Channel Issues & Questions

Hey everyone, 

Starting today, the Apple TV app is now available on Roku! The Apple TV app offers access to your iTunes video library, along with many ways to access and watch movies, tv shows, and more! You can install the channel by visiting our channel store online here: https://channelstore.roku.com/details/551012/apple-tv

Apple TV+ will arrive in the Apple TV app on November 1st. You'll be able to subscribe to the Apple TV+ service directly within the channel on your Roku device (starting November 1st), with a seven day free trial.

Check out more on the Roku Blog here: https://blog.roku.com/apple-tv

Thanks!

Is there any plan to add airplay with the addition of the Apple TV app? With the Samsung TVs it was added at the same time.

Will this app work on older roku devices?

I have a Roku2 XD from 2013.

I don't see the Apple TV app on the channel store on my device or on my iphone's roku app. But I did find it on the web and "installed" it there.  After performing the Update Now function on my roku device, I still don't see the app.

Feel free to contact Apple support for any additional questions regarding their channel on the Roku platform. 

Thanks!

I have the older Roku 2 xd.  So do I need to purchase a newer Roku in order to watch Apple TV on my normal TV?  I have loaded it on my laptop but cannot see it on my TV.  

If I do buy a newer Roku, will I lose all my favorite movies?
