You need a Roku account to complete this step. If
you already have a Roku account, you’ll be asked
to log in. If you don’t, you’ll be asked to create one.
You are only charged for purchases or
subscriptions you make after agreeing to the costs.
There are no fees associated with signing up for a
Roku account and even though we ask you for a
credit card, no charges are made unless you
choose to make a purchase. You have an option to
add a PIN code that is required to authorize any
purchases.
Note
:
Channel availability is subject to change
and not all content is available in countries or regions where Roku products are sold. TCL •
Roku TV streaming content is not licensed for use or available outside the United States
(including US Territories).
After you log in or create your Roku account, the TV gets an acknowledgement and adds your
preexisting streaming channels, if any, to your TCL • Roku TV. This process is automatic and
takes a few moments—a little longer if you already have a lot of streaming channels to add.
Tip
:
Streaming channels from all Roku devices associated with your account are synchronized
periodically, so all of your Roku devices have the same streaming channels (subject to
compatibility with the device).
Why do I need a Roku Account?
You need a Roku account for several reaons.
It links you, your TCL • Roku TV, your other Roku
devices, the Roku web site, and a payment
method.
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.
Important
: It doesn’t cost anything to use your TCL
• Roku TV, and there are lots of free channels. If
you choose to add a streaming channel or other
application with associated fees (most have none),
it’s paid for by the payment method you have
specified.
