Using the Roku Channel Store
The
Streaming Channels
menu option takes you to the Roku Channel Store, where you can add new streaming channels and
applications to your TV.
Tip:
The
Streaming Channels
menu option is available only if your TV is connected to the Internet.
Tip:
You also can search for streaming channels by using the
Search
option, as explained in
Searching for movies and shows
on page 27
.
To make it easier to find what you want, the streaming channels in the Roku Channel Store are categorized by topic. Press
[UP]
and
[DOWN]
to highlight the category you want, and then press
[RIGHT]
to move the highlight into the grid of streaming
channel tiles.
When you find a streaming channel you want to add or learn more about, highlight it and press
[OK]
to display more details.
If the streaming channel you are adding is free, you can start watching it immediately.
If there is a one-time or recurring fee associated with using the streaming channel, you must agree to the terms and
conditions, accept the fee, and—if you created one when you activated your TV— enter your Roku PIN code to authorize
the charges.
If you already have a subscription to the streaming channel—for example, you already subscribe to Netflix or you receive
HBO through your cable TV provider—you must complete a different, simple authorization step to add the streaming
channel.
You only have to complete the authorization or activation step one time, when you initially add the streaming channel. After
that, you simply select the streaming channel tile from your
Home
screen to start watching.
Tip:
New streaming channels and apps are being added weekly, so be sure to check back every now and then.
