Common Questions

Why do I need to create a Roku account?
Before you can start streaming, channels must be downloaded and installed on your streaming player. You’ll need a Roku account to access the Roku Channel Store, manage your subscriptions, view your purchase history, and add a payment method. For more info, visit go.roku.com/whyaccount

Why do I need to enter a credit card?
Saving a payment method makes it easy to rent or buy movies on demand, subscribe to popular services, and enroll in free trials. Charges will not be made without your authorization. For more information, visit go.roku.com/paymenthelp

What should I do if my streaming player is not connecting to my wireless network?
Your streaming player connects to your wireless network the same as your laptop or smartphone. If these other devices can access the internet, then your streaming player should be able to do the same. Make sure to select the same network name, and enter the same password you use with the other devices. Remember that passwords are case-sensitive and easy to enter incorrectly.

Can I take my Roku streaming player with me when I travel?
Yes. You can bring your streaming player and watch your favorite entertainment when you travel. Remember to also bring a USB power adaptor (like your phone charger), remote, and any cables you use to connect your streaming player at home. Make sure your destination has a good internet connection. You may need a computer or smartphone to help connect your streaming player to a new wireless network.
