Question

Can you get Roku on Apple TV?

Curious as to if you can get Roku downloaded to Apple TV as a viewing app. If I have to spend money on a Roku, I'd almost rather just get a new Apple TV. Thank you!

MacBook Air, macOS High Sierra (10.13)

I am not fully understanding the question, William.

Roku is a streaming player with different apps or viewing services.

Apple TV is a streaming player with different apps or viewing services.

There are other streaming players (Amazon Firestick)

Some viewing services are common to both.

You are welcome! If you had multiple HDMI inputs or a port switcher on your display (TV), you could use both Apple TV and Roku.
