If you have a Roku 3+ or newer device and would like to view Cathe’s OnDemand channel on it, first make sure that you have an active Cathe OnDemand subscription and then follow these steps below. We have recently had to update the Cathe OnDemand app to meet Roku’s new requirements. You will have to uninstall your old app and install the newest version. Unfortunately there is no way to update the old version. Please follow these steps to get the new version installed on your Roku device:

Delete the old app on your Roku device:

  3. Type in “Cathe OnDemand” with your remote, and you should see the channel appear on the right side of the screen
  4. Select the channel by hitting the right arrow, then select “Add channel”
  5. That’s it. The new app should be on your home screen. You will need to log in again using your Cathe OnDemand account credentials
If you prefer to install the channel from your computer’s web browser:
  1. Click on or type in this URL: https://my.roku.com/account/add/CatheOnDemandRoku
  2. Verify that you are not, in fact, a robot
  3. Click on “Add channel”
  4. The channel will appear on your Roku within a day, or to speed that up, continue below
  5. On your Roku, from the main screen scroll down and select “Settings”

  • I have 2 Roku Tvs and a roku device. I activated my account on one TV, but the tv in my gym, with the actual roku device, I cant link to my on demand account. The tokens aren’t being accepted by my on demand account. How do can i add all my Tvs to my on demand account? Why will it only except one? And if will only accept one TV, how do I change the token to the TV I actually workout in front of?

  • I’ve got everything linked properly but so far none of the videos are working for me. They don’t load when I click on the video title. I don’t know yet if it’s because my Roku is older or if there is something else wrong. I will try another Roku and see if that makes a difference. I’m really looking forward to getting everything set though. Even though I own quite a few of the videos already, this will be a lot easier once it is working as it should. Any advice on how to move forward will be welcomed.

  • I have the same issue that Tanya has. I have downloaded the app and have linked it to my account. I can navigate to all the videos but when i click on any of them it acts like to going to start to load but then quickly goes back to the selection screen.

  • I have an old Roku device, a requirement of my ISP. It didn’t work at first and kept reloading. I called my ISP and they said I needed to increase my internet streaming capacity, adding another $20 a month. Cathe on Demand is expensive, especially given the $8 a month for streaming services like Netlflix and Hulu. I’ll try it for a couple of months but may go back to my DVDs due to the extra $40 a month I’m paying to use it.

  • I am also using an older Roku, I believe it is a version 2. Roku 3 won’t work with my older non-HD television. Please let us know if using the older version is a problem and if there any options to work around. Like Cheryl, I have many of the DVD sets, but was hoping this would be a better option for accessing the content for monthly rotations.

  • We’ve only tested on a Roku 3. All of our video files are in HD 720p format. So I would think you would have issues, but can’t say for sure as we haven’t tested on an older Roku.

  • I’ve been unable to access OnDemand on my Roku 3 device. Currently, I have Cathe Live, which may explain why I kept getting error messages telling my subscription was invalid (I did get the message from Cathe’s site that I had successfully linked my account). I went ahead and deleted the program icon from my Roku channel selections, but now I’m no longer able to locate it. The latter may be a Roku issue, but if I am able to access and re-link to Cathe OnDemand, will I be able to access Cathe Live videos if I’ve opted for that subscription only or is that an option that is not yet available to subscribers (and, if so, will it be available at some point down the road?) Thanks!

  • Currently only our OnDemand service is available on Roku, not Cathe Live. Eventually we will make Cathe Live videos available too, but that’s down the road.

  • Roku on Demand is a little disappointing – you can’t really jump forward if there is one exercise that you want to skip and if you fastforward you can’t see where to stop in order to start with the next exercise.
    Since Cathe live is only available to watch on my computer ( I don’t have a smart TV in my workout room) I can’t really use it since my laptop screen is way too small. Unless Cathe live videos will be uploaded to on Demand I will cancel my subscription and go back to working out with DVDs.

  • You don’t need a smart TV to watch on the big screen. Roku has its limitations and using a computer linked to any TV is a better option in my opinion. A simple HDMI cable from your lap top to your TV is all that is needed. Or you can use Chromecast or Apple TV. All of these options will give you the ability to instantly go to the chapter you want to use.

  • Hi Cathe, we just bought a Roku II yesterday and followed your instructions and it went very smoothly, and within a couple minutes we were able to watch one of the videos for a few minutes just to see how it works.

  • Once I worked through the kinks it works great! I don’t know if I can afford to keep it year round but it is awesome to have access to EVERYTHING!

  • Dear Cathe

    I run a ladies fitness facility & I am very interested in running your fitness dvds on demand service. I currently have a projector & a screen available and an internet connection is there a way through the Roko box we can successfully run your programs at the gym.

  • I signed up for the Cathe Live feed. I really like it so far. I use it on days I don’t go to the gym. They don’t have classes I like there every day so on those days I work out with Cathe. This works great, I just hook up my Kindle to my TV and go thru the URL. Thanks so much for offering this streaming service.

  • I have Cathe On Demand streaming on my Roku 4. I also have a Roku TV. I have the channel loaded, but it asks me to enter the code from the Roku TV screen. When I enter it it says the account is already linked. When I press proceed it tells me that my account was not successfully linked. Can you only stream on 1 device?

  • The URL does not take me to the page to add the channel. Once I log in, the Cathe OnDemand is not there

  • So I am considering a subscription. I have a Roku 4, and Roku sticks. Does this work on the Sticks or only on the Roku box. I may have to swap my equipment around if the stick won’t work.

  • Why do the DVD videos not show up as an option when using Roku. They do when I connect with laptop.

  • I see that there is Cathe Live for Roku. When I try to link it. It just give me Cathe On Demand. Is there a step I am missing?

    Thank you,

    Lori

  • I have Cathe OnDemand on Roku and I love it!! I only get her DVDS and not her Cathe Live Workouts. I love that I get all her DVD workouts because I can do her monthly rotations. I just press on Cathe App on the Roku and there they are. I press on the one I want and there Cathe is. It is so great! I don’t have to buy the DVDs and I don’t have to worry if the DVD is going to skip. I love that Cathe I on demand because the DVDs sometimes skip and get ruined, but the Roku never does. It is so awesome. Highly recommend it! Also, if you want to just try a workout or watch one. It is awesome! Way to go CATHE!!!

  • I was able to add the channel fine to my ROKU but when I try to put in the username and password, it just keeps saying that it is invalid. Any ideas?

  • I have cathe on demand on Roku but when I put in the code for Cathe Live it’s says not available in your region. I’m from the UK.

    I purchased Cathe on demand and intend to use via Roku. I was able to get in. I am able to find and click on each individual video. However it will not play. It flashes a picture as though it is downloading, then just stops and returns to the selected video picture. It is not playing the videos. What do you suggest? Thank You.

    Hi Cathe I just purchased your live streaming account on my iPad and when I go on my roku tv the app is not on there but I can get your workout on my iPad but I would prefer it on my TV. Is there something I’m doing wrong and I just bought a roku tv for the purpose of working out. Thanks Marielle Dicker
