There are two ways to get the Apple TV channel on Roku. One way is to add the channel from your Roku device itself. The other way is to add the channel from the Roku website. We’ll show you both methods.

1. Add the Apple TV Channel From the Roku Device Itself

If you don’t have access to a computer or a smartphone, use your Roku device to add the Apple TV channel.

2. Add the Apple TV Channel From the Roku Website

You can use the Roku website to find and add streaming channels to your device. This is an ideal method to use if you’re already using a computer.

1. Open a web browser on your computer and head over to the Roku website. Log in to your account if you haven’t already.
2. Select your profile icon from the top-right corner and choose Channel store.

3. Select Featured at the top of the page and then choose Apple TV in the channels list.

4. Select Add channel on the Apple TV screen.

5. If the site asks you to re-enter your Roku login details, do so and continue.
6. The Add channel button should turn grey when the channel is added.

Step 3: Configure and Use Apple TV on Roku

You’ve successfully installed Apple TV on your Roku device. Now, like any other channel, you can start using this newly added service and consume its content.

1. Launch the newly installed Apple TV channel by selecting Home and then Apple TV on Roku’s main interface.

2. Select Start Browsing on the Apple TV screen.

3. A Device Analytics page will open. Here, choose if you’d like to send analytics data from your app to Apple.

4. Apple TV’s main screen should appear. From here, you can find and watch your favorite shows.

5. To sign in to your Apple account, select the gear icon at the top and then choose Accounts > Sign In.

6. On the Sign In screen, select a login method. You can log in by either using your phone or using your Apple ID login credentials.

7. Apple TV should now display personalized content for your account.

Now that Apple TV is added and configured on your Roku, you can start watching your favorite shows and movies that this service has to offer.

Remove Apple TV From Roku

If you no longer wish to keep Apple TV on your Roku, you can delete the channel, and that will remove access to the streaming service. Know that removing the channel doesn’t delete your Apple account.

1. Select Home and then highlight Apple TV on your Roku.
2. While Apple TV is selected, press the asterisk (*) button on your Roku remote.
3. Select Remove channel from the Apple TV menu.

4. Choose Remove in the Confirm channel removal prompt.

Apple TV is now removed from your Roku. To add it back again, follow the earlier process on how to add the Apple TV channel.
