Activation
After the TV restarts, it prompts you through activation.
9. Use a computer, tablet, or smartphone with an Internet connection 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 Channel
Store and billing service.
•
Streaming content providers know that it’s OK to send content you request to your Roku
TV.
•
Roku can automatically send updates to your device.
You need a Roku account to activate your device and access entertainment across thousands
of 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, and while a valid credit card number is not required to create your
account, providing your credit card information makes renting, purchasing, and subscribing to
entertainment from the Roku Channel Store fast and convenient.
