How to fix Pluto TV on Roku
Updating the Pluto TV app and your Roku could work, and clearing your Roku’s cache
Pluto TV may not work on your Roku device due to several issues, such as an outdated app or Roku system software.
First and foremost, before you do anything, double-check that Pluto TV isn’t having an outage. You can quickly check its website (pluto.tv) and see if it works there to check. Second, double-check your internet speed by running a speed test. To do this, you can simply just Google search “speed test” and run it from your browser. Pluto TV recommends having 5MB of download speed to work. If your internet is running slower than that, it could be why Pluto TV isn’t working on your Roku.
