7. To complete the activation process, use a computer, tablet or smartphone with an Internet connection to
receive and acknowledge the email from Roku, and then follow the instructions on that device to link to a
new or existing Roku account.
Why do I need a Roku account?
You need a Roku account for several reasons:
• It links you, your Roku TV and your other Roku streaming devices to the Roku Store and billing service.
• Streaming content providers know that it's OK to send content you request to your Roku TV.
• Roku can automatically update your TV with the latest features.
You need a Roku account to activate your device and access entertainment from streaming channels. Linking to
a Roku account also activates several advanced features on your TV, such as Guest Mode, the Roku mobile app,
and Live TV Pause, to name just a few. Roku accounts are free. Providing payment information during signup
makes renting, purchasing and subscribing to entertainment from the Roku Store fast and convenient.
After you activate your TV, the TV gets an acknowledgement and then adds your newly selected and pre-exist-
ing streaming channels from other Roku devices on the same account. This process is automatic and takes a few
moments – a little longer if you have added a lot of streaming channels.
Note: Roku doesn't charge for activation support – beware of scams.
Roku accounts are free and while a valid credit card number is not required to create a Roku account, saving
your credit card information makes renting and purchasing entertainment from the Roku Channel Store fast and
convenient.
Once connected to your account, your TV will automatically update with the latest software, and you can start
streaming immediately.
