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. To accomplish this, 
your streaming player must be linked to a Roku account. With 
a Roku account, not only can you add channels from the Roku 
Channel Store, but you can also manage your subscriptions, view 
your purchase history, and update payment method. For more 
information, 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 
power adapter, remote and any cables you use to connect your 
streaming player at home, and make sure your destination has 
a good internet connection. You will also need a computer or 
smartphone with wireless capabilities and a web browser to help 
get your streaming player connected to the network. For more 
details, visit go.roku.com/travelwithroku
