Why do I need a Roku account?
You need a Roku account for several reasons:
•
It links you, your Roku TV, and your other Roku streaming devices to the Roku
Store and billing service.
•
Streaming content providers know that it’s OK to send content you request to your
Roku TV.
•
Roku can automatically update your TV with the latest features.
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. Providing payment information
during signup makes renting, purchasing, and subscribing to entertainment from the
Roku Store fast and convenient.
After you activate your TV, it gets an acknowledgement from Roku 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: Roku periodically synchronizes streaming channels among all of the
devices associated with your account. Therefore, adding or removing a channel
from one of your Roku devices adds or removes it from all of your other Roku
devices (subject to compatibility with the device).
