How to Add Channels to your Roku Streaming Device
How to Add Channels to your Roku Streaming Device
Just like your smartphone accesses an “app store” to add new applications, your Roku streaming player or Roku TV™ accesses the Roku Channel Store to add new channels. Some channels require a paid subscription or a one-time charge, while many others are free. Browse the Roku Channel Store directly from your Roku device, or by visiting channelstore.roku.com. Channels can also be added when using the Roku mobile app on a compatible mobile device.
- Note: When you add a channel to your Roku device, you are actually adding it to your Roku account. As a result, the channel will automatically be added to all Roku devices linked to your Roku account. When you remove a channel, the same is true. It will be removed from all Roku devices linked to your Roku account.
