To download U.S based TV apps on your Roku, follow the steps below. 

Step 1: Get Started


Before we begin, you must first be aware that the apps available on the Roku device are dependent on the location / IP address of your network and where the account is created from.


To download region restricted apps such as Hulu, NFL, ABC, DirecTV Now or others that are not available from your current location, you will first need to ensure the Roku region is configured to reflect your intended location.


Kindly ensure that the VPN connection is set to U.S or that our MyTelly Smart DNS's region selector is correctly set to USA (like in the image below).



However, if you haven't set up our VPN or MyTelly services on your Roku yet, you can follow one of the guides below.


Connecting Roku to VPN

Connecting Roku to MyTelly (Smart DNS)


Note: Unfortunately, unlike most Internet enabled devices, the Roku network options are limited and you're only able to select the Internet connection (Wifi / Cable) type with no other means to edit the connection itself. Which means you'll need another device for your Roku to work with our VPN or MyTelly services.
