How to Install Public Roku Channels from Your Mobile Phone
Bypass Mobile Sites and Access Full Websites
With the recent changes to Roku's website, mobile users are now blocked from installing public Roku channels. Private channels with codes will still work as before. When users now try to install Public Roku channels by clicking on "Add Roku Channel" links, your browser is automatically redirected to a limited version of the mobile Roku site which has no access to the Roku channel store.
One can still use a desktop PC or use the simple "Browser User Agent" work around methods described below to access the entire Roku site or any other websites. This will give you the ability once again to add Public Roku channels from mobile devices.
User Agent Workarounds
Android Users:
Here are a couple of easy ways to quickly switch your user-agent.

This extension will let you switch to a desktop User Agent for full access to websites and to bypass limited mobile websites.
