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
more help, visit go.roku.com/wireless
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
the 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. For more details,
