6. After the installation is complete, you can open the Roku app from the app section on your TV. Depending on your TV model, this may involve selecting it from the app list or pressing the dedicated “Roku” button on your remote control.

7. When you open the Roku app for the first time, you will be prompted to sign in or create a Roku account. If you already have a Roku account, you can sign in using your credentials. If you don’t have an account, you will need to create one by following the on-screen instructions.

It’s worth noting that the availability of the Roku app may vary depending on the model and region of your Philips Smart TV. If you are unable to find the Roku app in the app store, you can also check for any firmware updates for your TV. Updating the firmware may add new features and app compatibility to your TV.
