Streaming content from your iPhone to your TV through a Roku device has many benefits. You can stream a video to a bigger screen, display photos from your holiday or just listen to some music. Read on to find out how.
The following tutorial is for those who own a Roku 3, Roku 2, Roku LT or Roku HD (Roku 2500).
1. ‘Update the Software’ on Your Roku TV
Make sure you have the newest software available.
• Go to the ‘Settings’ menu on the home screen of your Roku TV.
