Step-by-step setup
Have your AurexTV details ready
Open your welcome message and keep your server URL, username and password close, because if the store player is available in your country you will type them straight in. Having them ready also lets you test the mirroring route quickly on a phone if the store player turns out to be missing where you are.
Search the Roku Channel Store
Press Home, go to Streaming Channels or use the search field, and look for "IPTV Smarters Player" or simply "IPTV Player". If a suitable one appears, add it. If nothing does, that is not a fault at your end; Roku availability varies by region and changes over time, so move to the mirroring method below instead.
If the store player is there, sign in with Xtream Codes
Open the channel, choose the Xtream Codes option, and enter your server URL, username and password. Give it a minute to load the channel list. Because these Roku listings can be pulled later, treat this as the convenient route when it is available rather than something to depend on long term.
Otherwise, mirror from a phone or PC
Turn on Screen mirroring under Roku Settings, System, Screen mirroring. On Android use Cast or Smart View; on Windows press the Windows key plus K. Start the stream on that device using any AurexTV player and it appears on the Roku. It reliably works, with the trade-off that the phone or PC is then busy doing the streaming.
Arrange favorites and check the clock
If you are using the store player, mark your regular channels as favorites so the list stays short, and confirm the guide times look right; the player follows the Roku clock, which you can check under Settings, System, Time and set to the correct US, UK, Canada or Australia zone. If you are mirroring, you organize favorites in the app on the phone or PC instead.
Consider adding a Fire TV Stick
Being honest saves you frustration: if IPTV is the main reason that television exists, a Fire TV Stick at roughly thirty to fifty dollars removes every one of Roku’s limitations at once. Plug it into a spare HDMI port and keep the Roku for the streaming apps it handles well. Many people end up doing exactly this.
Run through the first-night checklist
Whichever route you took, confirm a few channels play, that the picture is stable, and that the guide, if you have one, shows the right times. Note which method you settled on so you can repeat it. And keep in mind the trial is no-commitment: you decide over WhatsApp whether Roku is workable for you or whether a small stick is the better answer.
Common errors and fixes
IPTV channels disappear from the Roku store
Roku periodically removes these listings, which is exactly why we will not promise any particular channel will be waiting when you look. If yours vanishes, your AurexTV account is completely unaffected: switch to screen mirroring, or move that television onto a Fire TV Stick or Android box, where the players are stable.
Mirroring connects but the picture lags or drops
Mirroring is entirely dependent on Wi-Fi, so lag points at the network. Keep the phone or PC and the Roku on the same band and close to the router. If it stays choppy, this is the clearest sign that a small streaming stick, which plays the stream directly, will serve that television far better than mirroring can.
Screen mirroring is refused by the Roku
Under Settings, System, Screen mirroring, set the mode to Prompt or Always allow, since the default sometimes blocks new devices silently. On Windows the device must be on the same network as the Roku for the Windows key plus K shortcut to find it at all, so check both are on your home Wi-Fi.
The Roku is slow to switch channels
Older Roku sticks have limited memory, so channel changes lag in any streaming app, not only this one. Restart the Roku from Settings, System, Power to clear it, and close background channels. If switching stays slow, it is another sign that a dedicated streaming stick will handle live television more comfortably than the Roku can.

Roku IPTV FAQ
Can you actually get IPTV on Roku?
Partly, and honestly it is the least dependable platform for it. There is no sideloading, and the store players come and go, so you cannot count on a specific one being there. Screen mirroring always works as a fallback. If you have the choice, a Fire TV Stick or Android box on that television is a far smoother experience.
Is there a way to make Roku reliable for this?
The reliable answer is to stop asking Roku to do it and let a cheap stick handle the streaming while the Roku keeps doing what it is good at. It sounds like a cop-out, but a thirty-dollar Fire TV Stick turns an unpredictable setup into a dependable one, and AurexTV runs identically on both.
Does the Roku store show the same apps in every country?
No. The Roku channel catalog differs across the US, UK, Canada and Australia, and it changes over time, so a player a friend uses abroad may not appear for you. This is the main reason to test on the trial first and to keep mirroring in mind as a universal backup.
Can I watch on Roku without a phone or computer?
Only if your region Roku store currently carries a compatible player, which you can check in step two. If it does not, the mirroring route needs a phone or computer to send the picture. That dependence on a second device, or on an unpredictable store, is exactly why many people add a small stick instead.
Do I need a VPN for Roku?
No. A VPN is not required, and Roku does not make one easy to use anyway. Setup depends only on the store player or mirroring. If your provider throttles streaming, a VPN would run on the source device rather than on the Roku, but for most people on a home connection it is simply unnecessary.
