wired Ethernet Where Possible

Roku Ultra and Roku Express+ have ethernet ports. A direct wired connection to your router delivers the most stable Trendyscreen experience — especially for 4K streams and live sports events.

📶 Strong WiFi is Essential

If you’re using the casting method, make sure both your Roku and your phone are connected to the same WiFi network and that your signal is strong. A 5GHz WiFi band delivers the fastest and most stable casting performance.

🔒 VPN on Your Router

Roku does not support native VPN apps. For full ISP throttling protection during live sports and PPV events, set up a VPN directly on your router — your Roku will be automatically covered along with every other device in your home.

🔄 Restart Your Roku Weekly

Go to Settings > System > System Restart once a week to keep your Roku running at peak performance and your Trendyscreen streams loading fast.

📱 Keep Your Phone Screen On While Casting

When using the casting method, make sure your phone screen stays active. If your phone screen locks mid-stream it may interrupt the cast — adjust your screen timeout in phone settings to prevent this.
