How to sign in to watch movies and TV shows
Your Roku® streaming device lets you access movies and TV shows on The Roku Channel, channels published by your cable/satellite provider, and the Roku Channel Store.
While some channels automatically sign you in, most channels require you sign in to access your paid content. The email and password you use to sign in to a channel depends on how you signed up for it. Check the channel categories below for information how to sign in.
Channels on The Roku Channel
Your Roku device automatically signs you in to The Roku Channel during the activation process. Learn how to activate your Roku device for activation help.
Use your Roku account's email and password to access your Premium Subscriptions on therokuchannel.com. Learn how to recover your Roku email or password if you need help signing in.
Channels from the Channel Store
Subscriptions purchased on the Channel Store use your Roku account's email and password or the email and password of a separate account managed directly with the channel provider.
If you had an account with your provider prior to purchasing your Roku device, the username and password associated with your subscription is managed directly with your channel provider. Your email and password is also managed directly with your provider if you created an account while purchasing your subscription. Contact your provider for help with these sign in details.
If a channel did not prompt you to create an account during purchase, you use your Roku account's email and password to access your subscription. Get help with your Roku email and password for assistance accessing these channels.
Cable provider or TV network channels
Some channels are accessible only to customers with a cable provider or TV network subscription. Learn how to access content with your cable or satellite subscription to watch content on these channels. If you have trouble signing in to the channel, you must contact your provider directly for assistance.
