How to Get Terrarium TV on Roku
I have to admit, I was pretty late to the Roku party. It’s been around for a while, but I never really gave it a try. That changed when I was hanging out at a friend’s place last week and got a closer look at this little system. My buddy then showed me how to get Terrarium TV on a Roku device, and I figured you might want to know too.
Okay, let me be honest with you. When I say “install,” I’m not being entirely accurate. I had to use that word so that those of you looking to put Terrarium TV on a Roku device would land on this tutorial. The thing is, you don’t actually install anything on Roku because its operating system is based on Linux and isn’t compatible with Terrarium TV. Terrarium TV, being an Android APK, has to be installed on an Android phone, and then you can cast it to your Roku. Of course, you can also cast it directly to your TV, but where’s the fun in that?
Think of Roku as a hardware device, similar to Amazon Fire TV. You can get it as a USB dongle called the Roku Streaming Stick or as a box called the Roku Express. Both of these options let you access legal TV streams over the internet and play them on your TV or computer.
Terrarium TV, on the other hand, is an Android app, just like ShowBox or Playbox. It allows you to access and play streams on whatever device you have the app installed on. It offers access to both TV shows and movies. However, unlike Roku, it’s not exactly legal, and you won’t find it on the Google Play Store.
Now, let me be clear. TechJunkie doesn’t support accessing illegal streams. We do, however, believe in providing free access to information, which is why I put together this tutorial. I’m going to show you how to get Terrarium TV on a Roku device, but what you choose to do with it from there is entirely up to your own conscience.
How to Set Up Terrarium TV on Your Roku Device
So, you want to watch Terrarium TV on your Roku device? Well, you’re in luck! With just a few simple steps, you’ll be able to enjoy all your favorite shows and movies on the big screen.
- First, download the Terrarium TV APK file onto your Android device. You can find it on the official website.
- Once the APK file is downloaded, go to your Android device’s Settings and navigate to the Security section. Enable the option to allow installation from Unknown Sources.
- Now, run the APK file and follow the prompts to install Terrarium TV on your Android device.
- On your Android device, go to the Display settings.
- Select Cast Screen and More Options.
- Enable Wireless Display and choose your Roku from the list of available devices.
- Once your Roku is connected, you can start casting your screen to your TV and enjoy Terrarium TV.
Note: If you have a Samsung or any other Android device with a manufacturer overlay, you may need to follow different instructions to make it work.
Once you’ve successfully connected your Roku and Android devices, you’ll see your Android screen duplicated on your TV. From there, you can open Terrarium TV on your Android device and start streaming to your TV. Just make sure both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. If you encounter any issues, try restarting both devices and double-checking your network connections.
Stay Safe with Terrarium TV
Before we continue, it’s important to note that Terrarium TV is not officially supported or endorsed. While there may be legal streams available, many are not. That’s why it’s crucial to protect yourself while using this app.
If you’re casting from your phone to your Roku, you’ll need to connect your phone to a VPN or use one on your router. This will add an extra layer of security and help safeguard your online activities. Be sure to choose a reliable VPN from one of TechJunkie’s VPN guides and install it on all your devices that connect to the internet.
Now that we have that covered, you have successfully learned how to enjoy Terrarium TV on your Roku device. Although it may not be a direct installation on Roku, it still provides you with a convenient way to watch your favorite TV shows and movies on the big screen. Happy streaming!
