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
Channel Store and billing service.
• Streaming content providers know that it’s OK to send content you request to
your 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, it gets an acknowledgement, and then adds your
newly-selected and pre-existing streaming channels to your Roku TV. 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).
