Why do I need a Roku account?
You need a Roku account for several reasons:
It links you, your TCL • Roku TV, and your other Roku streaming devices to the
Roku Channel Store and billing service.
Streaming content providers know that it’s OK to send content you request to your
TCL • Roku TV.
Roku can automatically send updates to your device.
You need a Roku account to activate your device and access entertainment across
thousands of streaming channels. Linking to a Roku account also activates several
advanced features on your TV, such as Guest Mode, the Roku mobile app, and Live TV
Pause, to name just a few. Roku accounts are free, and while a valid credit card number
is not required to create your account, providing your credit card information makes
renting, purchasing, and subscribing to entertainment from the Roku Channel Store
fast and convenient.
After you activate your TV, the TV gets an acknowledgement, and then adds
your newly-selected and pre-existing streaming channels from other Roku
devices on the same account. This process is automatic and takes a few
moments—a little longer if you have added a lot of streaming channels.
Tip
: Streaming channels from all of the Roku streaming devices associated with
your account are synchronized periodically. All of your Roku streaming devices
therefore display the same set of channels (subject to compatibility with the
device).
