Roku is a streaming device or a TV set. It is not a service you watch.


If you want to watch some streaming service available on your Roku or Roku TV, on your iPhone, then download the relevant App for it, and log in with your account for the service.


Depending on the service and your plan with them, will be how many screens you can watch it on simultaneously.


Unless you are actually mirrong your iPhone to the Roku device or TV, anytihng you watch on the iPhone should be independent of the TV.
