How To: Install Aruvo TV Screensaver for Roku

🧾Summary

This article details the steps to install the Aruvo TV screensaver on a Roku TV or Roku Streaming Player.

Roku OS does not allow apps to redirect button assignments on the Roku remote control, so when guests press the "Home" button, "Back" button, or any dedicated app-launcher buttons, the TV will close the Aruvo Software app.
With this in mind, Aruvo team have created a Roku screensaver to encourage guests to reopen the Aruvo app. You can find instructions on how to install and configure the Aruvo screensaver below.
