After you log in or create your Roku account,
the link page suggests that you select some
streaming channels. After you confirm your
selections, the TV gets an acknowledgement,
and then adds your preexisting and newly-

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).
After it adds your selected streaming channels, the TV helps you set up the devices that you’re

Why do I need a Roku Account?
You need a Roku Channel Store account for several
reaons.
•
It links you, your Roku TV and your other Roku
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.
•

Important
: It doesn’t cost anything to use and
maintain your Roku Channel Store account (other than
the cost of the TV and Internet access). Your Roku TV is
packed with hundreds of free channels. Adding a
payment method now lets you easily rent or buy
movies on demand, or try popular subscription or
transaction-based streaming channels.
