The following article will provide you with a complete Roku Setup guide..
If you are a new Roku owner, this guide will provide you with step by step instructions to get started with one of the most popular media devices available.

There are 4 different versions of the Roku Streaming Device and all work fabulously to bring movies, tv shows, and more right to your TV.
In the guide below, we will show complete Roku Setup for the Roku Streaming Stick+. However, this guide will also work all variations of the device including Roku Express, Premiere, and Ultra.
NOTE: KODIFIREIPTValways suggests using and android powered device such as a Firestick or Fire TV for streaming. This is due to the side-loading abilities these players provide that allows users to install 3rd party applications not available in the device’s App Store.
Although we cover Roku devices on this Website, we don’t recommend them due to their closed system.  We recommend the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K due to its low price and ability to easily Jailbreak it which will allow for free movies, TV shows, live channels, ppv, sports, games, and more.

Roku Setup Continued

Once your device is setup you are now able to stream content with your preferred applications.
Some of the most popular Roku Channels include:
Netlifx
Hulu
Disney Plus
Amazon Prime Video
Youtube TV
Plex
Sling
and more
While some of these apps are free to install, many require a monthly subscription for use.
If you are looking for free applications with no subscription or monthly fees, you will need a device that runs the Android Software. This includes the popular Amazon Fire TV Stick 4k.
Many purchase this because of it’s “jailbreak” ability that removes Amazon restrictions allowing for installation of unauthorized apps.

These apps will grant you access to Movies, TV Shows, and more, all for FREE.
KODIFIREIPTVhas created a jailbreak tutorial that will show you the fastest, most efficient way to jailbreak your Firestick. This guide instructs you to side-load apps that allow for unlimited free content:
