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. For
